it looks low for 60mm but it could just be the camera angle. mine is dropped 60mm and urs seems lower although mines on 16s whereas urs is on 15s.........not sure if that would make any difference

Hey Dan, yeah will make sure its on level ground! I still cant help feel its lower than 60mm, I may be looking into some 16s in the near future, just got to set my priorities.

we'll compare drops at E38 lol

can we see the dry pics as in your sig Chris? No offence but it looks clearer and a better quality photo.

Needs a polish mate - I'll sling you some Autoglym Ultra Deep Shine at E38 lol

Looks top though, good work.

Thanks for the pics Chris, it does look very good indeed

. Those pics are much better.

It looks pretty clean and shiny to me, although as with a lot of black/darker colour cars, it really shows up the swirl marks (see the pic of your tailgate). The only way to rid these is by a machine polish.

Ok i couldnt help myself, so i polished it...

Get your thumbs up too, Si?

Oh and....Lupo GTi wheels are tempting:

Thanks to max69vk off clup lupo

Gets my thumbs up mate

I plan to clean and polish mine tomorrow, weather permitting. Then again before E38

Cheers

Yeah i do like them, they're going to get added to my list of things for the near future

Remember to shod them with 195/45/15 tyres - 205-section rubber won't fit IIRC

olop_chris · Post by **olop_chris** » Sat Aug 26, 2006 1:46 am

195 all the time

Yeah i mite have lost the paperwork somewhere in the tip of my room, might have a look! Well if i did get an 80mm kit, its staying. lol

Fitted the BMC today...but DONT BUY RIPSPEED AIR FEED (because it does rip)

I guess this ones my fault for tightening it too much at the top?

Sounds sweet though
