Lmao would look mean lowered but deffo no going down the lowering route mate. Believe it or not, she already scrapes on bloody speed bumps! There's some outside the leisure centre we take Faith to, and Gayle's focus goes over them without fuss. Carly's front scrapes every one of them! Think it's the two deflector things either side of the front bumper as they seem to sit low.

Cheers chaps! Yeah think the wheels have beefed up the look big time. Also got a Alpine/Pure DAB/USB kit to fit to it. Means taking apart the whole dash and a load of new looms but will be worth it. Going to upgrade all the speakers too. She's a cracking wee daily!

Finally got new tyres for the rims today.......And got them fitted! Had her out for a blast to bed them in and had a mix of dry roads and wet (bloody rain!) Grip was superb, and ride not as hard as I thought it would be going from 15's to 17's. Got her back and all cleaned, tyres dressed etc (they're not done in the pics) anyways, the pics of how she looks now....

Not cranking could mean battery? Do the ignition lights go out when you try to start it? Does it just click? It could also be the starter that's at fault mate.

Need to get some of that!

Those wheels will look amazing, like them best in the bronze mate. Are you going for a bit of camber to fit them?
-
That looks amazing mate, suits those wheels perfectly! Gonna sound nuts, but I think it looks sweet at the standard ride height. Was contemplating putting DD's standard suspension back on but changed my mind.
-
The fronts are a mare to fit mate, I tried moulding/cutting them to fit the shape of the VTIS skirts but gave up!
-
Did you manage to fit the fronts? I take it those are oem Mb ones?
-
Nice!!!

I was going to do this to DD, but probably not gonna go ahead with it. I've got two centre consoles here that I bought to do this so might be for sale if you're interested? You need two as you need to cut the section outta one and use it to extend the radio slot of the other one.

Sweet looking deck mate, never knew how rare they were over there! Love those BBS reps, look absolutely amazing on her mate and one of my all time fav rims (they inspired the choice of rims on DD). fair play to you fitting the mid spoiler, totally changes the look of the rear and one of the best (and rarest) mods for the deck. I chickened out of fitting DD's and got Honda to do it lol. Keep up the good work!

Totally agree with Naz, deffo a sticking caliper mate. Had exactly the same symptoms on Ruby (my old MB6) same noise you describe and the wheel etc would heat up. Strip down the caliper and make sure the sliding pins can move freely. They need to be nice and smooth and well greased up (copper grease). It may just be the pins, although it can also be the piston that's getting stuck. You can strip out the piston and clean it up/replace it but you'll need to replace the rubber seals on it too. Probably less hassle and cheaper just to buy a recon caliper for it mate, that's what I did. But do try the sliding pins first as those are the easiest/cheapest option to fix.

Yeah, the respray is big bucks on its own, but is always worth it
-
Yeah, main thing is take your time with it mate. I got Honda to fit DD's in the end as didnt feel confident fitting it.
-
Looking for tyres for the set of 17's i picked up for the mini. How much did pay for those mate if ypu dont mind me asking? Looking forward to ypu report on how these perform!
-
Thanks mate. More work planned for DD, either front end or whole respray. How long you reckon before the coupe hits the roads?
-
Been a couple of Days series turbos here mate, cracking engines that respond well to boost. Looking forward to following this build!
