Exactly as LUXJET said, park up a hill on a slight angle but not all the way up and you get the lowered effect. I've put the calais front on and started on the electric windows but cant work out the rear I've checked out the technical articles and I followed their instructions but it seems to fall off the little wheels And one of inside my boot And my new tail lights which will be Director'ed, got them brand new off ebay. TYC Brand Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Went through some photos and found some awesome ones of my car in its prime. This was Feb 1995 When it was hit by a truck 24-7-1995 (The original formula badge off the wing is sitting somewhere inside my house, location unknown) Some from when it was stolen, and found dumped in Jamberoo. (Someone ,must have been desparate, and stole the white CSA 14's) Here's the latest pics. Chrome door handles and chrome strips around the car. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
