Only a couple taken on my iphone last weekend. She has 15mm spacers all round, but the front need abit more. I got rubbing on the rears if i hit a bump over 25mph! She needs new tyres & wheel refurb. Then just need to tidy up the bullets, maybe colour code them & spray the grills satin black. Oh & a bloody good detail/correction.

Opinions welcome, good or bad. :o
 
lol, I put it back on last weekend! Its just sitting there, I like it being used! :p

Cheers!

Raceland's I think ?
 
Standard stupidly clear car in the hanger photos! Great as always though :) You running 195's or 205's? I had 15mm rear spacers on 195's and it also rubbed like mad, had to change to 5mm in the end. Im running 25mm up front, having a couple of issues since changing to Spax RSX's as they are running slightly lower than the Apex bone crunchers I had before, turn in and grip is amazing though :)
 
cheers mate. 195's. The rubbing isn't constant, just if the roads are bad! :(

So should I put 25mm on the fronts?
 
aww thanks very much! I'd love a front end respray, a new drivers seat, a few dings need pulling out & some nice new rota alloys would be nice! Trying not to spend anymore on her though! :o
 
Looks a nice example.

Funnily enough me and Lesley were looking at a flame red one yesterday and saying how much we like the colour, dont see them often at all though.
 
Lovely. Really really nice to see one without lime green bullets and badges.

Imo, you should put the 25mm spacers on the front and put 10/15mm on the back.

Click to expand...

Im having issues running at a low(ish) height with 25mm spacers but others haven't had issues, have a look in my recent Media thread for the height
 
I dont want to spend any more money though, lol.

Buy 20mm spacers for the front. Thats it! Had my 2 nephews in the car today, not much more rubbing than just me in the car.

Im happy for now. Thanks guys :)
 
Meh favourite colour.... Why didn't I paint my dCi tht. Colour :(

Stunning example. Not many ph2 flamers nocking about anymore.

One other thing, can I have it off you next year pwitty pwease ? :D
 
looks superb.
lowered mine last week due to a snapped front spring,
was rude not too.
confused over these spacers though lol.
i have the same std oem 172 alloys on 195 rubber,
