Finally sorted out the rubbing arches....

[Mambo]

Sorry for the pic quality, left the camera in London so these crappy pics off my phone will have to do until I get back. Sorted out the problems with the rubbing arches and also swaped out the front spring pads for #3's (the #2's were TOO low!). Just been washed and Zymol'd

EDIT: New pics complete with brake dust (too damn cold to wash the car this morning!)

nice one mambo, finally hey! did elite help out with the arches?

 

[Mambo]

Nah, not Elite, they don't do arches! Found a friendly body shop in Creekmouth who sorted it out for £30.....

 

[Alps]

Nice one Alps, and thanks for the advice!

SO did you have the arches rolled? Did it damage the paint in any way?

The car looks great!

Arches are 'ready rolled' from the factory, it was the little bits at the end that were rubbing along with the bumper. The metal was bent inwards and the bumper was sanded down slightly, cant tell unless you know its been done.......

.....also swaped out the front spring pads for #3's (the #2's were TOO low!).

I presume swapping the spring pads meant dropping the springs (ie you need a spring compressor)?

Roughly how much are the spring pads (I like to be armed before calling the dealer)?

Spring pads are about £3 each (yes £3!). In order to change them the springs need to come out, but I left this to the garage to sort out!
