I think actually, some bigger rims and rubber band tyres, it will look mint.

The phrase 'can't polish a turd' springs to mind, but its your money so hey ho. If you like, I guess that's all that counts. Has it improved the ride or made it worse?

Not any worse than Sports suspension that came out of factory. I have set it to softest setting though.

with regards to "polishing a turd" - you could relate that to 90% of all modified cars. It's a passion, different tastes.

I'd be ditching them tyres, SUNNY? What fucking make are they? Be understeering all over the place. Rather you than me.

Ive been tempted to add some lows to my E39 lately too.....

Since selling the fully sick 20" rimzz that came on the car and swapping back to the standard 17's, I cant help but think a little lower would look lovely.
