Yep I've finally got round to lowering it!
It has been part of the plan all along, but due to lack of funds in the past etc, I havent been able to.
Finally bagged myself a set of Irmscher -30mm Springs 
Ride is pretty much untouched, just handles better and looks 100% better imo!
Also got better pics of the Seat Ibiza Splitter on, which makes the front of the car sooooo low 
More plans are on the way, just waiting to collate the last few bits

much better, 30mm seems to suit it quite well imo.
i wouldn't worry about a slating, theres no harm in looking after something is there?

Yeh 30mm is deffo low enough - it scrapes enough that its borderline practical as it is

very nice mate, looks so much better lowered! and why would people slate your car for being clean? surely you wouldn't go to a photoshoot with a dirty face or arse? same applies to your car

totally agreed mate!
Slating has stopped recently since a particular member (who has left now) seemed to have a bit of an issue with me lol.
Couple of other pics I've resized that show it from side on and back. Is pretty low imo!

Arrrggh, I've had some 40mm Apex springs sitting in my bedroom for months, but I'm that broke I can't afford to put them on . It's an ultra blue SXi like yours too... seeing those pics makes me want to get my springs on ASAP 
Looks very nice... did you fit them yourself?

plus the post/pic ratio, don't need 17 pics of a car to get the picture imo. Rich leaves no angle untouched. 
Looks loads better lowered btw.

Spoiler at mates being sprayed. Desperately needed 
Wiper will probably disappear in the summer too.
