-silver visions
-35mm lowering springs
-rs grille
-colour coding
-fixing scratched paintwork and 5 million chips on my bonnet
-paint wheels black
-black badges

I've got 25mm spacers all round on mine mate, makes a big difference tbh. I've done pretty much everything you've suggested there but I've done my bullets and wheels etc in ford graphite grey but the stealth look always looks good.

 

[deanog123]

was thinking 35mm springs do i really need to tell the insurance? people are saying they wont even be able to tell the difference?

 

[PP200t]

Years back on my 1.2 dynamique I didn't tell them, but now I've grown up, I don't think it's worth it! Just my honest opinion.

 

[joej9]

I've got 35mm eibach sportlines on mine an I told the insurance about them. My most expensive mod them. My sport bumper, interior and cup spoiler was only about £8 extra per month but the springs were £17 extra per month.

 

[deanog123]

how old are you though joe? my insuranc is mad coz of being 17 and passing my test in the summer

 

[joej9]

I'm 23 been driving 3 year as well so that'll play a major part like. Just ring them up and ask for a price for springs if you were to put them on the car and see how much it'll be. If you can afford it, go for it but if it's going to be a bit pricey then save your money till next year.

 

[deanog123]

hmmmm yeah i think i will, but what 40mm drop they probs wont even notice.. :/

 

[joej9]

If anything happened though I'm sure the insurance company would pick up on it and your insurance might be void. The first few months I had my springs on I didn't say anything but then I realised if anything happens i might get f*cked over.

 

[deanog123]

just bought paint, black indicators, some carbon wrap and silver visions, and a cheeky never been nurburgring sticker will update photo's later/tomorrow

[joej9]

black indicators look much better mate, I've got them on my black one. silvervisions make a massive difference. you thought about a smaller front plate?

 

[deanog123]

sprayed wheels black this evening laquer for tomorrow morning... all i wanna do now rs grille and a 3/4 plate

 

[joej9]

you know the right size for the 3/4 plate? I made the mistake of ordering the actual 3/4 off fancy plates haha when it came it was tiny haha

 

[deanog123]

i dont tbh joe do you know what size it is? also here's my photo's from the weekends work not a very good photo i know it was on my phone gunna go for a little drive this weekend and find somewhere nice to take a few snaps:

 

[joej9]

It's 520mm x 94mm mate

 

[deanog123]

are they legal? sorry to be a noob

 

[-Danman-]

Noo there not road legal mate but I've never been stopped with mine though, don't think many people have tbh

 

[deanog123]

to be fair there not to much smaller they fit into the reccess's nicely as far as i've seen

 

[deanog123]

rs grille is on the way! now looking at some eibach sport lines, only thing left to do then would be colour code

 

[deanog123]

Hi mate, People on here would say look into eibach sportlines or save for coilys. And others say Apex if it's a non-sport. So it varies! About the photo's, use an image hosting website such as "image shack". Upload a few photo's there then copy and paste a forum link in the to message box, and once submitted they should show up Look on my thread to see Great car btw, should be a gooden!

 

[deanog123]
