more lows as kc said :P and get the notch filled in, in the grill otherwise i prefer the standard grille with black badge. maybe a subtle OEM bodykit ? from the gti, votex or bluemotion kits? depends what your price range is though buddy

Believe it or not its actually lowered currently but only by 35mm APEX. I realize now that I should have gone for coilovers :P
I think I may go for the stubby aeiral, give it the bmw 3 series look :P
I have the old grill, can i simply just paint over it? (i,e, paint it the same colour as the car? or just stick to black?)
Thanks

Yeah, I did purchase them on ebay back in November, however they responded and said they wont be in stock until February which is now :/ However I way prefer these 8000k HID. I think that the Dayline lights may have looked a bit taccy and they were expensive any how.

I am also in the process of painting the grill and the rear badge the same colour as the car. Any tips on how to get the rear badge off?

Thanks
Dan.

Just get a heat gun, or a hair dryer on it mate its stuck onto the back via glue, so heat it up for a while then get a credit card between the rear and the badge and it should just lift off, just heat the glue up first and it make sit easier on you and your bodywork.
