Lowered GP
Me too! This GP looks great. I think the KW Clubsport coil-overs come in a GP specific size.
Little bit of an update...
Eibach adjustable top mounts fitted
Eibach Adjustable rear control arms fitted
Corner weighted
Rota Blitz 17 x 7.5 et 35 wheels
Sportcontact 5 tyres
Camber set to -1.5 deg front and rear

The seats are Recaro Pole Positions.
The airbag sensors have been "fooled" by fitting some sort of resistor to the bit that plugs into the lead attached to the original seats. I believe this part was sourced from Mini....I didn't fit them myself but that's what it says on the invoice.
Hope that helps.

No. They are half leather / half suede and they had to be specifically ordered from Recaro and had a 6 week lead time.....although the aftermarket seats are faux leather and faux suede however, they are of a very good quality.
Very nice! What offset are those BBS RCs? I just bought some BBS RCs 16x7.5 et 35, but I know they come in multiple sizes and offsets. If they fit like that I'll be happy. Also, what size tire do you have there?

Hmm, I guess my wheels might poke out a little more, which worries me, but only by about 2.5 mm. Hopefully I that's too small to notice the difference. Thanks for the info!
Doubtful......you should be fine.
The 11mm spacers take mine from et42 to et31.
Fantastic. The wheel color looks great on the GP.
My wheel width and offset will be the same as your Roat Blitz, actually, which is good, because that looks just about perfect, too.
Have you had to trim the arches to go that low? I'll be getting 215/45 tires (though I'll be running 16's), so I might have more issues than you.
