Thought it was about time I put some pics up in this section.

Body kit is on, new wheels on. Yes it needs lowering but have had problems! After RTTS it will be going in for respray same colour.

Yes I am keeping those blue lights! :laugh:

It would have been lowered by now but due to breaking out the top of the strut, it will have to wait until I buy some Spax adjustables!

len.... its deffo the 'boiler suit' of body kits!! lol..... im sure when its colour coded it will look tons better!!, i kinda like the wheels, but it looks like you need at least a 60mm drop  :laugh: :laugh: so if you havent ordered spax yet, get some coilies instead and wind it down a tad more!! lookin forward to seein it painted....

The boiler suit was done to my taste as well so i'll take that comment as a compliment! :grin:

Got -30mm springs so gonna try those first. Might get a pair of standard struts first (one existing one will be u/s).

Yea there will be some subtle bits in the painting too. There are indents in the side skirts and in the rear at exhaust pipe level and they will stay matt black. Also thinking of leaving the side mouldings matt black.

like the wheels len!  :cool:

Mine is lowered 30mm, which i think isnt low enough, 60 would be about right to be honest!  :wink:
