My car has taken a slight transformation to when it had 3 wrecked vtr wheels and one steelie, it also had some of those lexus lights things ;) not to mention the tired vtr engine.

So here's a quick pic of when I got it and how it looks now alot of the changes you cant see but I didn't want to post a thousand different pics so I just stuck with the......

Before:

and

After:

Not sure how long it'll stay like this but its all good fun.

I'm sure some of you have far more obvious transformations than me?

I dont know what it is in MM as I made the wise decision to buy coilovers which have given me nothing but trouble.

Lower it and put standard mirrors on it.

As dan says, i think the standard mirrors and lowering would set it off perfectly mate

Looks nice colour coded but it does need lowering.. the car is really being let down by the fact it sits higher than the pope.

imo the smiley grills look better but top job just drop it on its arse and you will be sorted

The only mirrors I'd be changing them for would be the rally slag ones but I'm sure they'll be equally as popular, I'm having a nightmare with the lowering as previously mentioned :(.

The grill is going no where and will look lovely sitting next to the angel eyes when they arrive.

Yeah I'm with you and I had Eibachs but sold them before fitting them as I thought the coilovers were a better option, kind of regretting that now but I have new plan to get the wheels closer to the arches.

only bad thing about my eibachs is that they are a bit squeeky !!!

There is a great Pug specialist in Walsall (just off J9 of the M6) if your still having problems getting it lowered and are willing to let somebody else try.

They know there stuff and do a PROPER job, no messing at all.

Cant see your pics at the mo cause im at work but will check them out later mate.

I should be able to sort it mate but that Pug specialist sounds interesting do you have any more details?

The coilovers are knackered thats the main problem so I have no ability to adjust the springs hence why its so high.

Complete waste of money.
