what wheels are you on foxy? they 16's?

im pretty sure mine is lower, its on 15's but the arch is well over the tyre, thats on springs only, oops!
 
yeah 16' superleggeras... i could probably get another 10-15mm if the spacers were taken out according to edde, but since that pic they have settled alot more as that was pretty soon after they were put on..

probably half of the tyre cant be seen now so its alright...

its a custom built catback exhaust system. it sits perfect and looks perfect and slightly subtle.

closer view (no need to cheat either)

yup no spacers at all.. they are actually sitting in my glove box. lol.. the car still had the arch liners in with no rubbing what so ever. (how cools that) although since i changed my rear bumper to a 172 rear bumper, i had to take arch liners out. :rasp: but still no rubbin :approve:

rtech autodesign in st albans built my exhaust system. they did tell me that they might have a problem as my car was too low, but they buily a customer rear box that just about makes it over the speed humps in london. lol and trust me in london the speed humps are fookin high and scary. :(

but ive had no major or minor problems with it at all being that low. im lowering the front though once my spacers come through as now my 1.2 has 172 wings and front bumper on.
