How low should I go?

On my 1.1? Will probably get the car lowered over xmas period because it sure needs it!

Also if anybody would like to photoshop it for me that would be cool!

ive gone down 55mm on my 1.1i mate, and your car looks like it could do with the same!

your get a bit of rubbing on the rear but thats a piece of piss to sort out your self.

if you want to keep your handling then go down slightly more on the front than the back say 55 on the back and 60 on the front but if you just want looks then go 60 all round buddy

lol no not you G, im talking about stuarts pic at the top of the thread.

have you not seen the chrome surrounds you can get for the rear lights and number plate etc??

dont have them on there anymore that pic is a very old one. Apart from that the car is still the same. If I was to go -90 back would I have to do more archwork than just rolling the lip?

well if u were wanting a good ride, no terrible scrubbing over bumps, u should drop it 50mm. BUT if u want a sweet ass car, put some small alloys on her and slam it 80mm!
