I did exactly the same with my MPi, I much prefer the coloured lenses than the clear! Looks great mate.

Ok so everything is properly fitted now : new 7,5 brake setup, adjusta ride extra low and an engine protection plate underneath.

I noticed that I can't really keep the standard red Koni's to go low with the adjusta ride so planning to buy new shocks.

What do you guys recommend : AVO Adjustable Shock Absorbers LOWERED SET of 4 or GAZ Adjustable Shock Absorbers LOWERED Set 4 ? I'm aware of the price difference.

I want to make it look stock but with a twist so the sportspack arches will stay. In the past I thought about changing them but they are genuine sportspack arches which means I will have holes in the bodywork when changing them. Filling up those holes, repainting them and the arches was not what I had in mind so dropped that idea. It is an original sportspack so I don't want to spoil that.

The wheels are around -22 offset so they will sit nice with the arches (like the red sportspack mini on page 4 of the Stance thread).
They are in fact the golf cart wheels, I just like to call them Potenza's cause everyone knows them by that name :D !

I also need to order :

- 4x 165/70/10 Yokohama Tyres A032R
- New 10 inch spare wheel ?
- New exhaust because the stock one is scraping already due to the huge silencerbox, thinking about Fletcher 3" side exit polished with CAT link pipe (strict emissions at Belgian MOT)
- 4x GAZ adjustable lowered shocks

Yes but they are now on "normal" height because of the standard KONI shocks the sportspacks have. If you get it lower the whole thing would fall of at a speedbump :D. Need to get the lowered gaz shocks first before it can go down.

Ah nice! Let me know how they fair up. I'm thinking of getting some as they're ridiculously cheap and look great.

Keeping the sportspack is a good idea IMO.

You can get away with a 12inch spare. the rolling radius barely changes and if you only use it to get yourself to a garage to change your tire, you'll be fine.
