stock look body mount chop

Just got my pals in sunny (not) England to do the body mount chop for me. They made a slick job of it and I'm really pleased with the result - they told me they cut down the original lines of the mount, took off the front plate ground the mount back, then put the original front plate back on. 17x9 AR Teflon Chambers arriving at the weekend, not sure if they'll fit before I stick the DR lift on. There is approx 30mm of clearance with stock alloys and 285 Cooper STTs. will let you know and post pics. Stu

True in theory, but in reality, I'd have probably set myself on fire or cut the car in half. I'm ok with a grinder but not with a welder, which says a lot really...
