Think most of you no i have this by now, but the ones that dont then heres some pics.

these are the pics from the for sale add,










since owning it, ive added some JOM coilovers, left the spring adjusters out the back and lowered the front all the way down, I like low cars lol





thats straight after lowering so they have settled lower now.

since then ive had to higher the front up a tad as it was too low to go on a rolling road i went on a few weeks back, i wanted a base figue to work from before i start tuning the engine, got a nice healthy 202 bhp

other mods ive fiited are

irmscher grill
bonnet lifters
led sidelights
H.I.D.s 8k
Alpine headunit



wil get some better pics soon after i clay bar it and use my collinite wax etc
