Hi all,
I've got a 3 Door White Phase 1 306 Dturbo.
Had the car for over 2 years now and i've done a few bits and bobs.
-S16 Sideskirts
-Laser Alloys
-S16 Red Fleck half leather interior
-Yellow fog lights
-Done a Bosch Conversion
Over the next few weeks i'll be putting GTI6 brake set up on the front, putting a new Alternator on, Boost gauge and do the usual tuning (finally)
Plans for the next few months, FMIC, HDi gearbox, New front bumper (current one knackered!) and 40mm Lowering and much more.
Ill upload some photos tomorrow, when its light and had a clean!!!

cheers for the PhotoShop! Gives me some encouragement to lower it a bit. The roads I drive to work on are bendy A roads, I want it practical but looking good at the same time, if you know what I mean, in debating between 40-50mm

Yeah kingy has a point, if you lower the rear 50mm your going to need like 70 on your rear to level it out,

nah man, thats irish and broken!
when you start getting that low your cambers start getting affected because front arms are at the wrong angle, factor that in with years of not ensure the rack is centred and you get mega crazy bump steer...horrible
