hi, i currently own an all black MCS, i'm thinking of lowering it 30-40mm, having the wheels painted black, and also having the plastics body coloured, has anyone done the same?? if so, have they got pics so it gives me a rough idea of what it may look like.

any help appreciated.

Yeah there's some other pics in my gallery. Your car would be very similar to mine, except I have the aerokit.

I get stares all the time in my car, well when people notice it. It is very stealth after all. It's been nicknamed the Batmobile by my family and it's stuck. Thinking of getting a little Bat sign for the back window.

All I need to do is de-swirl it. The previous owner wasn't very kind with the paint work. Just need a porter cable polisher!
