Ok. So lowering happened
[attachment=15701]
[attachment=15702]
[attachment=15703]
Rear is too low really, but no going back now unless I either a) change the axle, or b) try some of the caravan spring raisers!
Front is wound all way down on the 206 coilovers, tempted to take the helper springs out and make a sump guard out of the old bonnet.
I say old bonnet as last week at speed, the bonnet opened. And speed I mean in excess of motorway limit. Luckily the £1.20 roof rack took the impact and saved the roof/windscreen.
A bit of searching later and £20 got me a new 'used' bonnet in beige. Which I then sprayed using wilko's rattle can red.

Then fixed

literally just lol'd a lot!
That's a proper job with that bonnet spraying/colour match and also the fact the roof rack took the hit from the bonnet Top job!
I love how older cars aren't made for these speeds at all! a very similar thing happend to the 205
