with all this wrapping going on at the moment could you not get a wrap or peice of wrap made to look like a licensce plate to save mounting anything on the osir one?

Ride is no different in terms of comfort, in some ways it's better. The general handling has improved much more than I thought it would too.  :driver:

For the plate I am going to run one as small a legally possible as with my milage as I go in to the London congestion charging zone a couple of times a week, with anything else I would be getting too much attention from the boys in blue.

Goes to show you don't need to pump out £500+ on coilovers to get a great stance.  I'm just getting springs when I come to lower mine  :happy2:

It does look that way but It's still settling a little and my drive way is a bit wonky  :laugh: :laugh:

On a flat road it's not noticeable  :happy2:

nice 1, I saw an S3 with them on and that was slightly lower at the back which put me off a little, but I've seen 2 since that sat level.

How much for the springs and fitting if you don't mind me askin pal
