: Lowering, wheels and colour combo??

Yo guys,

Thinking of lowering my Dooper now, and found a set of Eibach Pro-kit springs on Lohen for £119. I think the springs are better value for money than a full set of coil-overs :eek:
How's the ride on 20-30mm lowered cars? And does it affect much on the warranty?

Also thinking of getting some new rims and got a not bad quote for exchange of my 16" blasters for some 17" anthracite R99's. But I'm liking the look of black/polished lip wheels (mine's an astro-black) and Mini don't seem to do these! Has anyone got any aftermarket ideas?
Thinking of limiting it to 17"s, because the ride (with the lowering springs) will be too hard. Also, can runflats be fitted easily to aftermarket wheels?

Apologies for not dissecting all the threads already in this forum, maybe this one can be used as a summary review...:rolleyes::D

Any advice and pics would be greatly appreciated by a noobs! :p
