Had a few changes to the car recently, i painted it a few weeks back now but still havent had time to flat and polish it yet which is why it isnt so glass like at the mo.
Also changed the wheels to ATS classics all round that are 13 x 8`s. Had it really low at first but was taking out cats eye in the road and hitting most bumps so raised it, will be goin back down though when i sort the exhaust out as the 4-2-1 item sits really low.
Also finally got my exhaust through from a group buy on ed38 that took about 6 weeks to get:
When i first lowered it:
raised up quite alot on front for the time being but will be goin back down: 
Also put my arch trims on that i organised to be made by mike at www.performance-trim.co.uk which he now produces along with alot of other carbon stuff *plug* :
What you recon then?

I dont know though, it looked a bit funny at first, looks like a go kart now Ive looked at it alot ...
I think its like modern art, it hs to be thoroughly examined to make sense

its an omp one, the fit is really good and it sits up into the car so it wont hit, its the manifold that gives me issues. gona be getting one that isnt as low.

think the reason it looks high in the pics that puts people off, just need to find a standard exhaust then it will be rigt back down and looking alot better.
its not to bad tbh as now the exhaust manifold has flatened off now so doesnt catch on alot. Havent tried speed bumps yet though
