Ahhh gotcha, yeah I knew I'd read something about you getting fed up of something else lol
I'm just getting bored of drilling directly over the spot weld and still missing and end up going thru! Gonna just use the grinder from now on lol
Got a welder sorted out today too so will be handy to have in the shop.
Looking good Olly, the wings look weird and kinda cool at the same time! In one of the those pics its looks like your o/s rear window has popped out :)
Wow wow weeeee waaarrr, wings and bonnet look wicked on the car! :cool:
I know we were a little concerned about colour match, but I don't think we could've asked for better
Looks top notch, and as for helping out, anytime mate:thumb:
i think it looks ubber hardcore with those wings and actually doesnt look that weird with the different style arches front and back
lol lol lol :pQuote:

Some daylight pics of my car to show the colour match and 'un flatted' finish on the wings and bonnet...
As you can see - I have been playing with the ride height just to see what my options are available to me, and I'm pleased to say that even at the height below, I get no scrubbing problems on either lock, or when just driving (albeit, only to my road and back, due to being full race slicks lol)

So in a straight line, you can see that the lipless round arches are a godsend when it comes to clearence, as they'd usually have hit
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...ure/nc1097.jpg
Still have circa 8mm outwardly clearence, which could enable me to up my 5mm spacer, to 7mm, to aid spring clearence

Lowwwwwwwwww, Benn would be so proud
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...ure/nc1099.jpg
So... my right lock isn't a problem, it only stops night of "full lock" due to the inside of the rear part of the tyre hitting the inner arch, or the passenger tyre hitting the end case of the gearbox, neither of which is a problem

As you can see, I could afford to drop it even more should I want to, but I probably wont... or might lol

Left lock is the same as it always has been, just stops when the front leading inside edge hits the inner wing, which is also fine

Increased the castor again, now this is the absolute maximum you can achieve with running an XE, with the oil filter in the standard location, so without going to a remote filter, this will do for now lol

TCAs are now rising towards the outside of the car, as opposed to going down, but the tiebars would now plunge down towards the front of the car, so I will remove my lowering block to bring them back level, should I decide to stay at this height

And my new fave pic of the car...

I spose the 5dr wings are ok, in that pic anyway :p
