its hard to tell how low the car is from those pics, why do you want the car to sit so low, i hate it, there isn't a speed bump in the country that will allow my mr2 to cross unscathed :twisted:

makes short cuts a big no-no :(

dude, just noticed a possible misunderstanding, when i say "i hate it" i'm meaning that i hate driving my own car and not being able to drive over any speedbumps, nothing to do with your car, sorry #-o

lol! no offence taken at all mrtee! thanks for the comments!

im still thinking whether or not to colour code...and what im gonna do with the respray im really liking the white!

the electrical tape is there to go over a few blemishes in the paintwork caused by mates being idiots and chipping the paint etc. oh and i had the headlights sanded down and ready to respray again but never got round to getting the paint hence the crosses!

im really wanting to be different with my mr2...keep it clean and sweet :D

I cant get over any speed humps or steep slopes!!

It looks good but soon becomes a pain when you have to plan your route and worry about going somewhere and coming face to face with a hump having to turn around :shock:
