looks nice and clean... but i dnt think that red will go, maybe get some carbon wrap (any colour) off ebay and do it with that :)

Nice to see what 50mm lower looks like, as I bought full Apex suspension kit with 40mm springs so should look good. Did you inform insurance of the 50mm drop ? Did you insurance go up much ?

No i didnt inform them my insurance high enough with 6 points and a revoked licence lol :( hence the 1.0l. I want to go lower, im gettin some technic front coilovers and 60mm rear with shocks , end of month. Just springs are too bouncy.

Bought some new rear lights, clear rear lenses, I'm looking at tinting the top half red and leaving bottom clear. A bit like golf mk3 rear lights. I think this will be different and stand out well. My friend does powder coating and I am getting alloys done £20 a wheel! I'm stuck deciding a colour. I want maybe a dark maroon red any suggestions/opinions? Replaced oil pressure sender other day apparently common fault but all seems well now.

No pics just yet, goin to take some tomorrow. Finished my lights and they look great IMO. I have came up with an idea to mount a new rear fog light in the centre ov my rear bumper jus underneath. As my new rear lights are clear lenses so I'll attach them to my reverse lights. Got my coil over they will be going on soon as. I got some standard rear mud flaps might change them. I'm going to get some door handles and rear boot lock to respray and put on car.
