[rd070707]

Side on pics? Looks awesome!

[Birk]

When you lowering it then?

[Niall]

Does look good that!! Shame about the amount of doors

[Piggy]

side on?!

[aaron_one]

5 doors more whores... Yo.

[Slam Wagon]

Looking damn good.

[cwspellowe]

They look like minilite reps to me?

[rd070707]

Yeah minilite reps with 185's on front and 195 on the back. Il get a side on up.

Badly scrubbing already so need to roll these rear arches tomorrow lol.

Any advice? I can't get hold of the roller

[cwspellowe]

bfh, dont be a girl about your paint

[rd070707]

I'd like to keep my paint thank you very much lol

so any tips? a bit has chipped on the underside of the arch. Should I use some hammerite?

[cwspellowe]

if its chipped theres no way to fix it, so just get the hammers out and be done with it

[rd070707]

But will it not rust?

I can get hold of a roller and heat gun Sunday but I'm for a cruise Sunday and need the car down.

Steel bar?

[aaron_one]

Just pull the lip out a bit, I did it on my 106 with banded steels and it gave it the clearance, doesn't damage paint

[Piggy]

be careful though if its chippng already...I gave mine a tug when i had some stupid 17s on that were scrubbing and the whole edge of paint flaked off!

[rd070707]

I will try and bodge something tomorrow lol. The Coilovers are now right down with helpers in.

Have a bad grinding kinda noise from front left, probably wheel bearing?

When you lowering it then?

It is lowered mate lol might go lower when I get a new beam

[Rich306]

Not keen on them fella sorry ah well, as long as you like them!!

[rd070707]

What you not like? The paint is anthracite but kinda has a purply tint to it which I didn't expect

[Birk]

Its only paint, get some mates in the back and get a crack bar out to flare the arches, YouTube it, worked for most of my cars, but I had 9s on lol

[rd070707]

Yeah I saw that, might give it a bash. So did you just accept having paintless arches then? lol

[Rich306]

What you not like? The paint is anthracite but kinda has a purply tint to it which I didn't expect

I've never liked Deep dish 'wide' alloys on a 306, personally don't think they suit. lol

[Birk]

Well on the estate it never mattered because I painted it, and I never cared on any other car, I mean come on... These cars are worth about £500, just slam it and flare those bad boys.

[rd070707]

I want the back down another 20mm or so so will def need alot of rolling and flare

[ozonehostile]

i love how minilight reps are becoming more popular, its about time lol

[puglove]

Looks good bro, lower & wider arches is a must though

[rd070707]

Thanks mate, I've rolled the arches and it clears at that height now. I plan to flare them a bit and get it a bit lower though. But as it is currently the arch basically sits on the tyre with people in the back. Thicker torsion bars would be handy lol
