jason, jason, jason, if you want to improve the look of your car, firstly ditch those alloys an fit some proper fourleafclover sport wheels, (they are turning up on ebay quite a bit now).secondly, fit super bumpers an side cladding, then you will have a beautiful looking car.

 if you still insist on vandalisum, i do have springs but they are all in a pile, i cannot tell right/left/front or rear.

Finally got round to it a massive 65mm lowered ..
 Shocked Shocked

 looks so cool now  Cool Cool





none of the argenta type wafting anymore  , abit choppy but tolerable and handles great now round the corners  Wink

may be a bit less relaxing on the continetal trips , but nurbergring would be so good  or even spa 2016 ?
