Bloody hell! I'm not parking next to you this weekend :lol:

Actually, on second thoughts I will as it will make for some great comparison pictures. Low vs high, clean vs muddy

Looks great :)
Have you driven it yet? hows the ride on the bags compared to springs?

Yeah drive is solid as hard as coilovers but handles way better than them it's honestly like a train I'm hitting corners harder and faster than I thought I could mostly 3 and 4 gear now into corners instead of 3 and 2 just the management keeping the car as flat as possible its insane really never thought it would drive like it does tbh

All is fine with me and kirstyn dory is stunning still on the outside but her heart is broken

Went through a rather large puddle last night after work she made it about half way through then she stalled engine was dead so phoned recovery asked for them to come pick us up they said 3am ok fine just wanna get home but oh wait they want £98.40 as going through a puddle isn't covered on my recovery. 2am get a phone call sorry we cannot get you weather is too bad sorry your on your own **** you Mr recovery so phoned the police who got a recovery truck out in 40 min he loaded the car and I asked him to dump it at the house as I'm going to sort it yes sir can I have £180 for this service yes ok whatever get me kirstyn and the car home pronto got me home at this point 4am fine went to bed got up at 9 and began removing the spark plugs charging the battery removing water etc etc let her sit till now sparks back in turn over and she started but then the rattling began heavy horrible rattling **** so onto eBay found a 17,756 mile engine ready to rock for £325.40 perfect went too order shut on a Saturday afternoon so I managed to reserve it in the morning so ordering on Monday hopefully have her fitted by Thursday Friday back and running in no time.

Rant over
 
Oh dear, not good at all. However new heart transplant and it'll be fine.

That's also why I take all large puddles carefully and there's a fair few on the roads to my work including one that's more like a loch and has to be drained regularly by the council. It fills the entire road and the only way through it is incredibly slowly unless you're a 4x4 or tractor
 
Not good....

On a side note, i could have done recovery ;)
