yeah wheels are gonna change, but i'll most probably be changing to bigger discs after I stick the 20vt in so figured I may as well wait untill then and get some 16s :)

Body will be staying as it is though I just need to get the skirts and rear painted to match the rest. Gonna get quotes on a bit of welding I need on the sill to floor panels on both sides and a couple of rust patches on the doors, so i'll most probably get it done at the same time

Just need some wonga!

Not a fan of the rear lights or valence and don't like the plates or the wheels, but looks like a very clean car and I'm liking your plans a lot :cool:

I wasn't keen on the rear at first, just wanted the skirts to save messing about with all the original bits that were in a bit of a state, but the idea grew on me more and more :) I'm quite pleased with how it looks now though, I'm not usually a fan of bodykits but I always like to be unique :P

The lights were on there when I got the car, not sure what I'm gonna do with them atm

As for lowering, its already lowered 40mm on Wietec Ultra GT :P wouldnt wanna go any lower as I wouldnt be able to get into the carpark at work lol, and I dont wanna start making it impractical
