this might sound stupid lol but im just thinking out loud here so bear with me.

So going by that they measure from your centre cap to the eyebrow if you wanted your car lower than the legal requirements you could then shave a bit off the eyebrow and then sit it lower so it is then measuring the right measurements??? lol im bored at uni

if they cant get you in regard to center hub to eyebrow, then they will go and look for a part of your car lower than 100mm, if they cant fit a coke can standing up under the lowest part of the car....defect :)

Nah, I remember getting paranoid about my minimum clearance...and a friend told me about the coke can which I had absolutely no chance of going over! So I measured it a while ago :)

100mm at lowest point, mine was exhaust, easily fixed because my hangers were bent wrong when installing the high flow cat hence it was way lower than it should have been.

Thats what he said.. Confirmed twice.

From memory the rear guard is cut lower than the front so possibly the reason for the slightly higher rear.

With stock shocks my rear was ~10mm higher than the front also but I suspect the front had sagged a tad.

I would think his talking about the police that defected wrongly in the first place...

either way, they undid the wrong doings of another cop, in my books that deserves praise. but noone praises the cops when they do good, everyone just shoots them down when they do 'bad', if doing your job is a bad thing.

off topic, your car looks sick in your sig.

just a tip , if an undercover cop pulls you over and doesn't show a badge , ask them to see one , if they decline your at liberty to leave as they have no jurisdiction if they cannot produce a badge

had experience with this tonight with a mate and his car

wonder how it works for me as ive flared my guards, i would expect i have an extra few mm of eyebrow height then stock.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      You do sorta. In my instance they were little specs and I didn't even think they'd be pin holes but it all makes sense now. Huge learnings there!

      Ah ok that makes sense and it's where i think i went wrong because before when i put filler then putty, i didn't have this issue and now i do because i only put 1 coat of putty. Thanks for that heaps man, it's a good way to put it! With my putty I'm using the dolphin glaze which i just saw it says finishing putty lol. I didnt put filler cause it was a shallow area but i see what you're saying. Also I'm an idiot, i just realised that while i put new putty there are pinholes! I probably saw it before and ignored it for whatever reason. I think because i thought putty is used to fill pin holes that itself wont make pinholes but that's incorrect of course. I feel silly now haha. ok I think I know what to do next. Thanks man!

      Yes correct, the guide coat is showing low spots, in this instance the low spots are pin holes. I agree wetting the areas makes it more visible (but you can see it's there before you wet it as well lol).  Once the panel is flat, the guide coat will be gone

      I wouldn't do it outside, the contamination landing in the paint, the wind and a million other things will drive you crazy.     That's a way too big of an area to use your single stage putty on.  Pretend it's all filler and those pin holes appeared, you'd then use the putty on those pin holes.  They are still pin holes, hmm I expect a few coats of high fill primer could deal with those.

      Oh i think i made some progress! Just fixed another simpler dent and the guidecoat is gone even when the area is wet! The filler shape now resembles that of the dent if that makes sense so it's flat. The photos are before during and after The only issue, i think i can feel a low spot lol.
