Rob_Mitchell Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 good man dave, glad you like it. when you want to collect her?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davej705 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 That looks tough, change those front lights to facelift. Another to be on my favoirite list now I do like facelift fronts but not sure what I'm going go to yet. Ive never liked a front bumper other than the stock one but thats the first bumper thats made me think twice about changing the stock one! Excellent work guys That was my thinking aswell,did consider fitting a splitter to the stock bumper then saw this was like stock on a steroids and that was that. Going to get some ridox side skirts and that'll be it for bodywork. Will be back to rob in the spring for a full engine bay spray job before the build.

davej705 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Don't think I'm going to put a number plate on the front,it will mess up the clean look.the OB round my way are ok. That bottom picture shows how wide the back really looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to getting the car back and fitting new suspension and big brakes now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 Cheers,very happy with the look of it now.needs lowering a bit which I'll get done real soon. the front wont lower no more lol its mega low already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davej705 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 the front wont lower no more lol its mega low already 20mm? And 10mm at the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 20mm? And 10mm at the back I suspect Rob is refering to how close the bumper is to the ground, Thats the trouble with aftermarket front bumpers, if you want the tyres to arch gap to look right the bumper is to close to the floor, looks good all the same.

How much is yours lowered? Did lowering improve handling In your opinion? Looking at the pics I think 20mm drop at the front will be fine as long as I avoid speedbumps,which I don't mind.

JamieP Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Im not sure, with the CW kit it was very low, id suspect about 50-60mm lower than stock, now its maybe 40mm id guess, with regards to handling its hard to say, its always felt pretty good to me no matter what ive done, i mainly drive on the street though so dont push it that hard in the bends.

davej705 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 My driving will be similar,doubt I'll be doing any track days especially with my twin screamer pipes it'll be too loud anyway.a little lower and some 18's should be fine for me.
