Just finished a lil project mod this week.

Cai for the skizzy, basicly so the batty boys in blue have 1 less thing to whinge about.

I thought id put up some photos if any one wants some ideas...

Note that this way requires removal of washer bottle. (I didnt give a f**k bowt that but you might)

Made a hinged lid with a locating pin..

Dunno why i did, just made it harder to make, guess its more practical though.

Also made a fibreglass shell inside the box to utilize the hole through the guard. May make a funnel down to the front bumper but again prob not really nesessary. But f**k i hate being a couch potato n this cost me f**kall.

If you make a tight fitting shell like this. Wrap the bay tightly and pack spaces with tin foil. Works really well!

Just FG one layer in the car so you can bend it out once dry.

Cut it in half and strengthen it out of the car so you can remove and install it easy.

If you pack on the FG in one go, in 1 peice, in the bay, it aint coming out!

All in all im pretty happy with this lil $100 tinker, and as i said, 1 less thing for the batty boys to whinge about!

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
