Love the work you've done - it's a vast improvement from when you bought it - BUT I'm not sure about the black alloys...

IMO - I do think that about most cars that carry Black Alloys...

Must be old school and to me alloys should look like alloys - In Silver!!  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

they're actually bmw sparkling graphite and the pictures do them no justice whatsoever, they look brilliant in the sun, there's flecks in the paint and they really shine and look all different shades of grey in different light

Looking good mate... Going to try sway the gf toward one... Then i can slam it  :tongue:

they're a b!tch to slam, mine's wound down to the bottom of the coilovers all the way round and it's still about 20mm too high at the back and about 30mm to high at the front, but i don't wanna remove the helper springs and adjustable spring cups cause i drive it daily =/

well i got given a splitter for free that my mate had lying about in his garage so i thought i'd put it on as i'd been toying with the idea of getting one anyway!

after cutting it down i got it to fit perfectly and i'm really pleased with it :D
