Hi PoLony, watch out for those leaves on your drive!
That is seriously low....and lovely.
We'd never get away with it here, first speed bump would have the floorpan 'modified' in a bad, bad way.

Holy sh1t, PoLonY!

It's not possible to get any lower, other than converting it into a sledge!

You'll need to modify the tops of the front wings to look like an old Corvette, so the tyres can fit in, if you lower it any more!

Fitted the uprated struts into the boot lid, so it doesn't slam shut with the extra weight of the spoiler fitted to it.
Thanks Gatos, they work perfectly, even though they have a bit of cosmetic corrosion.
Not to worry, they will be sorted out very soon - if I remember!

Need to vac' out the interior and give it a wash - dust blowing up from the road when lorries pass at work. Might park elsewhere and walk a bit, from now on.

Replaced the capacitor on the heater blower to get it working again. Last week I replaced the O2 sensor. Tomorrow morning was going to be discs and pads but I'm having a lie in instead.
