Cheers Guys!

 

Veearrhsix- I've had to space out the back to clear my coilovers! Once I get the arches rolled, it will get spaced out a bit more and dropped further 8)

Well I got Married on the 30th of August to my beautiful wife Emily! Used the Corrado as the wedding car :) Here are some pics of the day! It took me ages to clean it but it's come out really well in the pics I think!

 

Emily suggested using it which made me smile! Not included a load of wedding snaps as I doubt you'd all want to see them :)

 

I think the number plate is quite good though........didn't notice till my best man pointed it out!

Awesome car, it looks really special in those pics i can imagine it getting alot of attention!

 

I have got the same wheels (LM reps?) and am wondering what suspension you are running on the car? The drop looks perfect!

I am running standard suspension at the moment (read 4x4) so am in desperate need or advice!!

 

Cheers.

Congratulations. Hope everything went smoothly. Looks like you got good weather.

 

Car looks absolutely stunning and makes an interesting wedding car. I like it.

 

I can't work out what the number plate means, any clue?
