H&R Springs for a 35mm drop :happy2:
-
looking really good :happy2:
grey 5 door ftw :rolleye:
-
looks good steve whats the ride like with the 35mm drop as its something i have been contemplating
with all this wrapping going on at the moment could you not get a wrap or peice of wrap made to look like a licensce plate to save mounting anything on the osir one?

Looking good Steve :happy2:
Carbon fibre FTW :jumping:

Ride is no different in terms of comfort, in some ways it's better. The general handling has improved much more than I thought it would too. :driver:
For the plate I am going to run one as small a legally possible as with my milage as I go in to the London congestion charging zone a couple of times a week, with anything else I would be getting too much attention from the boys in blue.

SUPERB! :party: :happy2:
need to borrow that lowering stick at some point, your car looks much more aggressive now :evilgrin:
as for the numberplate, i too would keep it off, you need to speak to pomme on here for the answer :innocent:
-
Looks gorgeous PG :drool:
Is the mask fitted now or is it temp. :smiley:

It's fixed for good, it fits pretty well but like some others I have seen the top sits a little proud :smiley:
-
Looking good, just the right amount of drop. :happy2:
-
stance is great and lovin the grill :happy2:
-
Looking good, I think I might get some of those H&R springs, will save a fortune on coilovers!

....Yes, but it's not exactly secure!! You could nick that quicker than you can say "numberplate".

....Mine's not screwed. The linky I posted as a suggestion isn't a screw fixing method.

....It'll take more than that to bore us! We look forward to it, especially as there will doubtless be new mods on the market by then.
:happy2: :drinking:
-
Looks mighty fine steve, Cant wait to get my alloys re coloured aswell.
-
Lovely! :happy2:
-
Goes to show you don't need to pump out £500+ on coilovers to get a great stance. I'm just getting springs when I come to lower mine :happy2:
-
looks spot-on that Steve, is it me or is it a little lower at the back.
been thinkin about some H&R springs and ARB's for mine :happy2:
-
looks superb steve :happy2:
put the plate in your window, then nobody can rob it without smashing your window first :grin: :grin:
-
Top Notch :smiley: :smiley:
Looks brill - just the right amount too :happy2:
-
Looks completely different now it has been slammed, miles better :drool: :drool: :drool:

It does look that way but It's still settling a little and my drive way is a bit wonky :laugh: :laugh:
On a flat road it's not noticeable :happy2:
-
nice 1, I saw an S3 with them on and that was slightly lower at the back which put me off a little, but I've seen 2 since that sat level.
How much for the springs and fitting if you don't mind me askin pal
-
You have a PM :happy2:

....True - If it's show rather than go that you are more interested in.

Looks great Steve! :happy2:
Can't wait to get mine on! :jumpmove:

^^^ Neither can the Mrs PG as there is a big OSIR box in the middle of my hallway :signLOL: :signLOL:
