Posts: 345 Thanks: 3 Trader Rating: 0 | Very very nice!!! I had talked myself out of getting sideskirts fitted but after seeing these pictures I definitely want them again now!!!!!DAMN!!!! I also think the skirts only look right when the bumper strips are painted (like yours) So I suppose i will have to get that done too!!! DAMN DAMN!!! Just out of interest how much did it cost to get bump strips painted??

Posts: 3,165 Thanks: 73 Trader Rating: 0 | Re: Finally lowered suspension sorted out and a glimps with the sideskirts fitted! the eibach sportline are 50mm/45mm, the whole difference 5mm i shudnt fink ull be able to tell much! I dont fink the springs have drop fully yet, havent measure to check but the garage advised it would take a 2/3 weeks for them to settle in properly and seens as im not working the car has just sat on the drive! But i did have my bootbuild in the ova day and my second battery sits were the spare wheel use to be, on top of that my install is quite heavy and drops the backend down quite a bit more! Im finkin about gettin some coilovers to adjust the front so there even! But we'll have to see how it goes! With reference to the grilles you either love em or you hate em! Simple as...theyve grown on me and i love em! But i fink im ready for a change and black mesh and a splitter are on the cards! EDIT: and with reference to the abarth badges comment i cudnt agree more, i dont wana badge my car up as an abarth cos its not! The side skirts cum with the recess in and i cudnt be arsed to have it filled in and havin an empty hole there wud basically look pants!
