Personally, I think the car would need far far bigger wheels to fill out the arches, something I just cant afford to splurge on just yet. I would ideally love 20+" rims, but don't know if they will fit the arches or even if the ride will be totally buggered with tyres like that.

For now, the car is just fine. A bit more fuel economy would be great, but the fun from the twin turbo's more than makes up for the economy ;)

Sidd, you dont need to get 20"s to fill out those arches. 18s with low offsets would have the same if not better effect! You have wider fenders, so make use of them ;)

i dont know if its just me, but i didnt know this forum was about pickin on a members car or anyones car, its all about taste, its not fair if a member has a car and untill now he loved the car and thought it was the next best thing since sliced bread, and then gets posted on here, and everyone takes the piss out of it, that is not very nice no matter who it is, that is just my opinion i am not having a ago at anyone i just thought that a club such as this has a large impact on some1 feelings.

yeah, its best if you dont have anything good to say keep it to yourself unless the owner ask's for the opinion of others, otherwise just like all of us on this forum we love our cars no matter what it looks like.

heh, thanks for that Khalid and Don. I don't really worry about the comments as you're never going to make everyone happy.

It would also never have happened if people had known it was a members car.
Have a look at the number of posts slagging off the car AFTER it was mentioned that it was a members car.

You'll still have to bear with the banter if you have different styling (I wonder what the guy with the blue interior would say if he read this forum).

Sidd, great attitude man.

Khalid, couldn't agree with you more (About the car thing, not the courier thing), no one like their car on the spot for public critisism, and as Don said, some may like it others don't. Nice wheels and a bit lower and that car would be a real head turner Sidd :-) Keep going mate :-)

Also, Khalid, if you die, can I have your car please? He he he, I love it :-)

Well that's one way of asking for it

Sidd with some wide wheels and lower offsets the car would look pretty damn nice. Especially with the Do Luck front.

The front bar is already too low as it is, as even after removing the lower lip, Ive scraped the silly thing far too many times.

She does turn a lot of heads, but I was looking at getting her properly detailed as right now, the finish just isn't nice enough

A guy that works near me (his car is always in my carpark) has an FSG Soarer, same do-luck kit as the white one above, though without the lip extension (same as Sidd's). It is sinfully low and that bar, at that height looks damn impressive! The way it rises toward the front means that the car is able to be silly low and still navigate driveways, speed humps etc. Bloody practical (even if your ride height isnt hehe).

Try a flat front bar and see how much fun you have when theyre low.

Thanks for the suggestion guys. The car would look awesome lowered, but with my car already scraping my apartment parking entrance, I don't think i can go any lower.

Paul - I think the wheels are some form of Enkei. Apparently they go for big $'s.

Sidd,

Despite the bad comments, when i saw you car, I thought and still think it actually looks quite nice.. I love the side skirt.

One thing I like about rides likes yours, is that they are different. Different is good!

Nice ride!
