Alright mate a while back you asked if i was selling my mercs, i am now if interested but i assume not as you look sorted ha.

Yeah mate all sorted now. just out of curiosity any chance you could pm me some pics?

Also not much has a happend since my last post. I bagged some 30mm adapters for the rear so it now sits like this:

Had some electrical problems but got that sorted, I also wound the front down all the way the other day to give it abit of stance, now sits pretty nicely.

Bagged some new tyres for the rear as well as the ones I'm on are pretty much spent.

Decent pics up soon!

looking good bro, need to get my rears spaced out, what width and offset are the porkers on the back?

Thanks mate, ah right yeah best to run it on the outside, depends what your local police are like I suppose. Could always get one of those custom retractable number plate mounts the yanks run on some audi's

Yeah that may be a good idea actually, although i'll do it next summer as this'll probably be going into winter mode soon!

Little pic of how it sits (apologies for pic quality may have forgotten to lower the iso...)

Cheers liam, long time no speak, hows yours progressing?

Good shout!

Also, new one :)

That is such a nice looking car!

Bit off topic here but I'm struggling to fit my front coilovers, is there any chance you could give me some advice on how to remove the front struts from where they connect to the hub, i removed the big bolt with the m14 multi spline fitting, but then couldn't get the strut to budge. Any ideas?

Thanks man.

Brute force usually does it, that or a hammer. They're stiff as fuck anyway if i remember correctly.

Is your reg beginning with NY02?

If so, it's from the same place as my 9N!

I had a go at getting the strut out again today, tried twatting it with a hammer and other things like putting a jack between the hub and where the spring sits and even that didn't work. I'm no mechanic so I'm tempted to take it to a garage to get them fitted, even though I wanted to do it myself :(

Hrm, I'm not sure then man. If it was me i'd take it to garage and get it done properly
