Cheers og :thumbsup:

From a handling and visual perspective I am loving them. Much tighter round corners and looks the business. However the rubbing I am getting on the front, particularly on the driver's side, is doing my nut in a bit. With the roof down I can hear the tyre rubbing on the arch liner every time I go over a reasonable bump in the road. I'm getting paranoid it will wear through the plastic :cry:

I think I may try taking the front spacers off, even though my Indy said that the rubbing - on lock - is worse. I think the rubbing from suspension travel will drop off considerably. First off though is taking the bumper off and fitting the new side clips I have to see if tightening everything up helps any. Job scheduled for Tuesday or Wednesday, best order some new shiny bolts too, just in case it doesn't work...
 
Thanks guys, it is gorgeous here today. 23 degrees when I got ack at 0830 :thumbsup:

Off to Portsmouth for a couple of days this morning though, in the family Honda, so no Z driving till Tuesday now :(

I used to wheel my bike down the road before starting her up for early morning rides, as I don't think my neighbours waned a 1000cc twin with race pipes as their alarm call :evil:

I do really enjoy the fun you can have on an early Sunday morning blast though :driving:
 
Ah! Sunday morning hooning in the sun. Life doesn't get much better than that! Nice pics :thumbsup:

Well unless your driving a coupe :D

Nice pics btw, off for a cruise and a walk later :thumbsup:
 
Lovely pics. Did the pub serve morning coffee? That would have been idyllic :thumbsup:

Sadly I'm going nowhere with only 4 bolts in one wheel.

If you do take your spacers out, IIRC you change your geometry again. So you might need to get the alignment redone...

Car looks great though :)
 
Too early for coffee Stu :(

Will taking the spacers off change the geo ? I thought I read on here that it doesn't :?

Hopefully the bumper fix will work... Wondering if the wing has not quite been restored to it's original shape after a bump, as the rubbing is nowhere near as bad on the passenger side, and the arch sits a few millimetres further out. Damned frustrating...

Hope yours is sorted soon :thumbsup:
 
Nice pics, you tried the built in hairdryer from the glove compartment to adjust the front arch liner? Bit of heat and bend.
