Was nice and sunny today, went to the Tesco, bought some beer  Looked at the car, and thought that's worthy of a photo (sad I know  ) but hey, I love the pic I took. Desktop material 
What ya reckon? And yes I am expecting "the wheels look shit, but I like them so 
Cheers fellas

@ Will. Decided to go with the stock plastics re-done with autoglym bumper restorer. Not going with painting now.
@ Monster, didn't want to upset the handling with lower springs at the back. It's currently lowered 50mm all round. Although 90mm on the rear looks
@ Scotty, I quite like the clear ones on at the moment and won't be getting some smoked jobs
Cheers for the positive comments

Looks like my standard sport suspension at the back, must be on a slope because that no way looks 50 at back. But i agree as above the front looks

The drive is on a slope (I know this everytime it rains the water runs toward my bloody house  )
I'll find a pic of it "un-lowered"

youre front looks lower than 50 mines 40 at the front and sits a lot higher than that, 70mm springs would look nice on the back and some front coilovers

Was going to go for 90 on the back, but now think that looks too low so 70mm I reckon should sort it

No speed bumps round here, but the ones I do go over scrape the front splitter and the decat 
Still going for 70mm rears though
