thanks mate. RR is a while off yet. I don't have any money left, and just gone back to uni.. which doesn't help my financial situation!!

 

[Brooky]

Battery relocated to boot and massively uprated.

Suspension
60mm drop at the front and 40mm at the rear

tis a mother of a battery

Looks alot more than -40mm at the rear,id say 50 or 60mm
could be the battery tho making her sag tho

 

[activematt]

[fatty]

Awesome little Cinq. Not Sure of the Rear Apron without the front but it sits really well!!

 

[CinqyAbarth]

Nice pics, amazing what you can do with a decent camera and good eye

Though third pic from bottom you still running 13" rear 14" front

i know, it actually looks broom yellow doesn't it

you weren't supposed to pick up on the wheel issue, but yes i've got 14s on the front and 13s on the rear. Reason being when i got the car on the road, i didn't have the rear spacers done in time for the 14's (they were 15mm, needed to be 8mm). Plus two of the 14s had dead tyres on, where as my 13s are still good to go

 

[J333EVO]

Ah, it was only that side on pic that gave it away. Looking forward to seeing it again for real with 14's all round!
