That looks mint.

Engine bay looks really nice.

Might want to lose the orange front indicators though.

Is it Ash Black?

Yes its ash black and the car came with clear indicators but looked a bit boring so
I put the orange ones in and I prefer it that way to be honest.
I used to have an imperial blue one and it looked much better with the clear ones on.Each to there own style I say.

Here here mate. I totally agree. It is YOUR car after all!

How much do you think you will lower it by? I don't think it needs much.

I know the car quite well ,I am good mates with jason who owned it before Iain, it is a very nice car.
one thing tho, I told jason his tailpipe was upside down but he never got round to turning it round, the flat side should be at the top, so it lines up correctly with the hole in the bumper.
I do like the mods you have done since you bought it tho, jason wanted it to look like that but always regretted selling his saph, hence the reason to sell it.

Yes I thought it was upside down and Ive never bothered to change it round yet.Its a flying machine and im chuffed with it.I want to lower it by 20-25mm and it will look sweet but im sure the ride will be hard as hell.Im wanting to get it on the rollers and see what it can do.It boosts to 26psi and drops back to about 21psi I think thats normal? Its got all the stage3 gear and a stage4 MAD/bayjoo chip in it.

Decked is best!

True we don't have any proper roads here. Still I belive Cossies are more of rallycars then of circut racing cars. And rallycars need some suspension travel. Other thing is that lowering Cossies without extensive suspension modifications gives you not very nice geometry numbers.

I may be wrong though
