is200turbo Is that blue a pearl or xirallic as it looks a slightly different shade in the pic.

Brilliant job though.

Its a pearl blue yeah, think its just the angle difference making it look slightly off colour, its the same colour I used on the bumper and it looks spot on with that.

Most angles the colour looks perfect just seems to angles where the boot lid is now a different angle to the quarters if you know what I mean

Just got myself a bit excited and bought a set of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SPC-Front-Rear...779205531?

Haven't done the 4 wheel alignment yet, but will get these fitted set the final ride height and these should allow me to get everything back into factory spec so I don't destroy my tyres!

Couldn't really afford these, but also cant afford to ruin tyres so seemed daft not to buy them

Haha exactly mate, nothing like justifying a modification I cant really afford by saying it will be cheaper in the long run! :whistling:

Just a quick update as work is still on going on the car, just not had chance to do anything much.

Today was a day I was dreading but it is done and dusted, I have fitted the camber kit from the US!

Didn't take many photos just these of the front adjuster once pressed in place, the kit is fantastic quality and works superb, but its a long hard drawn out process installing it and tinkering to get it setup

So after a full day of undoing and doing things up, putting the car up and down getting all the heights and camber right I am finally happy with the ride height and camber is back in alignment, but my body is killing lol!

All that is required now is to get the car on the 4 wheel aligner to make any final tweaks required to the camber and set the toe if lowering it has thrown that out also. Then I am done on the suspension and steering.

No exciting update I'm afraid, but glad to get it installed and running!

Yeah I probably should have taken more photos, the quality is bob on too, impressed with them.

Just a shame there isn't a UK supplier!
