    if you want it too look smart mate just lower it and thats it, dont go with body kit imo, just got for some 16s and lower it then you can go about 60mm down and it will look really smart
    
    artnmotion (dom) has one down 60mm
    
    joe isnt yours down 60mm?

    Yeh mines 60 all round mate.
    
    I would definately advise against a lairy body kit.
    
    But if you have your heart set on one - I'd recommend the Dimma kit:
    
    
    
    
    With Dimma kit on - you can fit some 16s and lower it 40-50 depending on how close you want it to the floor .
    
    
    But personally - Id keep the kit off, tidy up the bodywork, lower 60mm on 16inch hoops and the jobs a good un! time for some engine work
