Finished lowering the headlamp and gauges. For now I drilled the rivets and flipped the factory headlamp and gauge brackets. I will probably end up going a bit lower later. although they look better than what I had I'm not loving the clubmans, the center section of the ones I have prevent me from rolling them up to the angle I want them at so I'm going to switch out to clip-ons or drag bars in a week or so.
