I didn't clay it as i didn't really have the time and it's a bit too cold really.

Is it just me or do the front wheels look like they are sticking out quite far?

Thanks, but i wont be fitting coilovers, the sports cooper s suspension is perfect, i've done the whole fitting stupid suspension before and TBH for a roadcar it's a waste of time.

Nice, grey is the colour to have on S's! wheels look good!

Whats up the wheel fitment though? have you put spacers on them? - they look really far out!

Some lowering springs would look good too, not too much just 25 - 30mm.

I can't lower it anyway, the rear wheels already rub going over dips.

Besides, it's a road car so i'm keeping it comfy, not like my VX220!

As for the fronts, they currently have spacers fitted so they sit too wide, the reason being the discs have the wrong centre diameter, so until the new ones arrive they're going to have to stay.

Once they arrive though, the car will be perfect again cloud9
