ah im sure youll always come up with more ideas 
yeah my xsi was -40 on the front and standard on the back, looked awful if there wasn't anything in the boot! lukily i usually carted my tools about with me everywhere (too lazy to take em out) so that dropped it about 300 mm which was spot on!
soak the tits off it in a decent penetrating fluid and it shouldnt be too bad, yours is phase three after all! or take a road trip down this way and get KrisB to sort it

Dropped it 300mm? Lol
I've gone the old school method and am now sporting a bag of sand in the boot!
I dunno, sometimes I don't like it and others I do, I just don't like them dragging their arse!
Apparently there's a bloke up here that does Saxo's, Kentiiboii recommended him!
Like I said if it looks wa*k with the 17's I'll bite the bullet!
I'd ideally wanna go 60mm all round but don't think my bumper would last more than 30 seconds round here!
Kents looked well on the aidels, think he was around the 60mm mark

Hmmm maybe, gotta find some new springs then!
I wouldn't do it till after the winter anyway cos it'll just end up being a snow plough!
Gonna have a look at Kents thread cos that looks just right.

:'( don't do this to mee!!!! That picture look soooo sexy!!!!!
It was 60mm on ear dude and 40mm on front. But tbh I didn't like the little bit of arch gap left on front so I should of gone another 5mm IMO but if I did in wouldnt of got on my drive and you seen how bad that is.

@kentiiboii it did look really well mate!
Na I think the front looks bang on, u sure that's 40mm? If anything I'd have the rear matching the front,
Looks good with just a tiny bit of arch gap IMO!
If I decide to lower the back end you'll have to put me in touch with your man!
@declantg colour match is a bitch mate, I'll get away with the grill ... Just but gonna have to get the bonnet blown in I think! Gonna cost me a fortune.
Yeah a lot of people are like that with 17's but I think they fill the arches perfectly!
Ride comfort is a different matter, in 3 weeks when what's left of my spine has turned into fag ash my opinion may have changed slightly! Lol

Rude comfort isn't that bad tbh. A few people have said to me that my 306 was a better ride than my corsa baring in mind it was on 17s with 40 profile tyre and lowered on eBay coils.
They look best matched mate otherwise the nose does a dive. But some people are into that but not me.

Thanks dude . Ended up getting back with my ex! So knew what I had to do .
I have smooth bonnet grill boot for it. It has a few dints and scrapes and I'm going to fill them in and smooth bump strips and bumpers. Putting my phase 3 bumpers on . Rolling arches out and going to slam it on arse as much as possible with 17s. Then being sprayed satin black lacquered .

They are pretty close on the front from what I can see but the back has still got plenty of room!
Proper paranoid about the studs on the way home tho! Lol

Feck it, couldn't help myself
