Andy, I too used to hate the flaps, but they just tidy the car up a little and as the front wheels stick out a litle further than the std, poo gets flung all over the sides and will also keep stones at bay too.
I must confess that as im so far behind time on this the front isnt getting bufty`d as thats going to be a winter project, so as much as it pains me to do so, rust bolts are going back into the wheel arch liers/struts and arb mounts

all the coilovers are on today, brakes wont fit due to the disc being a fraction too thick, exhaust is off for a polish so in the meantime i carried on painting the underside and coating the rear brake caliper/mounts.
