i suppose if money isnt not an issue you could source coilovers and adjust the ride height to your taste or you could buy a lowering kit includes shocks and springs or the cheapest is buy the springs mine is 60mm All over shocks and springs

they look very good :)

what suspension are you using ?
sadly a cabby on 17" rimz with rubber band tyres must drive a bit like a sainsburys shopping trolley :(
it's a shame they don't do a 16"

my baby is on 60mm and the tyres arent rubber bands they 215s the ride is decent considering. . . . Its shocks and springs but i suppose alot of the bushes are new so this does aid alot!

Very nice. I can't put my finger on it but these poop all over the Lenzo BSXs for me.. I think maybe the sharper profile to the spokes looks better..

Will you be sourcing some BMW roundel centre-caps? I think that would really set them off.

You must be very pleased Ali :D

Its got a oem spec chrome grill and clear front lenses them pics are bit dated now. Mate y did you sell it to nick pm me?

Anyway i now have 3 centre caps waiting on the new 1 soon as i get it im getting the roundels made up i will definitely put up pics!
