cheers for the comments, both my other half and 2 mates at work think it looks better without the grill done but my dad and brother think its better with the grill done :lolz:

atm i have it without.

people have said i should do the top of the spoiler black also to get a theme going on :look:

but not sure yet, but again its only vinyl so if i did it and thought it looked pants i could just take it off again :thumbsup:

here is a better pic of the car from thismorning, sorry for the condensation lol and the cars clean so it shows better :thumbsup:

and this is how im wanting the car to look, would like oppinions on this, wheels are the thing that is annoying me as i rally dont know what i want on it, i like the multispokes but on the same note some deep dish 5 spokes would look amazing on it i think........

cheers for the comments again, yeah its half and half on peoples oppinions on how it looks better, not one person has said it should compleatly be taken off though! which is a good sign. i like it without the grill done so its prob gunna stay that way :thumbsup:

the splitter and side skirts will hopefully be done in jan as there cheap enoth
http://www.fensport.co.uk/fensportcars.htm
Â£60 for the front splitter
Â£80 for the skirts :thumbsup:

rear bumper is Â£80 also but im not sure on that yet, may just get a lower bumper splitter for the rear.....

I'd say don't lower it, just get stiffer springs and better dampers. Maybe 25mm or something.

Mines only down 50mm-ish and i find it a pain if i ever have to mount kerbs, and cleared issues with the standard splitter the front bumper has. :doh:

Totally not practical and just annoying.

See the problem os that it is already very low on the front end and it only just clears going onto my driveway, once u get the splitter on it I'd say it's gunna be very tight indeed to get it on the drive unless reverse it on all the time, then lowering aswell may make it impossible..... I'm deffo gunna lower it but proberly not as low as I was thinking before, as u said ry 25mm seems a good hight or mayb 20mm...

long timeno post on here, hope everyone had a brillient christmas!!

The Celica is now lowerd :thumbsup:

30mm drop with PI springs, rides and hadles very well 8-)

was a pain in the arse to fit though! fronts were very easy and i though oh thats good as the rears should be even easyer, ohhhh i was wrong lol. had to remove all the interier boot panels just to get to the top 3 bolts of the rear suspension and then once they were undone it was a bloody pain in the arse just to try and get the suspension out of the tiny gao there was :hsugh:

but 4 hours later it was all done :thumbsup:

tell you what, was very nice being able to undo every bolt without having to worry about rust :lol:

all undid very easily :halo:

here are some pics :thumbsup:

only before pic i have

and after

will get some better ones once the suspension has compleatly settled and got some sun and a clean car

comments welcome as usal :thumbsup:

Looking good IMO. I don't normally say this about any car, but that Celica is screaming for a bodykit! Then again I've been warming to bodykits on *some* cars strangely...
