Have a browse through the photography sections for inspiration.
Also try searching 'progress' in the search bar for progress threads.
Cars are best when they are personalised, look around and find out what you like.

I can offer spraying services for many parts if you want an individual look
De wiper the boot, some plain pressed german font number plates and a bit of de badging the rear makes a huge difference

If you want D90s you will need adaptors mate
If you post up some pics i can do a few chops of it to give you some idea if your not handy with Photoshop.
Tbf, you wont really notice a 30mm drop. Mines touching the floor and i have no problems as a daily driver

Depending on what BBSs you want, they will generally be the more expensive and the more high maintenance set out of the two. They hold their value extremely well though.
D90s need adaptors to fit, and are 16" which can have it's advantages and disadvantages. One advantage being that a mean stance doesn't have to be a stupidly low one. If your not looking to lower it much, maybe these are the better choice.

Nah I love a stupidly low stance!!
If my front bumper wouldn't rip off, amoungst my exhaust, tyres and various other general car related items, my car would scrap chewy gum off the floor
