RA's look awesome dude ! . How low are you btw ? , and are they 155/70/13r's on your standard steels ? I'm trying to gauge how mine will look on standard steels when i lower mine . :)

Cheers bud, 70mm I was told wen I bought it, only thing left on from the previous owner, and yep 155/70s on the standard steels. Can't wait to lower this specially the front.

Some of you may of seen my Instagram but for those that havnt, here's a picture of what my car looked like when the previous owner had it, found on his Instagram...

Not sure what's next for this really, maybe a cage, but I'm trying to avoid keep spending money on it specially with the MOT due July 2013 :/

Beautiful

Took my girlfriend about 2 hours taking all the stickers off and tints.

I might turn it back think its looks pretty cool! Naaaat

His chequered flag stickers marked my paint though :(

you made your girlfriend do it?

lad

Yeah too right she offered so couldn't refuse!

Well I wasn't hungover this Sunday so set about doing something productive - ish

Chopped a coil and a half out the front spring. Why? Because I can I'm cool I fucking hate kittens (don't even get that one) and all round generally am not bothered as it lowered my car all of about 10mm.

Before

After

Wrong angle to tell the difference but it does sit a little better now its settled i have a fingers clearance to the tyre as I'm not going for silly low with this. car is covered in bird shit.

Also I need a new cv boot

And a random one of before we chopped the spring tool everywhere

Depends on tyre size, wheel size kinda means jack.
