I really want to lower him... but am worried that it would mess up insurance? Especially seeing as I'm only 18... lol.
 
Other mods...
- Probably get some HID fogs and possibly dipped beam too.
- Maybe get some lil red LEDs on front wheels (Sounds pretty sh*t, but I promise you, they look mental!)
not sure what else yet... hmm, any ideas? :)

Thats what  the edition thirty lights are. They normal rears that are tinted. And as for suspension hurting your insurance i cant see how. If anything by doing a suspension upgrade you are making the car more responsive and improving handling.

thats what I thought... but altering the performance in any way makes to insurance void I believe. I will give them a ring tomorrow probably and see what they have to say :)
