Well I finally have my car abck and it's now driving perfectly.

Suspension specialist was happy with all the componentry, but the alignment was way out of whack. 1 degree toe in on rear wheels. Front wheels a total of 6 degrees toe out!!!!! No wonder it drove like crap!

He event setup a slalom course in the court where his workshop is, to road test the car and make sure it was spot on.

Here are the pics of the repaired car, now with body coloured side and bumper strips.

NOTE: Pics are in COLOUR. Car is now montone, just as I'd planned it, so now even in colour photography, it looks like black and white.
