It'll be the rubber in the rear mount. There's 2 mounts under the boot floo that the exhaust hangs from, replace them both at a bout £20 each and all will be well! :)

As for the bumper I think it looks phat! Innit! lol :rasp:
20mm spacers are far too big for the 172 wheels, you're altering the offset drastically there. Send them back or sell them on.
I had 172's on my 1.2 with no rubbing issues what so ever at the front lowered 60mm all round. Rears rubbed slightly which 5mm spacers sorted out. Job done.
Ok, what car is it, a 1.2? Or is it a 172?
Silver especially iceburg is notoriously difficult to match.
What suspension have you got and why the hell do you need 20mm spacers?? :S
It's either the earth connection at the rear lights or the actual light connector has got some damp in it.
It all needs checking over and a good spray with WD40 etc! :)
Yeah I know they self adjust guys (;)) but if the rear is lower then the car will assume the nose is pointing skyward due to a heavy load in the boot and thus aiming the headlights slightly down so as not to dazzle oncoming drivers! ;)
Obviously the sensor has no way of knowing that the front...
Now seen as I've lowered the car (finally) I would like to get my headlight levels checked over.
Where is best for this? Is it an MOT station only kind of job or will any garage offer the service?
Yeah I used the compressors to be on the safe side but to be honest I had to compress them so little that you could probably get away without the need for them.
cheers guys 'n' gals! :approve:
It seems a little firmer if anything, but to be honest I haven't tested it fully yet so can't really comment.
Cheers, fitting was fairly straightforward really. Took me about 2 hours all in which I was happy with! :)
Yes I know we've all seen them 100's of times before! ;)
But here's my results before and after...

After taken literally straight after dropping it off the jack.
