Yer I noticed! believe it or not it on Eibach sportline springs lol - you wouldn't think it would you. It will get lowered more at some point - but I'll get it smoothed early august hopefully. How much should I be looking to pay? any Idea? I was thinking around the £500 mark.

I thought it was lowered already.

I dont know too much about smoothing to be honest with you, but from what i have heard something around £500 sounds about right!
so worth it though for your car because it would look awesome!

yeah i didnt do a great job matching the colour of the car lol i was going to spend some time on it and get it exactly the same as the car. gloss black would be sweet though.

The sides will be a pricy job if they're clipped on.

It means you'll need the holes welding and the majority of the side of the car spraying, that'll probably be £500 alone.

I was quoted 750 for the sides alone, but the guy i went to was a rip off, a guy on club polo told me the sides cost him 150 and he heard that was cheap so as you can see it varies greatly, shop around, it looks amazing, i want it done too lol

Bit of an old post. But yer I got a quote around the £1000 for complete smoothage. Still don't know what to do lol. Ended up getting the Air and leathers in the end. Wanna change my wheels next i think. :D

I think you made the right choices mate!!

Smoothing and colour coding would go a little too far in my oppinion.

Get some BBs RMs with a black centre finish to match your strips and it'll look the sh*t 8)

Thanks mate, I agree. :D Thinking mabee gloss black strips and mirrors and toying with the Idea of black centres BBS. Small and Wide RM's? or 17/18''s LMs with polished lip possibly? :? :)

As for self colour coding - I'd rather pay a professional. All my other modifications have been done professionally so wouldn't wanna mess it up now. Fair play if you can do it - I just don't think my Zero experience at bodywork would aid me much. lol.

Here's a pic if anyone fancy's photoshoping some rims for me seeing as we're in the photoshop section :D Need some inspiration guys. Would appriciate very much!
