just a few pics, only done a few bits to it as losing interest as the months go on and had an expensive engine repair bill 
if i get this new job then i am in two states of mind, whether to modify this further or buy a fiesta st so not sure what to do lol.
opinions/recommendations are greatly appreciated. sarcasm/twats/arseholes who just spam shit are not

i used to love how it sits but getting the urge to lower it an extra 20mm but would need some arch work done then so don't see the point when i don't know whether i am going to keep it for much longer.

Some Depo headlights and MHW's rears, and that's be extremely stealthy.

when you can aford it why not do a simple x16xe conversion, i got mine done for about 700, and then jr gave me some goodies, i went from 60bhp on friday to 120 to days later well worth it imo...made me keep mine for a bit longer

i prefer the standard tail lights on black b's, ben the arch work is not hard...from experience.would be worth doin as it would look  down to the ground a bit more

yeah it looks quite sexy when i have a full car, rubs on the arches terrible though, might look into it in the next month or two. all dependant on money issues
it'll get there though

depends how the light hits it mate. front's are illegal already at 50% from certain angles e.g. looking from the front of the car at the side, you can't see anything through them.
wish i had gone lighter on the backs but don't mind the privacy
mirrors are on as i lost my standard ones

at the time i lowered it 40mm i had no clue how to go about wheel arch modding (wheels are et 35) so decided 40mm down looks better than standard ride height
will definitely look at going lower though as it completely changed the look of any car IMHO.
