modified the top mounting points 2cm to the outside to gain a wider track in addition with the new coilovers.

hope you like it :d

Looks a right weapon with the kit fitted! +rep

This is so good, I can't believe the amount of work you have put into it, well done and keep it up! It looks brutal!

I think looking beefy is an understatement! Be great to see how it drives now with the wheelbase.

Amazing :)

:eek:

Just keeps getting better and better - awesome work..

Holy shît that looks brilliant, cracking skills :cool:
