I love it. With both sets of wheels, perhaps preferring the Rials.
They are Rials, right? Maybe Exip?
Anyway. Top job!

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.

it may look cool but whats the point of going so low that the car is undriveable.SteB wrote: ps... i knew i shoulda gone for the -70 kit, it looks so damn cool!!

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.
