well you can go as low as you want as the wheels have the correct offset , i would say 40-60mm depending on area you live and if you daily have more than 2 people in car

Thanks, yeah i brought it in june and when i saw it in person i was shocked at how good of a condition it is in, when it will be 10 years old in jan.
Also to say it was brought in essex then sold in newcastle then came to the midlands lol.
Its been down up and middle haha still with only 64,000 on the clock.
Yeah i'm looking foward to getting the spoiler on, ive got the paint and everything but just waitng for my dad to take it to rolls royce where his mate will spray it me. also the spoiler allows me to connect my washer jet up to it duno if they all do?
Oh right, i tend to have 3 ppl in the car at weekends but sometimes more, i wanna lower it so i can tell my mates to f**k walk and not always bum a lift off me though lol.

thats well good milage, if you dnt want anyone in bk take seats out and dropp in 100mm lol but if you have people regulary id go 40mm wich will improve handling 100x better , mines dropped 60mm all round and i can easily have 5 people in car but i have to go over speedbumps at 1mph . however when you do decide to lower make sure you buy a full kit (shocks + springs) if you have money to spend to could always go for some coilovers wich will allow you to have you car at any height.

Alright mate, its one i got made at a custom place near me.
It dont make the car sound loud, becuase i thought that would be stupid on a 1.0L lol, its just adds a nice growl to it :)

And thanks mate, im pretty happy with it and to say i was going to get rid of it after xmas lol.
Glad im not now.
