Gotta say the lowered one, it looks far better. Personally if I were buying I would take a look round both, if it's been fettled has it been fettled right? Just a thought and no insults intended.

the lowered one is mine, just had to put the motorsport (for sale soon!) wheels on while my alpinas are in for a referb! think andys thinking of lowering his and he also wants a spliter like mine. only trouble is if he lowers it like mine he will have to get a kango on the path that leads into his garden as i couldnt get on his drive

yer, cant be dealing with 14in wheels lol. they are just being filled and painted and one of them had a little flat spot on it thanks to a nice pot hole in the middle of the road that i manage to find!

so if i take my touring down 60mm that means i have to leave it on the road, maybe i need someone to come round who has only got 20mm so i can try it out first. Adam how much was your car lowered when you came round cos that went in ok so does Neils blue cab thinking about it.

I like the one with the BBS wheels,not a fan of lowering,if i could,I would build an E30 Tourer/Range Rover hybrid

X5 V8 for thrills, CRV for chills, Range Rover P38 V8 for sooooo much aggravation...
