Couple pics with the new GAZ coilys on. Not slammed by any means but imo a ''good'' height. Still rubs on the arches when going into the bends. I didnt want it looking ridiculous with the NO suspension look but theyve got loads left to go if i want:) Also had the exhausts moved up a touch...
After starting my detail the other day on the car i bought a car cover for it and used it on the car when i had finished. The car was completey dry and the front half had just been pc'd and sealed with 1 layer of wax. My question is . . . Should i have done anything different before covering it...

My steering feels very heavy compared to my sisters clio(non rs) With hers it feels very easy to turn (steering wheel) compared to the 182. Is this just a normal thing due to it being an RS or should it be similar to 1.2s etc.????
