Matt,
They look really nice..!! I'm not sure about the wheel colour and I know I will get blasted for it, but I just get the feeling it needs something else..!!
Miles,
You could be right, I don't know about spacers, if I drop it a bit, I'm pretty sure the tyres would hit the arches with spacers on, but I will listen to advice..!!
Thanks everybody, I am really chuffed with the car and to get 440bhp from her is an assett I really like. She has been a pride and joy and that will continue with me..!!
Cheers

Rob, I'll take some pictures of mine later today. Spacers and dropped is fine. No risk of fouling so long as you don't go ridiculously low, but if you did you could always fit camber plates :D

OK Miles, always open to suggestion, what clearance have you got from tyre top to arch edge..?? Driving home with the boot full of the OE exhaust bits did make it sit lower, so if that's luggage for example, I don't want to finish up tapping the bodywork on bumps..!!

Robert, with 15mm lower setup on my 4200 (18" rims) i have travelled half of Europe (Italy, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and back) with my ex girlfriend (not the white pants!!!) with luggage room and rear seats full of stuff. I don't think there 'll be any trouble under any condition.

The only thing that is dangerous to hit, are the cats, cause it's very low down there, but if you're up for spacers only, this won't be a problem.

Mike, have you fitted fitted the lowering springs and FD wheels yet?

No, I'm hopeless.
Have a FD DBW module to fit too.

I'm more than capable of fitting them myself, and consequently do not like giving the job to others, but sometimes if I don't, it just doesn't get done!
