here you go firestate.

conditon of boot what you think i can do for it? (sorry if pics dont show it to well)

dont know if you can notice, but just above the "i love speedbumps" the laquer over spray on the original paintwork has gone all rough and matted to









and it lowered 90 on the back (need the front lowering a tad )

especially in this pic





cheers, aaron

firstly turps/thinners off some of the paint on thepart behind the numberplate upto the line if possible
give it a little polish
g3 the laquer overspray if possible
p800 over where you painted and extend the paint area to nearer the end of the nubmer plate recess on the left hand side
flick in some paint to blend it and give it some good laquer and gentle polish up the edges
90mm springs look good
makes me want 100mm springs from those pictures

cheers mate, thanks for the advice. will hopefully give it a go, otherwise i will have to try and hide my boot at pvs lol (stand behind it allday haha)

and yea i know what you mean, i may end up going for some cos these springs are my mates and dont know if hes guna sell them to me yet?

but for me its perfect really as i want to space the wheels 10mm for a tad bit of poke and with the 165's i can only get a finger between the tyre and arch lol and my wheels are et38

You need to mask off the whole bottom part of the boot, key it with some very very fine gritt wet and dry and then blow in the colour.. When its dry laquer the whole panel
