Pic needed front left on full lock

Hi guys
Does anyone have a pic shot from a low angle that shows the left front wheel on full lock towards the right? Preferably 15" wheel...
My e21 is a bare shell at the moment and I'm making up a bracket to fit a competition towing eye. I need a good view on the clearance of the wheel to the front part of the inner wing below the bumper bracket.
Many thanks in advance.
Jeroen T.

While someones there can they take a pic of where the control arm connects to the ARB (at full lock) as I'm not entirely sure my mechanic has installed properly - there's a gap between the washer and the bush which I'm sure should be tight?

Reck! from memory the side of the control arm that faces the rear of the car(the side with the 22mm roll bar nut ) is normally tight up to the washer and the otherside which is to the front of the car has a gap between the washer and the arm ...if you split the control arm bush while driving the washer at the front stops the arm moveing all over the place ( this happened to me on both sides at the same time and the steering felt a bit loose to say the least !) ...edd

Ahh makes sense! Cheers
Why'd you put a homemade bush there Murran? Just to tighten things up?
(Sorry for the hijack JTY!)
