well my cinq has made the journy south 2 southampton where it will be its new home 4 a bit , anyway created a few probs 4 myself over easter :I i decided to check and c if my bumpstops were cut when it was lowered suprisingly they weren't so me and my m8 sorted that, now when some1's in the back the wheel arch catches the tyre when cornering and goin down bumpy roads B) so i took the rear spacers off and the wheels catch on the inside of the arch this has resulted in some rather nice grooves in the tyre side walls im guessing getting the arches rolled would sort this.

Also while in the pub carpark friday nite i managed the do a very nice job at cripling my cars exhaust on a rather big log |) exhaust guy said i had done a gd job on it, they managed to bend it back as best they cud but i think a new exhaust is needed where can i order a magnex from?.

Oyeah i also managed the flatten a phesent(spelling?) 2 so friday was a rather sucessful day 4 the cinq.

yike - what about all those nice little spot welds that hold the outside of the car to the inside - they'll all be cut off!

woops better check my sons nova aint fell to bits then, i rolled one side but he kept giving me grief to hurry up because he wanted to use the car for the first time, so i just ground the other side off, didn't look like it was 2 bits of metal there.

Put the spacers back on, and grind away the lip underneath the outer part of the arch (the bit that's touching the tyre sidewall). I've had to do this when my cinq got 185/60/13's (thanks marcus) and it's lowered approx 30-35mm.

Make sure you seal the edges with some paint and laquer after grinding otherwise you'll get a nice bit of rust[xx(]

will fall apart if you grind the back of the arches (where the passengers sit) lol

 

[dave]

no i did what you said, i thought rolling was cutting little slits in that bit and folding them over, i did that to one side, but ground the other only a few mill needed. i sealed both after.
