Cheers Jay :D

And funny you should say that Jamie. Me nd my mate are cutting the springs Monday. It's as high as a kite at the moment. Only for the time being until I get coilovers. Cut a coil or two, proper slammage. Gunna get the angle grinder out aswell as the arch roller! :devil:

With the smoothed bumper on it's gunna look the funlumps boyooo! ;)

Jamie - Yeah can't wait. :) Yeah I'm attending Fordfair. But I haven't got a stand pass, anyone got one for sale?

Emblem - Thanks man. Hate those rear lights. I'm looking into getting Euro-spec ones before Fordfair. These red ones fade and turn orange. Ahaha!

Toby - Thanks mate, knew you'd like it! Running 165/50 on 15' nice lil stretch. Wheels need refurbing though. :)

Just can't wait to put the Rs accessory bumper on, it's gunna look mental!

Yes they were 60mm G-max springs. I can't find a set of MK3.5 coilovers, and if I did they be around £400 for a good set anyway. Cut springs will do for now. :D

Cheers Jon. I love em'! But needs the centre caps on but don't have the screws yet. They need refurbing badly too! What do you guys think of gloss black centres with a polished lip? :-?

Gloss black with polished lip would look awesome, and once the back is lowered i reckon you should leave the bumpers as they are, it looks ace!
That fron sits perfectly :Q

I agree with ratspeed, I think it will look better with the standard bumpers. This makes me wanna cut another coil off my front springs.
