If vts springs are 20mm lower I would prefer to put these on and just drop the rear by 20mm as it would probably feel the same to drive as standard. Thanks for the tip! ________________________________________

I thought I would recover my bike from wreckage that is my garage and clean it up. It came up quite well considering it hasn't been touched for over a year. ________________________________________ |

I decided to re respray my sedan as there were some blemishes in the previous paint job that i wasn't happy with so out comes the trusty DA sander!        In primer.    Guide coat.  Wet flatting using masking tape as a guide to keep the character lines straight.   door, boot and bonnet shuts basecoated first for good coverage.  Laquer.      At home.  ________________________________________ |

I want to make this car look factory standard as much as possible and have always liked the yellow fog lights that were standard issue for French cars years ago. I've found that astor grey can look a bit bland from the front with the Chrome lights. Matt Evans' Astor with yellow fogs looks absolutely spot on in my eyes and has inspired me to do the same. It definately adds some colour to the front aspect. I'm very happy with the outcome.      ________________________________________ |

Thanks for the great comments guys! I've hopefully got some crystals coming soon. I bought them from a member on here before the forum change a couple of weeks ago but can't contact the seller (CRSpares) because he hasn't paid for membership yet and has no pm. i dont know what to do about it.  ________________________________________ |

Sadly he has seemed to messed a few memebrs around recently Here's his mobile number from his for sale ad though. "I can also be called or text on 07729137861" Cars looking great but could do with some new plates IMO to freshen it up. |

I've managed to get hold of him now so fingers crossed I will have some much needed crystal action going on. The number plates are going to be changed over for some new ones shortly. I would love some French style pressed ones. I think they would look the dogs bo***cks but I would be worried about being pulled over for them. Perhaps some standard ones for road use and pressed ones for photos and shows. ________________________________________ |

I'm seriously thinking about buying a set of sl434's. Does anyone know if these will rub on the arches and if my 195/55/15 pe2's will fit a 6.75 j wide rim? They are ET08 ________________________________________ |

The rear wheelarches are the same as a hatchback so should be ok if they don't rub on six. Has anyone got any photos of 434's on a 306? I need to be convinced to shell out on a set.________________________________________ |
