  1. Nice work, Nick. The tirm could do with a coating like gtechniq. What did you use start to finish (pads polishs wax/sealants ECT)

    yes and no Yes because the DOE is there to test if all the componants are funtion/fitted correctly ECT which they are and IIRC this brand is TUV approved. No It stop Tom or John who have no experience with spanners messing around and making the roads dangerous I love the look of it now, the height is Spot on for my liking..

    Yesterday i noticed the tracking was off on a test drive so I came back and loosened the axel clamps set the centering plates to the smaller setting put the van on the ground then tightened up the bolts and on the next test drive it was almost spot on. I got it tracked today and it was slightly out only and Passed the DOE (Department of the Environment) test as well today The new lows nearly got me a fail because of new in the passed six months. Next year I'll either have to swap back to original or get an engineers report and a cost of E250

    I'm super happy with the setup, not bone braking but sporty.

    Well today was long but worth it, i went very slow and greased all the nut and bolts as i went. I'm not 100% sure about the centering is correct I can fit a fist in the front at the back but at the rear i can't get my fist in the back .... if that makes sense. And also I think the left rear wheel is turned in (toed) Compaired to Any way this is the end result which i am very happy with. @ ScottDuffy the wheels are off an A4 that's all i know, do you like them.

    I got these two weeks ago and these arrived yesterday ^they center the rear wheel in the arches when the back is lowered ^ So today i got to work attaching them but little did I know one 13 mm nut/bolt was going to make my day hell The nut on the shock mount was welded on and it poped off as i loosened the bolt Looking from the top And the problem area, the nut is free to turn and access is zero Any way with some help from my girlfriend we decided to grind the head off as it was the only option after starting at eleven i just finished at nine ................ BUT L@@K the front is complete I just took it for a short spin and the handling is much sharper and more pointy ... NIIICE. Tomorrow i will be tackling the rear, this involves flipping the axel over the leaf spring and attaching new shocks and adjustable shackles. So far I'm happy out.

    Hi everyone .. SUP iiimmmm bbbaaaccckkk a quick update I removed the sign writing as it was peeling I prefer it without the mass of writing now
  17. Some random reflection shots. I sealed the paint with Werkstat Jett which was poly charged before application, Collinite 746s was then applied over that.
  18. The exhaust tip was in need of a polish and clean. It came up nicely. During the machine polishing stage. Left side is the polished paint. The finishing polish we used by machine.
  19. The wheels ware removed to gain access to the wheel arches. After a wash and clean with G101 and wheel cleaner for the brake assembly. Plastic arch liners ware dressed and restored. Next the wheels ware deep cleaned and iron contamination removed. De-taring the wheels. We are now left with a nice clean surface ready to wax. We sealed the rims front and back with Collinite 746s.
