Looks well, love the magnets!! Some nipper will 'ave em though! Cant beat a slower motor though some times, i started with a 1litre Yaris and id happily buy another one, so much fun fleecing them everywhere! Would say though mate wouldnt spend too much on bodywork etc, wee motor like that is perfect for learning skills :D

Bradford is also great, got my first lapdance there, goooood times!!

not low enough to justify the magnets.

angle grinder ?

not safe, dont cut them mate you will look like a chav! (or a violent heavily modified car owner if you want to be pc)

honestly bud i dont think 40/40 will be enough i reckon it will need at least 60/60 maybe more

yeah I'm in two minds whether i should go lower or not. the roads up here are pathetic, apart from the vast amount of speedbumps, the roads are laced with some very scary potholes. since i got the classics with the skinny tyres I've had to have the exhaust refitted courtesy of the speedbumps,, thats on standard suspension.

anyway the plan is 50/40 on a philj kit with lowering top cap things. but i think the rears can be dropped down to 60??

I've got some new goodies too including some smoked front lights so i shall get a pic up tomorrow

thanks for the comments guys!!

I'm liking it, and the lights do look good against the blue paint.

I'm hoping to get one just like that if I can get one for the right money, although I think i'd prefer a set of BBS RA's off a G40.

reckon it will look 10 times better after lowering, when you getting it done?
