After my lil incident with a Rover I\'ve got my baby back.
Now have a modified Gram Lights nose and full front end re-spray.
Car is still stupid low so is going into the garage tomorrow for "higher springs"...lol.
Anyway heres a few pics.
BTW the front number plate is going shortly.
All the extra air helps...lol
Looking good Rich-is the car the original red?-it looks alot richer in depth..maybe it\'s the camera! :p
Pete
Mate your car is looking the bomb.....
Loving the new front............ :god
GOOG GOD - thats low - i would never get that into our street
sexy motor though
Hi Rich,
did you ever measure the ride height....and how much are you expecting to raise it ??
Now there\'s a first. Raising an FD. :D
Sweet ride mate.
Fish
nICE..........
Very nice Rich! I thought my car was low at the front till I saw your car :)
That front end looks awesome, really like that...sooooo low! love it, shame we aint got the roads for it :(
You got any plans for the sides and rear?
Get a motorcycle size plate for the front, "forgot to take it off after the last car show officer!" (and keep the real one in the back somewhere :) )
Looks great Rich, red looks really nice.
Cheers for the kind words guys.
Pete - Think its the standard Mazda red so must be my camera.
Ross - Cheers for your help m8. Really loving the look now.
noyzboy100db - No I didn\'t get around to measuring the height m8.
To give you an idea of how low it is. I went out Sat night and chipped the bumper in 2 places on cats eyes. It was a weird camber in the road but I was still shocked I\'d managed to do it. :rollin
Car getting "highered" today thank gawd.
ScuttleRX - Cheers for the idea on the plate, I\'ll look into that.
Rich :)
That front bumper looks mean ! Can imagine you would scare a few people looking in their rear view mirror with you coming up fast... :D
Do like the look of the car mate, well tasty!!
Curious though...... the arch to wheel clearance looks very similar to mine, and the front of mine is about 3" off the deck (running standard front end ), is it just down to the front bumper being deeper?
Jono
Yeah I would say its down to the bumper being deeper.
It\'s about 1.5-2 inches off the ground. The previous bumper gave me slightly more clearance.
How much have you lifted her by?? Sounds like it\'s time for some bigger rims, or your gonna have a monster gap in the wheel arches! nice set of 19 or 20" graphite centred rims would go well!!
Jono
Looking very nice indeed mate.
next you need to get someone in a sinclair C5 to run up the back end so you can get yourself a rear diffuser on the insurance :p
Like your thinking Donato.
All I need to do is let Sophie follow me on one of her driving lessons :p
