Sweet so that should help with tunel clearance for the gearbox as well. And its sitting further foward than your current set up that sounds like what i need.

The lip is for an escort. It fits good mounted high were it is at the moment. I want it two sit lower but then it has some gaps but my painter mate is going to fix that. I have always wanted a black ute so its going black every one tells me to keep the brown lol. The wheels are 15x8s in the front and 15x8.5 in the rear. My panel beater mate has since talked me into putting 25mm spacers on all round and has flared the guards with steel to suit. It now means i will have clearance to run r32 gts-t four pot brakes in the front. I will try and get some pictures of the guards up. He just txt me today saying its all in primer so that's good news.
