The undercar lighting should pick out the gold colour well, particularly if you have the LED type so the colour may be controlled from your cell phone. Perhaps pneumatically adjustable ride height (maybe from the same phone app?) and flared wheel arch extensions next?
:-)

Love ocean mk18's but they're about £1000 before customs fees though unfortunately so I doubt I'll ever get a set.
Are you going to lower it? Looks a bit jacked up at the moment ha get it? I'll stop now haha. |

Sonora finally back on its wheels
It’s a bit low at the back (that’s 40mm lowering on the back and 60mm on the front) The car is now 100% level but I’d rather have a nice down look with the arch gap similar. Started first time after 7 weeks on axle stands (on a battery conditioner) but can’t drive it yet as the wheel arch is actually resting on the rubber on the drivers side rear Adjustable panhard has been fitted but not adjusted yet JJ

Have you tried moving the steering at the front? Perhaps it is just the parallax, but it looks like you may also have clearance problems close to full lock at that end. Do you know what is the offset for the wheels? From memory standard wheels are 20mm; you have 30mm wider tyres but I should think (just looking at the RB) 15mm wider (inside and outside) tyres should still fit the wheel arches as long as the offset for the new wheels is something like 20-30mm. Good fortune, I am genuinely fascinated to see what is the solution for this puzzle. Alan
