What is the colour? It reminds me of Joe's 2 (gt4mayhems) which was sprayed a lambo yellow if I remember correctly, photographs wouldn't do his justice either.

Hellfire Sheppy that is amazing!!! :clap: :clap: :clap: worth waiting for but don't stress too much over the little bits that you find, most things can be touched up quite easily after the spraying is done and ypu'd be surprised at the effect polishing has on on flat and rough areas.

Just the same matey it looks awesome. :thumleft:

Cheers man, yeah you're right, i was actually thinking that today, it's a nice modern paint too so it'll be easy to colour match, everyone seems to love it, i have pretty strange taste with mods and cars, i like the JDM kind of look, i think i got it right with this though, i was worried about the bolts i chose to hold on the kit, they are anodised blue but everytime i see them i'm so glad i picked them :)

Loooooving it without a spoiler too!! Thinking of just leaving it like that!

Thanks again for the kind comments :)

Sheepy i would protection clear wrap the front bumper and lip asap i found stone chips will get bad within weeks due to it being fibre glass. I had to respray my front as it was soo bad after some motorway drives in the rain it looked like black with white poker dots

Wat i found is... if u blend/join the arches to the bumpers they will crack along the gap over time best thing is to keep them apart not blend them in and the clear protective wrap really stop any damage to the front bumper... i was considering clear wraping the whole car maybe a bit ott

Nowhere near as low as you'd think, the standard lip comes off to fit this too, I reckon about 20mm?? If that :thumleft:

I can't get in my driveway but mine is way steep, i can get over speedhumps without issue though :thumleft:

My car is also lowered 30mm, I'll measure the exact distance between the lip and the ground for you today.it's not so much the height it's the distance from the wheels that's the issue for me with my driveway. actually, i have 2 driveways, the shallower of the 2 is no issue.
