Ha ha welcome to my world!!!

This is how a car should be properly lowered! Some people will absolutely hate these I personally love them... Full thread can be found here... http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1423 ps, Don't fill this thread with daft works like handling and practicality!

I dont think it matters which way its formed more than metal they are made from there is quite alot of information available on the web, Im certainly no expert

It maybe tbh, its the heat that does it. Subjecting metal upto 400f (required to melt the powder) will always change the propeties someway

I thought it was quite common knowledge that powder coating done a certain way can significantly weaken wheels.

Has anybody been to Snetterton before... what the entrance and parking like there? I.e is it bumpy/speed bumps etc? I might lower my car properly for this one

/\ you are showing your age!

Where about is your stand guys, Im with NS at this one and looks like we're facing the drift taxi area... Wahoo cleaning rubber off all day... bulletmagnet can I employee you for the day?

Just on the brackets where the OEM bumper fits there are some raised parts where the OEM bumper holes fit onto. Kinda hard to explain. On the passengers side the panels look equal but on the drivers its almost touching the wing near the headlight and has a decent panel gap toward the furthest edge of the bumper. May just not be seated correctly or might just need the allignment holes enlarging slightly. From a distance you probably wouldnt notice

Spray job looks really good, like how you have filled in the badge recess. Only thing that concerns me is the panel gaps particularly in this picture The bonnet line at the front isn't uniform and where the wing meets the bumper it seems to get wider as you get further away, might just need refitting but its the little touches that make all the difference

We can find you Mark ha ha http://forums.m3cutters.co.uk/showthread.php?t=6648 Couple of treats ... Only Genuine Veilside Wide arch in the country and running a cool 321 bhp

And I couldnt even get over these !!!

Cheers Stew, There is still a long way to go to be honest just thought I would show some progress pictures. I would love to replace every visable bolt in my engine bay with a Chrome ones

Srobrien - I have done everything in the engine bay myself apart from the battery brake covers and slam panel

All the piping is gloss back its just all covered in dust at the mom You have all missed a few things I have done ... Look at the colour difference between the Drivers sus mount and the Passengers. I resprayed that to see how it came out. Also washer cap has been sprayed black along with slam panel, battery and brake fluid covers. Wire tuck the two main wires that run over the strut brace Subtly is everything!! Dan

Still awaiting my harness cover but here's so far... The vacume pipe bracket at the back of the engine Enjoy

0.9ltr - buy a 1.5ltrs to allow for spillages

Sorry only 30000 yen I meant!

But that has made your day ... Sorry Ian!

And the answer is ... 32000 yen .... go on do the current conversion ... i dare you!

If i can find the cost of them he will be even more gutted!!!

Good job ... Did you know ... I think those floor mats you have are an optional extra from Japan and consequently very rare!!!!!!!!!
