Re: Today's top up detail - Let's talk about shine

Thats looking EPIC mate and i like the choice of speedline turini's!! What products did you use? Ever tried black hole glaze applied with a DA at medium speed? i use that and HD wax and you get the best shine and depth ever!!

Re: Can i mod my coilovers to go lower???

There is a place online that can make you custom springs to what even drop you want (obviously within reason)
One of my mates has a Corsa C and he got 120mm springs made for the back for £100 posted and they set it off really nice!!

Just an idea!

I take it that they dont drop that low on coilovers?
