Car is at almost std ride height and has hoffmanns Geo just now on Nitron racing 46mm shocks so should be ok for a wee drop?

looks fantastic just like my screen saver

Mark, your screensaver is the Dodge EV not the Lotus Europa.

I wasn't going to mention it was the EV as it looks great in that shot :mrgreen:

Still very much appreciated as not everyone would be aware of what you pointed out and I could have been one of them :thumbsup

Saj, is it Tom Pollock who's running Protek, out of interest?

I do indeed, he was a client of my Dad's for many years (Accountant), and ran some tasty Audis when the original Quattro burst on the scene :-)

I haven't seen him in quite a long time, so he won't remember me so well, but he will def recall my Dad (Donald). Please remember us to him when you see him next!

Saj,

Looks epic and can't wait to see the final result.

Just as a thought - instead of black wheel would a dark graphite grey/antharite colour maybe not work a little bit better? However which ever you choose I am sure it will look great.

Looks great Saj- delighted you told us tho, I would've done a double take next time I'm up the road with the colour/plate combo....

And I'm sure the founding SE member who bought the car new would've approved. :thumbsup

Thanks.

I'm not sure about that combo as I never really thought about it before you mentioned it, quite possibly it could look quite good, but I do know for sure that the black will look good. I might try it if I get another set of wheels in future.
