Does look bettet lower, but I like how it handles at its current height and its not impractical
Wheels will be getting powder coated when I have money, but I like them silver like so:

What would you change mate?
obviously its down to you how your car looks, but i personally think in doing the following it would look a lot better..
new front bumper (with no mesh in)
remove all the stickers
standard vauxhall post97 mudflaps
3" outrolled back box (or even a standard one)
wheels done in anthracite or silver (as they just let the car down always looking dirty)
back to the ride hight it was before (90mm rear springs i think it was)
with those small changes i think it would look a lot better, but like i said its your car.. 
BUY YOUR OWN CAR THEN WE CAN SLATE THAT AS YOUR OPINIONS ARE GETTING BORING
you may think so, but im welcome to to say what i think of his car as he is with mine and if he does so then i will take his comments into account and look into things if i like them, thats 1 of the reasons for a car forum to share ideas etc..

some people just like their car the way it is. why if they like it, changing it would make it 10x better? to them it might not?
lowering cars like you say to slam them causes awful ride quality and makes the handling suffer. why would making it look better but drive awful be 10x better?

slam them? lmao how is approx 90mm rear and 60mm front slamming them (going by the photoshop i did)
with my previous cars, people on here have gave me ideas that i never thought of and i was grateful for that..
its like when people say, what do you think of my car, you cant just expect people to say ye its really nice that, because some people wont (obviously not that it matters) but its always nice for people to give a few ideas to the owner, if they dont want to change there car then thats fair enough but some people wouldnt mind making a few changes but they may not have the ideas without people saying..

but why every thread do you say lower it more? it doesnt make the car drive better. if anything, the one in this thread looks fine at the height it is. even says it handles better and it will drive better.
its not all about how a car looks parked up on long grass. some people actually drive them?

but you say slammed though, its not that much lower in the photoshop i did..
as you may know i had a corsa a lot lower, but i could drive that fine without any problems, could have 3 people in the back, get over speedbumps fine etc and it handled very well..
so higher springs and on 16s it would have a lot more clearance..

i tell you what mk4_boy, im gonna say sorry. you are right. you can say what you want and perhaps i go over the top with replying to the things you tell people to do to their car. some people obviously highly respect your view point and its not up to me to question what makes a car look cool. i just think very differently i guess.
sorry.

i dont tell them to do anything to there cars, i give them my oppinion which im welcome to..
you think a car little lower the average on here is stupid, slammed and boring..
but i think you going on about more bhp, quicker 1/4mile times etc is boring also but i dont say anything as thats up to you..
its like if you see me post anything about lowering or what i think you just start posting pointless comments and spamming the thread..
or you posting saying you have ran this 1/4 time and me posting shite up for no reason, my mates micra can do it quicker, its just pointless..
i just think if you havnt got anything helpfull or positive to say then just dont post up and comment, simple as..
i was trying to help this guy with ideas and you started spamming the thread about me saying stuff about lowering (and if i do its only the one post) but when you comment it goes on for pages..

Nice pics mate, what camera does Ryan have btw?
Get a bit of shadow/highlight on the go and it will make them a bit better imo, like #3 where your car's in the shadow
Seeing as people are going on about what they would change, all I would do to your car is get a new backbox. Seeing as the bra is covering up missing paint then I don't see the problem with it. If it was there just as a dubbin' accessory then I may say otherwise.
