Living the low life. (Part One and a Half)

The car isn't quite at the stage I would like it yet so Part Two is yet to come.
Long story about the wheel colour.
Chrome F'ed itself, so I had to refinish the wheels. Love the green though. Yet to refinish the fronts.
Rack is on the car. It drains fuel like nothing else. I need a fairing.

Yep. Powdercoated. Sucks really.
Complained and they offered to refinish them for free, but I would have to get the tyres removed, as I already had all 4 mounted. Then unbuild all the wheels. Have them refinished and build them back up again.
Was too much hassle.

Wheels are BBS RM012.
Front's are 7.5J +20. 165/50 Nankang NSII.
Rear's are 8J +14. 185/45 Nankang NSII.
Front's are stretched alot to fit under the fender without mods.
Rear's have less stretch. Need to roll the fender at some point to stop rubbing.

It is slammed on coils! I need to lower the back more due to the lower profile tyres but I'm stuck with uni work for the mo so it'll have to wait.
The front hits on everything. And here in the UK, roads are about 5000x worse than what you guys call bad haha.

You're pretty low... how'd you back up that little hill without scraping?

Looks good... green wheel tint included!
