Already polished I'm mad

Come on David don't let the side down, get the polish out

you must be kidding lol.

Reason I went for Ti was so that I dont need to clean it

im going to get the same for mine eventually is it alot of work

not so much a lot of work, as a lot of cash. your looking at around 1k for a rear subframe assembly and radius arms.

problem doing it yourself is finding someone who can work with Ti. You need the right tooling and a welder who specialises in Ti as it needs welding in a purged environment. This is because it burns in air under heat. A bit like magnesium does.

i found some on a thread ready made will they need welding if so i doubt i will be able to go down that route

ready made what? Ti radius arms?

They can be bought, but you would have to order them. I didnt do any welding.

I designed the outline of the rear arms and subframe, using some ideas already around...... Drew it up and Carl Austin made it for me.
Well actually I also took a cut down subframe and a metro radius arm as reference points for the design too.

Not sure, but Carl might have made some jigs.
