Just went for the -30mm H and R springs if i remember right. Its currently on standard shocks and rides really well. Not harsh at all. I like how its sits at the moment but think I will want to go lower soon, so Im thinking about coil overs. All depends on what you want really.

H&R sports surely then? They will probably settle 5-10mm further as I've heard.
Give me a shout if you do decide to go with coilovers in a hurry :innocent:, I'll be looking for some springs soon!

No problem mate, source it on eBay for 150 i think, original part. My girlfriends dad owns his own spray shop so did it for 200 quid. Thats including smoothed and sprayed front grill as well.

So few updates... Firstly de badged the rear, think it looks miles better, not sure why I didn't do it ages ago...



Took a trip to Legend Vehicle Specialist in Gravesend, really nice guys, for a rep ED30 splitter to be sprayed and fitted...







Really happy with how the cars coming along now. Few more things to do on the exterior then I'll be happy. Need to retro fit some front fogs and maybe coil overs some time next year and possibly a change in wheels. But getting there slowly! Any opinions welcome.

Few updates to come shortly, firstly I've changed my wing mirror covers, wrapped black:



To carbon fibre look:



Currently have the interior stripped being hydro dipped in carbon fibre pattern as well:







Will post when the interior is re installed. Also taking a trip to a fellow member to have front fogs retro fitted on Saturday. Will get some more pictures up when thats all finished as well.

Are the wing mirror covers real carbon fiber? Seen some going on the Facebook group, I've been half tempted. Looking forward to seeing the dipped bits.

The they are just carbon skinned, not real c/f. look decent on I think though, got it off the bloke on the Facebook group. Just need to get the door handles on now, need a day where I'm free to come up and can get it all back in. looking forward to having it all back together as it looks decent in the box at the moment  :happy2:

Courtesy of @RetroRaz I now have some front fogs. He don't a wicked job and think these complete the front end. As well as that, i now have the boot pop mod done, US DRLs and a few other bits coded in. Also got some carbon gear installed!
