Just get them on and work it out from there, they might rub or they might not, depends on how low you want to run it really.

As Low as i can go mate :). I'm going to have to roll the rear arches atleast..

The Rear centre's came back from machining today and looks all good! Going to worry about powder coating them another time as i dont have the funds at the moment :(.

Next weekend lol. I need my arches rolled but no one can help on here... :(

Try it yourself.

Hammer, Mallet, baseball bat lol.

Or you could hire an arch roller.

Will be trying to get my wheels fitted next weekend as this friday would of been silly to try travelling up to get them done because of the royal wedding.

I've just bought some 6N2 all red rear lights, has anyone got any idea how to swap this wiring round? I have the bulb holders aswell with them.

Jamesy

If you have a part of the new loom, just crimp some male spade connectors on the end of them and then slap them in the end of the old connector/clip, just match up the wires then :) If not then use the guide mentioned ^

good luck bud!

Haha it does look pretty mental mate! The bars are only on loan so i havnt wasted 50.00 for something that I'm only going to use twise probally ever lol :p

Basically i was after some FK Powerlooks but they are too expensive selling at 145.00 a set without bulbs or anything so i was thinking trying to find another set of standard 6N headlights but with the inserts sprayed black...can i find these anywhere, ebay I've looked and no luck, I'm not up for trying to do it myself.
