Right well i have had the car nearly a months now so its time the coilovers went on, had them for 2 weeks now but was busy last weekend so fitted them today, Had a probelm out back with me being a knob and using the wrong bush but found my mistake and got it sorted.
Needs lowered more at the back so will have to take the plate fully out.
Also fitted a bonnet bra i bought that arrived 2day and last week my private plate went on which i havent had on a car for about 15months now.
Just poped a mile dwn the road to get pics and was getting very dark so not many really.
What you recon so far then? 




And some black and white ones which i like:

Looks ace Greame
Wheels suit it loads, but i'm too keen on the bonnet bra. If it fit perfectly and didn't have the weights, then i think it would look better.

I'd take them off personally. I think Jono did with his, although he might have just taken the weights out.
Any other plans for it? front bumper strips removed would look ace!

Deffo needs go lower on both front and back but otherwise *heart*
dark colours and polished rims go sooo well together

Nice car, wheels need to be anything but silver i think, something dark would go well?
Front wheel camber looks well cocked here

Had you just lowered it from the jack, or is it normally like that?

Bra is to stop stone chips (mainly used in winter or if you drive in the country side alot) I would have prefered to see a rubber one on it if anything, Does fit like a metro fits in at a porsche convention
