Thanks lads!

The car originally had colour-coded arches when i first bought it while it was silver and I had thought of spraying these ones. However I decided I wanted the car to look more original now, hence I got new arches!

Currently on koni adjustable shocks with Jamex 40mm springs! Back is down but not nearly as much as the front! Might change the springs when I get a little more money to a set of Spax's!

Rover's!
If you where going to do it different engine, slam one of the newer tubo derve motors in it, big mpg, and huge amounts of usable everyday power.

Would love a rallye front end but its big £££ for one these days!

Would love an 1.8t engine too, and have heard of one for sale but really can't afford it! Some day when I have money would love to do it! 8)

Will have to wait till I see the car to make my mind up on the colour, I thought the Silver was amazing...

I liked the silver also but just wanted something a little different!

Thanks lad. Yeah I have big bumpers and its lowered approx. 40mm on Jamex springs and Koni adjustable shocks. The wheels are 17's and I wouldn't say the arches are rolled, just slightly adjusted to allow more clearance! Yeah the front arches are g60's!
