why has he done this

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

I might be missing something here, but why is that front clip much wider than the body? doesn't look like he widened it? i'm a little lost on that
It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

He has widened it between the light surround and grill, look where the indicators are ;)


That green one would be really nice without those 'things' on the side, I can appreciate the effort that must have gone into them but the end result is far from aesthetically pleasing :yuk:

Neither are my cup of tea. I much prefer the way most of us have done them with sheet steel or the thick rubber. The front end looks ok on the first on. Its where it steps back at the doors the doesn't look right.

The green one isn't *dire* - it's not great, but it's not as bad as the patchwork one, which is totally minging.

Not sure why he's decided he needs wider axles, deep dish rims *AND* a set of spacers - loose the spacers and a set of normal arch extensions would've been enough.

Probably. :lol:
