Yep the Coupe's going in to my local Performance Car shop to get lowered today.

My birthday present from my better half, Pi -35mm lowering springs (thankyou Countrycruising)are going on plus my new HKS BOV and a Pipercross oil breather.

Needless to say it's 7.00am and I'm too excited to sleep anymore and it doesn't even go into the garage for another 2 hours lol

The results will be posted in the form of photos asap!

\:D Wish it luck!

I got my coop lowered for my Xmas from the fiancee. Makes such a difference in terms of handling but watch out for speed bumps and multi storey car park ramps. I've scraped on a couple where previously I didn't even think about

Enjoy ;\)

Great looking Coop. Is it on a private plate or is it a 96 reg car?

Incredible condition if it is 12 years old!

Yes indeed Mark!

It's officially a 1995 car, a very clean one at that!

I'm very happy with it!

Lovely 16VT, and the alloys in black really set it off! only thing I didn't like was the green fiat badge.



Coopless!
