Ditch the OE steering wheel if you don't plan too already, looks class that to be fair, love the colour, wouldn't try getting over any speed bumps when its slammed to the max though!

Cheers for all the comments ppl, now to answer 
Sidesport, we will be in section A of the south halls.
Red, the car will be undrivable at that height, we would raise the car to a suitable ride height before we set off.
M2RV, the reason why its looking like it is at the moment is cos we are on the most unlevel floor you'll come accross that was supposed to be level it will look 100x better on level ground.
Boyracer, it was an absolute shit to do, required a hell of a lot of welding and pissing about and getting stuff custom made. I suggest if you do get hydro's speak to Rayvern Hydraulic's 
Kerry, its fluid dispersion hydraulics. All four suspension struts are replaced with rams, and new coils are put in the boot. When you activate the lift, the oil gets pushed into the rams and extends them. While you are driving if you hit a bump then oil is pushed out of the ram and into the coil setup in the boot to act as the damping. To drop the car you just open the dump valve, and the oil pushes out of the rams + coils and back into the pump
Andy, the kit cost around £1350 in total, but we must have spent a good £600 getting it all done.
Evisu, grrr lol they are the standard mirrors touched by fibreglassing hands

Quite impressed - you've gone well beyond the typical "fit a bodykit" you find with most car modding
