Very nice

Looks like you're going to have fun over speedbumps from that first picture

Speed bumps?! Bwah, it scrubs if I go over manholes or gutters! It scubs on anyting that isn't perfectly flat! Looks pimp doing it though... lol.

Top job - nice chrome wheel arches and smoke windows would finish it off nicely.......

Yep I know - the taxi is for me!!!

Judging by the cable ties they are just show plates

I love it. With both sets of wheels, perhaps preferring the Rials.

They are Rials, right? Maybe Exip?

Anyway. Top job!

that looks absolutely cracking!

must be inexcess of 60mm drop - lowered the cheap way i take it ?!? hehe

My wheels are Alley Cats, its lowered -70mm on venom's -70mm shocks and spings package (had it over a year so I forget who even makes them!). No cheap spring chopping here!

The fuz haven't pulled me yet, but I'm expecting it ot happen. When it does I'll just say "sorry le-bacon, I had just been to a show and there show plates hence the cable ties, shame on me".

Don't drive it daily anymore (I can't, to fecking low!) so hopefully if its seen once in a blue moon they'll just think its a european person

Cheers for the comment guys.

that kit is the lowerer (not a word i know) version of mine - made by gmax iirc. also, the wheels are the same as mine, just the black and diamond cut versions!! coincidences eh!

ps... i knew i shoulda gone for the -70 kit, it looks so damn cool!!

it may look cool but whats the point of going so low that the car is undriveable.

It is driveable, it just a bit orkward

SteB: Do your wheels fit in properly like without shaking like a mother f****r? cause mine don't. Proper pain in the arse, looking for some new rims now.

There seems to be a fine line between nicely lowered, and "oh sh*t" i can't drive it now. The Derby looks real nice, great stance, but do you think over the next 12 months or so, you'll demolish it on all those pot holes and speed ramps, might be kinda sad to see a great example go that way.
I'm faced with the same problem with mine - do i have it driveable (40mm drop, might look a bit high) or do i slam it and suffer the consequences...? I do have a "daily driver" car though, so i can just use mine for shows,etc.
