dude! thats sooo wrong on so many levels, you can NEVER be TOOLOW! make sure you drop them down a bit len, your car will look miles better once done, oh and once you see it low and you know you can drop it down more, its like 'yeah that looks good but it could go lower!' lol

look forward to seeing it done mate  :wink:

horney is a pro at this, he did mine in a day  :smiley:

careful if you come back to visit  benson now then mate .

well speed mountain - i cant get on or off unit without scrubbin the splitter  :angry:

When it was in the paintshop last week I had a different colour added to the side skirts and rear bumper.
Gonna have to wait for photos until its sunny as it wont show up else.

Had remap done today, no figures but very pleased with the result! Definitely faster and better response.

Decided to fit coilovers myself, even though I know its going to be a right pain. But I need to do this right and take my time.

Well here's a pic of what I had done but it hasnt turned out the way I wanted!



The indent in the lower bumper has been painted in a dark grey metallic, similarly the side skirts but they show up even less!
The effect has not come out how I expected so I am going to try Matt Black, which is what I was going to have in the first place but decided on full body colour.
It might end up back that colour too! :rolleyes:

I did the coilovers over the weekend. Yes it was a right pain of a job and if I had to do it again I would do it in half the time!

Car looks great! Pics will be put up eventually! When I can get some out of my phone!

As low as Rob's vr6! But I have raised it twice now! About a 10mm gap above the tyres now!
