Re: lowered my gp

Re: lowered my gp

i do agree though it was a little harsh, i dont like the wheels or those side rubbing strips, but its your car and you should do as you please. Still why anyone would replace those lovley mjet wheels with black/chrome is beyond me. Otherwise, nice mods (oh except removing the iconic GP grille)

Re: lowered my gp

Is it legal to shade the headlights over there? Think it would go well with the colours..

Depends on how dark you make them, personally i think if you shade them yourself it look crap and attracts unwanted attention from the fuzz.

Re: lowered my gp

that car looks awsome, ace alloys, ace paint, ace everything. What alloys are those?

ps, your front tyre looks a little underflated
