Hello guys

My cc's had a couple of new things done to it

angel headlights

led backlights

17"prorace wolfrace alloys (are the ones i chose in the end)

wondering how much to lower them by, also i want to get the side mouldings, and front and rear mouldings color coded!! thinkin bout takin them off and taking them to a bodyshop!! any thoughts

1 more thing, i want to get the ecosse badgeless grille, but i have noticed there is a raised part in the bonnet to accommodate the badge it will look daft with the grille and this raised part stickin up, i have seen cc's with bonnets that are standard yet have this flushed!! does anyone share this anxiety :rolleyes:

here is my pics(i have also fitted stainless rollovers and must say they look great, defo recommend, they are on ebay for Â£50 odd!

chrome hoops are a must if you don't already have them.

wheel arch extensions and sp mesh grille are also nice.

if you go for the badgeless grille then go to a bodyshop and get the bonnet filled in otherwise the job looks half done.

ecosse cristal vents are another nice touch.

nice one!

do you know how much a bodyshop would charge for filling that in! if you look closely to my left wing, i have, what i call a designer dent in it ha! do you have any idea how much it costs to get something like that sorted!?

Well smart!!!!

Which wheel arch extensions are they?? i have been told its best to get them from the Pug dealer themselves!!!?

they make a fair difference! my wheels as they are look wide and the extensions will have the effect of blending them in!!

how much have you lowered it? i was lookin at -35mm all round!! with eibach srpings prob! but i been lookin into buying coilovers cos they are adjustable?!

They were the SP arch extensions from Pug. If you are getting other work done at a bodyshop then it's worth trying ebay for the arches as they used to pop up there a lot.

The arches will make a good difference as they set the car off at the side.

The car was lowered approx 50-60mm - far too low, it looked good but was too impractical so I would agree with you looking at 35mm.

Depending on how far you want to go, the rear spoiler from Ecosse also looked good. The front splitter was my favourite mod but due to the car being too low it didn't agree with speed bumps

In all honesty I loved the car a lot but as far as reliability went it was a bag of bones and a money pit. I was sad to see it go but I couldn't afford to keep it at the same time.

ta ill try ebay!

touch wood i havent had any probs yet (Mike reaches for the nearest oak tree then touches his skull)

i get frustrated sometimes at the price of parts! especially things like the clear led back brakelight! which didnt seem the best fit or the most robust part for the money you pay!

but they do make a heck of a difference!

i have just bought a viper induction kit from pipercross, hasnt been delivered yet, did you do any performance mod?

I also had the clear brake light. It isn't in the pics as it was only on the car for the two week before it was sold.

At retail it was a bit pricey although I got mines as a promo free of charge.

But as you say it does make some difference
