    Mine was done in metal ......... after Id driven it into a ditch, Id never have done it otherwise :lol:

    My arches were probably about 80mm extended each side and the wheel specs I was running were faintly ridiculous - 18x10 ET -35 front , 11.5 ET -25 at the rear or something, wheels like that dont come up very often and spacing wheels for widearches is not acceptable ........ :lol:

    and it ended up white, notice how much has been added to the Chargespeed bumpers to make them fit with the arches:

    It does look lovely though. Where did you get the paint job done?

  2. Hi all, 

     

    I've a few bits that need a new home after an early spring clean, so if they'd be of any use to you then let me know.

     

    First of are some 5mm universal shim spacers that I have, nothing special but if you want them they are yours for free, just pay the postage. Fyi as with any spacers you may need longer studs fitted dependent on your wheel design and offsets.

     

    Next is a good old OEM Bluetooth module first me 80 quid way back then but happy to let it go for 20. Be warned you need a pretty old phone for it to be of any real use, modern phones just won't work on it too well.

     

    Thirdly I have some brand new Whiteline ARB bushes, front and rear.  I didn't need them when I replaced mine ARBs as I had some nice Superpros to go on instead. £45 for front and rear together.

    Again it depends what you call excessively marked up. A company marking up a product by 20% is not excessive by any stretch and although larger chains do report into a wider network and they can better survive harder times ultimately every dealership has targets they are measured against and if they fail consistently the long term result is closure of that branch.

     

    The company I work for sells a service, the numbers I stick to on pricing for our department are COGS <35% and margin >30% otherwise we may as well be a charity/NFP. The numbers in the OP are not in any shape or form a rip off in my view, in fact its less than I thought dealers would be aiming for.

    I agree with you there @coldel as the money they are making would make being in business seem pretty pointless.  It wouldn't even pay for a day or two of being open with all theiroverheads.

  5. I just wanted to send a massive thank you to Craig and Graham @ H-Dev for the truly awesome set up they've performed on my suspension.  The car is a completely different beast now and is just amazing through any twisty stuff. :drive1

    As always the guys  were fantastic during the work and although I missed her dearly, the week it took to do this was completely worth it.

    @Jez @ H-Dev @Gareth@h-dev I salute you and the team!

  6. Hi All,

     

    I'm currently redoing my suspension, re-bushing all over with new adjustable coilovers.  I was originally thinking of a modest 10mm drop as I drive this on the road as my daily, but now I'm thinking if I should go a little bit more.  What does everyone think would be a good drop?

     

    My set up sat on 19s with 265/30 and 295/30 front and rear.  Rear arches rolled.

     

    Not looking for any speed bump hassles or indeed slammed in any way.

     

    Cheers! :D
