no, i dont have any spacers.

as for that matal ring thing, was a bit of confusion on my part, i thought shaun was saying leave the metal ring in on the rear subframe bushes, didnt realise he meant the trailing arm bushes.

that colour is really nice, looks very tidy.

yeah from afar she looks great....unfortunately the arches aren't, the paint is bubbling in certain areas, back of the sills are fudged and oh yeah, check out my speed hole:



i also have no idea what the colour is....although it does look VERY similar to some old rover 200 series colours so i might get lucky when trying to match...fingers crossed!

Bloody hell. Is that a reflection of the work put into fitting the bodykit ?
Still, nice car. Seeing that really makes me want to put the Mk1 grille & sidelights on mine!

Bear in mind spacing the rears will, in-effect, exageratte the camber, possibily leading to heavy inner tyre wear.

the kit isn't too bad, there's a couple of paint issues but it seems well fitted enough. the spoiler doesn't feel overly secure.

as for the lights, if you've got a mk2 grille and sidelights, i'll do you a straight swap if you want?

You're on! PM'd.
I wondered if they damaged the underseal or something when it was fitted ?

tbh the underseal *looked* ok but as you can see from the pic, there's some black spray over the area - mebbe an attempt to cover up a problem. either way, im just glad the other side is solid. my mate is back off hols now so we should be able to weld that up and the back of the sills soon - just hope it's only the back of the sills or the skirts are gonna have to come off
