CRAIG :rolleyes:
hope you don't mind? but we could have a game of "spot the difference",by using an earlier pici and one you'v posted on this post...what do ya think?
So noticeable isn't it Ian ........ since lowering, all the other cars left in a hurry!
I have seen Craig's car and it looks lower than the pici shows.
It definately looked lower than mine!!

bigger than 17s...
I know what yer mean about the scuff marks, not to mention the stomach churning scrapes n knocks..I had those until I changed the standard mitz shocks ... improves the handling but hardens the ride even more... :-b
Your fuel bills will rise exponentially .. just you watch! :-D
Looking good mate. And yes, can spot the difference!
This car has always intrigued me a little. Is it by any chance an import? As it is on a "w" plate but has pre facelift front it ties up with being what was described as a VRM. Of course I may be talking out my ar$e in which case just ignore a senile old git :$ :-D

"CLASS" can have that effect on other's?
