Thats all i have im afraid :/, but heres a list of what i have done, pics will be added when its sunny and i can be bothred to take some pics :p:
Debadged and bumpstripes removed.
15" alloys.
Lowered 60mm on the front and 40mm on the back.
Semi decent ICE set up :) running 2 12" subs in the boot so decided not to lower it 60mm because its already weighed down lol.
I did have some cheapy electrical tape evil eye look thingys, but thinking of actually buying the real thing haha.
Fitted a front splitter from a polo (now i cant even drive off the drive :) ).

Thats all i can really think of to be honest, but i have alot of plans, what ya think? :)
Like i said new pictures will be added at somepoint.

To be fair it looks alot worse in these pics than it does in real life :P lol, hopefully new pics will make her look abit better :).
But yeahh i was just going to go 40 all round, but then they sent me the wrong kit so she ended up 60-40 anyway lol, but my tyres rub on the wheel wells on the back anyway, i doubt i could have gotten away with much lower. Personally i think it looks alright though :) and my subs to weigh a actuall ton :P. Thinking of stripping her out and making her as light as possible and just getting 2 pairs of decent headphones for me and the passenger :p.

Looking into getting like a spoiler, tint my rear windows and just new exhaust then shes pretty much where i want her to be honest :). Was looking into getting the gsi? side skirts and some mud flaps, but thats about it, i really dont want to come across boy racerish :P.
