there could be a good market for replacement arches

Yeah, I'm starting to have second thoughts about lowering it now. I scraped the lip under the front bumper for the first time today. There was a pretty loud clunk. I got out of the car to check it out, luckily nothing is broken. The bottom of the lip is a bit scuffed up, but you'd never know unless you looked under there, and even then it's not too bad.

I'm starting to also wonder whether or not it would be possible to get a bigger wheel arch panels, preferably matching body colour (dark silver), as the car is already quite low. I tested it out, and i can stretch my thumb and index finger wider than the height of the front bumper... so yeah, it's already quite low.

Also, I always look at pictures I took of the car when it was only 2 days old as a basis for comparison, and it seems to sit higher in the pictures than it does atm in real life. I guess this is probably a result of the springs needing to be worn/settled in or maybe dodgy photo taking on my part?

btw i just clocked over 3000kms today
