hey guys finally got my car lowered by 2 inches but doesn't look to me like much of a change lol I used escort lowering blocks on the back and chopped the front springs, I decided to chop the springs mainly because of cost but also because loads of people say its ok and loads say it isn't so i decided to find out for myself, and i dont thinks it too bad but i will be getting some proper springs when i get paid by work, apart from lowering the only other things i have done are spraying up some of the trim loads left still to do, sprayed up the wheels (white) but will need a touch up soonish and got hold of a 3 door glt interior. so what you all think?? excuse the paintwork lol still working on that point.
Am gonna have ago at making my own door cards this week but haven't a clue where to start lol anyone got any ideas??
Cheers Dan.

Just a quick update started spraying the trim around the windows today, it used to be chrome from what i remember but over time had gone nasty grey so out came the paint, only got one side done today so will get the other done tomorrow(hopefully). Anyways got some pics of what i did so here they are for your amusement lol.
All covered in tape and newspaper to stop me spraying the body.
First coat of primer on
After several primer coats on with the flat black
After several flat black coats i removed everything and this was the end result, far better then before imo, i also sprayed the plastic which runs along the top of the windows, by now it was dark so excuse the poor pic.

Hmm may have ago with it, but there isn't much paint left on her lol, if you look around the boot and along the edges some places you can see where the paint has rubbed down to the primer. So i am thinking of leaving it as is paint wise and getting everything else sound and then giving her a re spray.

Leave the paint alone! It looks like it's been done satin red on purpose
I was going to suggest some 15s to help it look lower (smaller gap to the arch), but those rims look cool as.
