Just had a wash 











What you all think? Lowered 60mm all round on G-Max suspension, personally am really happy wiv it 
Next to do is 16" Alloys, front and rear strut brace, strip the rear out. Then bodywork JC Design Front lip & probably JC Design rear - Steinmetz skirts and a carbon fibre bonnet...
What you all think? any suggestions comments all welcome

Next you should get a GSI spoiler it will make so much difference

looks good mate, but check that its deffo 60mm coz my old 1.2 16v was 60mm on g-max and was alot lower than that on them wheels. lowering was the first thing i did. just check mate that no one has ripped you off. thats more like 40mm g-max.

Langey - my names purple5 - cos i used to have a company called purple5 
To everyone who says it looks 40mm rather than 60mm - i understand what your saying - though to be honest for a start i don't think the pics do it justice, bar the one of the rear wheel in the arch
secondly it was only fitted yesterday after the suspension had sat in my shed for about 3 months - so could it just be needing time to settle in???
thirdly the suspension is off Chillouts car (off here) who said it was a full 60mm gmax kit - reason i bought it 
Anyway cheers for the comments guys, and yeh it will be alot better when it has 16" alloys on - quite difficult to find any second hand tho....
about the gsi spoiler i may not fit one, as i might fit something euro - not decided yet

the ride is alrite though you do feel the bumps more, and u've got to be careful with it, couldn't get off sum1's drive 2day!! its not 2 bad, tho i reckon it will be better when i get my alloys, front and rear strut brace fitted
