Looks sweet. You need to adapt the exhaust to come out straight. And what wheels you after? And 250 quid for coilovers sounds a bargain. What make are they?

arches look tidy - get them sealed properly before them really start to bubble - especially as your considering lowering it.

Matt -

best way to seal them depends on the state of them to start with.

If youve just had them done then they shooud be okay but if you run your finger along the arch edge (where the inner and outer parts join), you may feel a small gap - thats where the compromised points are - water get in, dirt etc and it rots.

Make sure theyre fully clean and dry then run some grey stripe or similar mastic along the join. You wont see it and if you use grey stripe you can paint it. This is especially important if the arch has been rolled or ground back as you'll have caused a well (rolled) or exposed the metal (ground).

dont use silicone sealer.
