Top bloke which made my 600mile round trip that whole load more easy. It was a great base but had many plans to change it as soon as i got home :ph34r:

First thing i did the next day was stip out the interior:

I spent ages sculpting my oem seats from my last car to fit my fine behind and had grown attached to the OEM interior look with flocked items, so:

Then the awesome Project-G fired me over some more things: (yeees my G-Fusers :D )

There was some in-between stuff that went on, some ramp malarkey and a couple of bits i tidied up. This lead to everyone demanding for pics and me being a sneaky bastard and not providing any :(

Got the arches rolled and flared today by Phil from ArchEnemy, Proper awesome guy and this is my third time using his great service:

Major props to those guys! They really know there stuff and let me know exactly what was going on the whole time. They questioned me about what i wanted from the car... camber spec's that i needed to run for the height i'm at, and what compromises i could expect but also exactly what they have done and what i have gained :thumbsup:.

more updates soon. :(
