Not bothering with Carmens, mate of mine said that it was, and I quote, "fuller than a fat girls underpants" lol.

Gonna go Vinyl and then maybe Hunters (it's "Sphere" now by the way - no matter what they do it's still gonna be the seediest club in the Shire!)

Maz Sp20 - Thanks mate.. in person paint work looks good but dont look to close hahahahhaa

Went for a drive down the natio today after putting everything back in the car and abit of interior clean.. have to say the back of the car feels like its on rails..no sliding around either thanks to the Bridgestone RE-001's.. cant wait to get my rear strut brace on there aswell (yes i know over kill but *shoulder shrug* why not) :-D

Rear strut brace isn't over kill at all... Defs worth it!
Car looks
Nice man! Next thing on my shopping list... (after finally installing my bushes, brakes and respray is some coilovers too )

Have any issues with the swaybar touching the subframe?

Also.. Rear swaybar is just a 2point adjustable... Not a great deal
Of difference anyway

Well as some of you know my rear sway bar has been banging around like a crazy fat kid on to much cake.. anyway last night after having a couple of drinks i had an epiphany..

What if i took apart my rear ADJUSTABLE sway bar links and redo it all with more length (rather then having the ends all the way in)... and guess what it WORKED :-D !!!!

Aaron thank you for coming to mod day so i could look under your car to see why mine was so stupid
