looks a nice car!
Thats not an m-tech kit though?! Just a tech 2 spoiler and smoothed out tech 1 one side skirts. when did you have the car sprayed? are those 45 or 50 profile tyres on the bbs's? Is that an iS lip spoiler on the front?

I never said that it was an M-Tech kit! I knew that it had a bit of M-Tech 1 and a bit of 2! to my klnowledge the car has never been sprayed! and the tyres 50's!

Nice car you got there mate, I think the other Simon mis-read M-tech body bits as M-tech body kit :lol:

Same as what the others have said really, nice exhaust and some new colour coded mirrors, and guess what I happen to have in my garage..a pair of nice shiney Brilliant red mirrors!

The pics look great mate. I love the Mtech1 Skirts with the Mtech2 Spoiler, looks awesome. Do you happen to know how much your car is lowered?

Don't think that speed bumps will be very forgiving on an iS lip!! with my car being pretty low!

true! you'd prob have to go back to 55 profile tyres to get away with it
whats the ride like being low with the 50 profile tyres? Might put some 50 profile on the iS - better acceleration and a bit lower :)

The shocks are Bilstein to my knowledge but are not hard there like hold on corners but are forgiving and dont break your teeth over a bump! yeah the 50's are pretty good mate! the bloke who i bought the car off had just bought 4 tyres and shown me a reciept for Ԛ£300!! 8O

Might have a look for a BBS spare and a few bits and peices for the interior! will the map lights on the mirror already have the connection inside the car so that it can be set up?

Has your car got an M-Tech 2 spoiler on it?? think i might have seen it if you have! did you used to park it outside the wheatsheaf in Gwersyllt/Summerhill?
