Looks mint, nice and slammed!

ahh, nice. i recognise pic. gunna have to meet up some time. would like to get a closer look at yours.

Is that next to the cinema?

thats a doncaster meet. saw this pic from another forum. can't remember the name of the place.

There is a cinema/mcdonalds/tesco? next to a car park where I used to go to Donny cruise a few years ago

nice. your right about the front, could do with coming down a bit. though with 17s you might get some rubbing issues

let me know how ya gunna lower the front end need to drop the front a wee bit on mine

you can get front only height adjustable coilovers. The only way to do it IMO

to be honust, the price of front only adjustables you can probably pick up front and rear adjustable coilovers from ebay, i know a fair few people with the £200 quid ones from belgium, no complaints either.

The above Pics were taken in Donny near the cinema... There is a Superbowl and ASDA and Maccy D's there so you prob have been ....

I got my Cooilovers for 215 deliverd and they seem to be doing the job so far... finished it off today... i must say tho when you put them on make sure you coat the treads in copper grease or summat to stop them all seizing up... my rears are solid and i couldn't undo them b4...

Just a bit more of an update... have Fitted front coilovers and Recaros inside and give it a bit of a clean... and now its just started to rain.... AGHHHH

Wot you think then????

I'll find out about the bra.... i've got paperwork somewhere... i think they look so awesome... and got the recaros off a dude with another Vent-Lo... they have the rear arm rest in them so belive them to be from a vento originally so prpper rare...

Shame i couldn't make ultimate dubs tho...

did you drive up for them? i have sat in that exact set, you bought them off my mate lol. nice seats although i found them a little hard for comfort. i kept telling my mate those were standard seats that came in his vento but he wouldnt beleive me because the front seats can flip forward, even though every set of reclining recaros ive seen 3 or 5 door have been able to flip forward.

that looks awsome

I've gone down about 60mm if not more tbh and am on 7.5 x 17's ET 35 and they dont rub at all....

may have to upgrade to 18's

hmm interesting. see im just weighing up the pros and cons of coilovers. yeah i can go lower not a problem but its the more practical side of things. like being able to get it on ramps and stuff. it only jsut gets on now

find a garage with flat ramps for mots

Quick update for all... had to swap wheels.... Bent one o the S3 Rims and wor struggling to get some for the right price....

So here goes.... But i must say i quite like it ....
