I think the comments on lack of encouragement are a bit ott to be honest.

I just read that, and all I can say is "WTF?". The only thing worse than a project thread without pics, is a project thread that is totally chuffing disrupted by Off-topic banter or endless irrelevant congratulatory posts (and now you can my post to that list!). Too much of that crap and you've lost my attention.

Now get pics up

On topic - what's involved in changing the ARB rings and do they have anything to do with the traction control? I've a V70 so I know there may not be an exact comparison but thought I better ask something sensible to contribute

When I am in doubt about whether anyone cares about my project thread(s), I just take a look at this guy's thread....

Started in 2007 & still going strong, usually with very few replies. For me a project thread is just for your own records. I don't expect to see 'nice', 'mmm', 'great', etc on anything I post.

//edit

I meant 'after EVERYTHING I post'

ah you know what I mean. I likes a bit of off topic banter also. Keeps us interested - we aren't robots speaking about technical specs all the time

Well picked up some much needed body panels up in matching paint code today and in surprisingly good condition and at a fair price very happy
I picked up both front wings drivers door drivers rear door and tailgate all complete and dent free for the small fee of £150 tailgate even came with the spoiler result!!!
Hopefully the weather will ease off tomorrow so I can make a start on fitting them and I will try to get some pics taken and uploaded of how I get on
