    Cheers guys!

    Haven't updated this in a while. So I've sold the car now, but before it was sold last year, I made a few tweaks and got it near enough sitting exactly how I'd always wanted it. Some pics:












    So yeah, then ended up selling the car, but did keep the wheels!

    The new car:

    this thing is saweeet maybe like a degree or two of camber in the front and 5mm spacers, it would set this thing off!!

    Ideally I wouldn't mind it a tad lower, but roads here are really bad

    Thanks fella


    Haven't updated in ages, but the car has gone through loads! lol

    Last pic of the bora in it's previous state, after winning a top 20 award at GTI fest


    Sold my BBS and ran like this for a couple of months



    Split the Monza's down, re-polished the dishes, got the centres blasted and got some gold bolts. Had to see how they;d look


    Stripped the interior and roof lining, roof lining was then trimmed in faux suede and got myself some full leather heated Recaros



    Retrimmed the armrest to match


    Changed my subframe


    Car got stripped and went into the bodyshop to be sprayed up


    Stripped the headlights down to twindicate them, and get rid of the joey'd reflector....haven't seen this done elsewhere before so thought it'd be cool!



    Got the centres painted BMW Mineral White, and built them back together, staggered the rears too



    Started putting it all together


    Then flatted the whole car down with 1200/1500/2000 and polished up to get rid of the orange peel



    Custom made aluminium adapters


    Then lowered some more, and the finished product:









    and that's it for now. Not happy with how the rear sits, going to get the adapters milled down 4mm, then can take it a little lower and straighten the rear arches up again from all the flaring

    And don;t have any interior shots, will get some soon

    Thanks for looking, and sorry for all the pics
