This is a pic of the car the weekend I bought it (last) completly as standard :)

So far since ive got it ive debadged the boot (leaving behind the JTD badge and the DK sticker as i havent tackled that yet :(), detrimmed the doors and rear quaters and just this morning ive added a set of 17" Wolfrace Snipers (y)

It isnt lowered yet! Still looks good me thinks :D I have got a lowering kit in the garage BUT i set about fitting it this morning only to be defeated by a bolt that rounded itself as i tried to get it off :( Not sure what to do about it but ill give it a go next week as ive got a week off and hopefully it wont be pouring with rain :mad:

The wheels have made it a little bit slower although the rolling radius really isnt that much bigger. Can definatly feel the difference BUT im sure the remap will sort that when i get it done (y)

So what you all think?
dont fancy your chances over speed bumps, kerbs or garage ramps, especially if its fibreglass, but cracks and flaky paint are all part of the boyracer look so i'm sure you'll get used to it. you could probably do with a speed bump database on your sat nav to help you avoid them.

out of all the body kit bits i usually hate rear skirts or valances the most, but that one is actually very good, probably the best ive ever seen. it could almost pass as a fiat accessory if it was an inch and a half higher. it does suit the standard bumper well, unlike most others that look like they've been designed for another car (or spaceship) and then bodged on, that one actually compliments the lines and shape of the standard bumper. thats quite an achievement. who designed it?
 
not sure who its made by!.. i just found it on ebay with 15mins to go at £35 so went for it!

as for knocking on bumps.. as it is now ital be fine. it looks lower in pics that it actually is to be honest.

The reason i went for it was that it does compliment the standard bumper perfectly! follows the lines exact and does almost look standard!
