I understand what your saying Beef'

Except, i've already gone and lowered it and done a few other things, have a quick scan through the thread, you'll see what i mean.

This cars probably going to be with me for quite a while now so i dont mind spending a few £ so that im happy with it. I'll be buying some new alloys soon ish, nothing over £200 thats for sure and that will probably be it. Then maybe a few pound here and there on minor things.

Most of my money goes towards my bikes but i cant help spending a few quid getting the car looking right aswell. smile

Did you say Chav slabs ?

Looks to me that, despite all PH advice not to 'chav it up', that's exactly what you've gone and done.

I have to disagree it's hard for young drivers to have a descent car so they modify them, some worse than others. It's a saving grace SMKurt has stuck to basics " clean and simple" that's what sets him apart from the ' maxpower ' crowd.
I see no 20 inch chrome bling wheels, I see no hydraulics etc etc.

It's making good what can be made good, car 'modifying' is a personal thing so slating what he thinks looks good should be out of the question !

Anyway I like it thumbup

I think it looks okay, it's good that you're keeping things subtle and OE although unfortunately I'd also say the car has been considerably devalued.

Thank you. Yes i only wanted something subtle, smooth and almost stealthy.

I understand what your saying about the price of it. Thats why everything i've done can be reveresed (apart from the springs and rubber strips) within a day. smile
