cheers for the comments guys :D i'm more than pleased the way they look on the car....

@Ollie they are 7X14 so i'm going to get some decent streched rubber, probably bridgestones again.

@Tim, settled for 165/50/15 bridgestones

Don't worry decent pics will be up tommorrow after the Dubclique meet hopefully it's just as sunny as it was today 8)

Right guys, here's a couple of half decent ones with the bonnet open :roll:

Suggestions would be welcome, thinking of dropping it a bit more at the back possibly and 10mm spacers for the front. Oh and btw the ground was uneven which made the back look like 4x4 ride height :roll:

Will get some better pics tommorrow and update you with them, since i'm not really happy with these :?

Other than saying i'm a retard for leaving the bonnet open, any other comments? :roll: :lol:

That looks sweet! I'd recommend taking the number plate holders off and sticking it back into the original position, that would just finish it off.

Ain't you glad you saw my cars old pics? :lol: HOWEVER, you've just totally made me :cry: cos they look stunning on your motor which makes me want to kick myself.

Anyway, think you should drop it slightly more if driving convenience is still good. Just make sure you look after it lol cos I did exactly the same thing and punched a pavement, which cracked the fibreglass out the bumper :cry: cos the car was tooooo low. What made me really angry though it was 2days after purchasing the car.

Anyway, keep us updated mate, nice work :wink:

yup definately going to lower the back this weekend although i did have scrubbing issues with people in the back, since the inside lip has started to bend out wards from the tyre hitting it and catching it on the way down, might get my arches rolled to stop that from happening, not to sure about the front since i will have to get tracking done again

thanks for the comments though everyone :D

just need to get insurance sorted which is a bit of a pain :?

looking really good haris. are them alloys 16"?

if your change the back ride height does that affect camber caster, or is that only at the front

also i think the bonnet bra looks really good on your car 8)

@ Tnez - stubby mirror you can get from ebay.de most of the sellers on there are pretty good with english and don't mind sending it. Although i got my uncle to send me one since he lives there :wink:

@ Adam - Nope 15"s mate, i don't think nothing happens about the back since it's just a beam, and therefore camber cannot be changed it just occurs from lowering. Back can be lowered without doing the tracking etc. again But the front will need to be done again which is why i am still contemplating whether to lower it more or not.

Thanks for the comments guys :D
