Mmmm Charlestons, I like.

Maybe a slight drop would be good but it doesn't sit that high really. Some spacers on the back would square up the looks a bit and the Votex rear lower bumper always looks good on a 140 as the pipes are hidden.

Spacers hhmm never thought about that one thanks.
Yeah the votex bumperwas what i was thinking but trying to get hold of one for a decent price is being bit of a nightmare.
Drop wise are there any companys that do a 15-20mm drop as that is all id be thinking of doing.

dunno if i would drop it too hard, just gently and then add some skirts to get the bodywork a little lower, changing the rear to match  :innocent:

nice ride, nice rims  :happy2:

Bit of an update after owning the car for just over 12months ive really enjoyed it but the Diesel engine has always left me feeling let down, not that there is anything wrong with it as its a cracking engine especially after the REVO remap but i miss the sound and feel of a turbocharged petrol so after a impulse buy last week i thought id post some pics up of my car before its gone.
I havent done anything major to it but i think the overall look of the car has changed with the few subtle mods.

How it spent all winter


Then after a quick clean on sunday i am really surprised at how well the collinite 476 has lasted.






Thanks for looking
Ben
