Swapped lowered suspension this weekend with Tommyc
so thought id take a few pics to see what you guys think!

I dont know what drop they are but i like it.

Ride has been compromised a bit but i expected that.
No rubbing issues but ill have to remove the mudflaps as
these catch going in and out of my drive but im fitting
SE sideskirts soon so was going to take them off anyway.

So what do you think?

Thanks fellas :)

Bit gutted really because i also had the chance of swapping my `is` interior for full Black sport leather but the drivers seat needed some leather work(a bit more than i would like)so didnt bother with it,plus my interior is almost immaculate(except drivers door panel,Dan winkeye)so im still happy :)
Cant wait to get the sideskirts fitted now so im going to get on it this week.Ordered the clips to fix to the sill lips today from BMW,50 pence each,so ill pick them up on Wednesday!

Eko mate, don't suppose you have the part numbers for the SE sideskirts clips?

I've got the skirts but no fittings, if you've got a note of them and where you ordered yours from I'd be much obliged as my local dealers are about as useful as a chocolate teapot.

cheers

RAZZA

This is the part number which was given to me by another zoner.
09 - CLAMPING - 51711938940

To be honest,i didnt give them the part number because my computer wasnt on.I just phoned my local dealer,Westerly BMW Exeter and explained what i needed.
Not in stock,but they are ordered for Wednesday and apparently come in packs of ten.
Think the parts guy said 51p each plus VAT!

Hope this helps :)

Cheers mate

Have had the skirts in the garage for about 2 years and am finally getting round to putting them on. Bodyshop said they could glue them on but I'd rather do it the proper way.

Thanks again

Any opinions?

Was thinking about going the whole hog and smoking the headlights too,what do you think?
