Well I thought i would treat myself, ordered it on Friday and spent £200 with my discount on a PI Suspension kit with a 50mm drop.
It got ordered on Monday and it turned up today so well chuffed.

And got it all fitted within the day.









Well happy with the result, i took it out and made sure its all fine and it handles much better, it now doesn't feel like the cars going to roll over when i turn lol.

Im going out tomorrow morning as i have found a decent location to get some decent pictures of the car.

Cheers
Adam

not that bad, my Dad actually helped me in the end lol.
It wasn't too bad, once i had the hang of it- it was easier than i thought it would be.

Sam- not for you no lol, got to sort some things out with them involving the indicators.

love your car mate, the colours work so well together, and what you have done with the morrettes and the eyelids looks a very neat touch

Thanks mate, alot of people said the eyebrows look gash, i did take them off but they car looked wierd without them.
The splitter, mirrors and eyebrows have been repainted in the right green, as the green that was on there before was too dark.

JM 16V- Its not a 1.2 lol, may consider a 60mm drop in the future, but im well chuffed with the 50mm at the moment.

thanks everyone, going out in the morning to get some decent pics.

When people said to I should lower mine i had no plans to, i thought it was to hard to do and my dad was against it.

But tbh, its so much easier than i expected, well worth doing IMO.

fair do's mate, i know there are alot of people on here who don't like the alloys and thats fair enough, i felt i needed to change these alloys to be able to get a feature on here, but i actually like the wheels for now lol.

Might change them in the future, part of me thinks there abit chav.
