Lowered my LWB/ HI TOP yesterday and as it was arse low I made some hangers today and lifted slightly over level on the rear. Done the axle flip on the rear with new plates welded and Focus MK1 RS springs on the front. My roll bar (rear) is disconnected at the moment. Had a little drive out tonight and all seems good, wheel appears to be central in the rear arch as well so all good. Just need to sort out bodywork now, some sorta graphics to go over it. I'm liking the ones above swtech's 8) and a stainless exh system.

Mine are sat here waiting to be split. General consensus seems to be, in the oven for 20mins at about 100 deg
Anyone concur?

Matt or satin is best...gloss still has the potential to reflect light meaning dazzling headlights... Not good with hids! :lol:
