www.regal-shop.co.uk
Mine was from Illusion Autostyle but a few people have had problems with them in the past so not sure if you'd want to use them.
what sort of problems buddy
anythere else sell jc design gear :?:
just looked on illusion autostyle and they dont do the jcdesign spoiler anymore :(
Not sure on details and dont really want to get into the problems on here. Just a few people have had bad experiences with them. They have been ok with so far though. Just when they took too much off my credit card, they are meant to be refunding it I'll have to look at my next statement or on the net to see if they have done the refund yet.
that doesnt sound good
looking at their site they dont do the spoiler anymore
i have decided not to go 4 a in your face look and fancy your spoiler
There site isn't up to date. They are meant to be doing it soon! And also the JC Design spoiler isnt on the site as they dont have them in stock you have to get them to order it from where ever they come from (probs germany!) took couple weeks for mine to come.
regal autosport sell the the jc design spoiler for 186 quid
has any1 dealt with them b4 :?:

Car is looking class m8, i would recommend u remove sidestrips , colour code everythin includin the lower front grill and change ur side mirrors would look ace if u do this and possibly some facelift lights too, other than that m8 car is coming along nicely

Looking Sweet mate. Aint no surprise I like the Steiny Grille or Reflexes :lol: Can't wait to see it at Trax, they always look better 'on the road' rather than in pics. don't know why :?
I wana c a pic of si's and chewy's next to eachother wud look well good! Looks the dogs Si, money well spent on the grille :thumbs:

Looks brill, what are your plans for it now mate?
Maybe a few more little bits like mirrors and ICE but I have done most of the major stuff now! :D
looks wicked but would look that tiny little bit better with the arches colour coded i think
your motor then would be hard to beat :)

Yer colour coding would be nice. But there's no way I can afford that for a while as that would set me back quite a few hundred quid which I aint gonna have for awhile.
i don't know why everyone raves about colour coding i can't stand it myself and think your car looks just right with the grey plastic parts breaks it up a bit
yeah i know how u feel money wise
me and my m8s were off to newquay for 5 days but we have had to cut it down to 3 and we are going 2moro as we are all skint. more so me as i have just got back for majorca :(
Are these grills standard or what :lol: :lol:
I like it Si, looking good!

Everyone seems to get ripped off on colour codes here. Your not too far from me Si, if you want a top quality colour code at a great price give Spraynique a call. They are not far from mac, they are in Stoke-on-Trent. Will do you the job for under 300, just thought I'd let you know before you get ripped 1k like some folks have :P

Cool cheers thats not too far from me and £300 doesn't sound too bad.
i got quoted 250!
do a mint job from the work ive seen aswell

I had mirrors and handles and full bumper respray for that- so he would probs do it for £250ish. Your closer to Si so if you know a reputable place maybe that'd be better :thumbs:
so whats the story with lowering the car :?
do you need new shocks or just lowering springs :?:
how much does it cost for a new set of good quality springs :?:
i bought shocks with my spings. a guy from irmscher, dan kydd who has nothing to do with the sales sed he strongly recomended the shocks as well. dont know why and every1 on here says its fine without.
think eibacs are the cheapest
i heard they were a 120 quid for a 30mil drop not sure tho
Eibachs are £119 from illusion autostyle, and you don't need the shox, but it's quite a bouncy ride on an even road.
Shocks will stiffen this up but at the cost of comfort. Go too far and you will feel every lump and hole on the road surface.

Looks good mate.
I fancy doing something similar only with steiny mirrors and sportstar alloys.
Just need to find a few grand spare....... :roll: :cry:
Arches are better as they are IMO.
Got my new mirrors on now. Nice one Chewy ;)

i luv this car! everything just looks so right.
:thumbs: they take some getting used to at first don't they mate but they look good :)
Just a bit of getting used to! Takes me about 4 attempts to reverse it into the garage at the moment :lol:
:lol:
You'll get there mate
Lined it up in one mirror the other day and reversed not looking in the other mirror and was about an inch off hitting the wall!! :lol: Might get the hang of it soon (hopefully!).
Looking good Si! They electric or manual?
Aaah cool, thanks Daz! :D
Yer they are electric ones, just wire up into the wires which are used my the standard mirrors. :)

how much did you pay for the mirrors + spraying :?:
Si's is lowered 30mm on Eibachs.
I can't comment on the mirrors as he bought them from Chewy :wink:
how much are they brand new :?:
how much are they brand new :?:
Electric DTMs are around £90.
them dtm's cost me £120 about a year ago.lets just say i let si have them cheap :)
out of interest :lol...who got shafted for a grand for colour coding?
:lol: a grand.si took me about 2 weeks to get used to reversing then you will be chucking it round
Got a good deal on the DTMs from Chewy ;)
Yer and as Ka$h said its on -30mm eibachs just looks lower in some pix as the way it is parked.
I'd quite like to change my wheels if I ever get enough money spare. What do you think??

SI,
If you get round to selling your wheels for a good price PM me.
I have been looking at relex's, and would buy them if you were wanting a resonable price for them.
Think your motor looks class!! :o
