The stance and appearance would look 100 times better lowered a touch but it's your car and if you don't want it fair enough

Any back on topic

Fit a BMC Carbon airbox, we did a before and after on a local rolling road with a Standard Paxo VTS. Before it was 119bhp and after 127bhp! Pretty impressive for just an airbox.

And you can't hear it from inside the car which im sure will suit you

Ecosse ram air needed most definately. Lowering will also aid handling greatly, as will strut brace

For some reason he's against lowering it... maybe its "chav" or something

Here's the BMC I was on about fitted



With a "chav" strutbrace

I know its not a 106 but its practically the same car...

This is my mates VTS on its "stilts" standard suspension and standard wheels... pretty tractor like wouldn't you agree. Just like yours



And heres the same car with "just" a nice set of wheels and some Yellow Bilstein suspension.



How much better does that look!!! And the handling and grip is massively improved.

Won't mention it again, just came across these pics whilst looking for the BMC pic so I thought i'd post them and make the thread a bit more interesting

Thats fair enough didn't realise you had already owned one lowered.

Yes I was quite impressed with the Airbox. There standard fit on most Ferrari's apparently.

Heres one which a mate fitted to his Leon Cupra R last weekend





He hasn't plumbed in the cold air pipe yet though, the pipe in the first pic was for his old K&N.

Yes it is!

Because they look Sooooo much better lowered. That pic you've taken is at a very high angle so it doesn't really show just how high it is.

See below

Very High (very g@y lol)


Nicely Lowered (very smart! and not a Chav in site. haha)

Why am I not surprised.
