What are those? 17's?

You did it the wrong way round :lol: You should lower, then put wheels on. It stops you looking daft in the meantime.

Nice paint job btw. Are you going to tie in other trim pieces with the same colour?

17" BK wheels, there only on because I needed new tyres and my mum was moaning about them beingin the summer house :lol: I'll be lowering it in the next month or so .......

Any recomendations on what springs/ coilovers to use?

I'll also be fitting my phase 2 sport bumpers & decals before Trax in September!

Sounds good. If you are going for just springs then Eibach Pro-Kit is your best bet by far. They only lower around 30mm though and this may not be enough for what you want.

Personally I wouldn't go straight for coilovers if you don't plan on slamming it. A nice suspension kit would give you a great result in looks and handling. They are also alot more straight forward to fit and setup.

Looking nice M055Y, you need to paint your brake calipers to match also ;)

did you get your shark fin off flea bay? Ive seen em on there but not sure of the sound quality.

Looking forward to the pics of it lowered and bumpers on!

Cheers mate, the plan is to get some brembo caliper covers and get them sprayed up in the green.

Yeah I bought the shark fin off ebay but has asked to bodyshop to keep the standard aerial on inside as suggested on here, the fins just for looks :lol:
