cheers folks

for the pillars - i got sticky back vynil from a shop called Rejects at Â£2.50 a meter

its sittin on FK highsport coilovers and its a guess as to wot the ride height actually is.... i just had to guess the height when i 1st fitted them, then adjust the height from there.
i reckon its between 75-80mm allround, lthough i had it about 10mm higher before some of the last pics, now the anti-roll bar hits the chassis so i either need to do something to modify it or just raise it back up a few mm...?

thanks for any comments anyway!

i like the highsports a lot!! they were designed for road use (so say FK) and i wud have to agree that they are! they give the car a great low look and make the car handle great!
whilst also giving a good comfortable ride quality!

i drove 400 miles to E38 on the Highsports and had no problems at all!

(ps - i dont work for FK

)

There is something about your car that looks just right, can't pinpoint it, maybe the ride height but definately looking good! Thumbs up from me!
