A local place to me - prospray.

They did an amazing job of a respray I needed on my boot. Truly first class job.

Ah yes they are in Warrington, had a some paint from them before when I has my hard top sprayed for my MGTF, they were the only guys who could make the paint up because it was a rare colour.

They look excellent, in my opinion better than gloss black.

I almost went for black but was worried about losing visibility of the wheel detail.

Really pleased with them!

Yes agree and you don't want to loose the definition they need to stand out as they are excellent alloys. If I did mine it would be the same colour definitely.

The anthracite works really well with the Viper green - big fan

Was thinking of doing the same with my Candy White, but still need some more convincing. Would probably work if I vinyl wrapped the roof as I'm planning at some point...

I'm halfway through my list of changes for my car, and will be ticking off another one tomorrow

1.) Revo Remap Stage 1 - Done
2.) Bulbs changed for "Whiter" versions - Done
3.) Front lower spoiler painted (as done previously by Candy Monster) - fitting tomorrow
4.) Lowered 35mm
5.) Vinyl wrap the diffuser (and possibly roof) gloss black

Just replaced dip & main beam headlight bulbs for Xenon gas bulbs, took me about 5mins, well worth it, looks awesome.

Photo'd the Fuel Flap Emergency Release method for a "How to" while investigating the rear right brake sticking/parital working. Found the rear right caliper piston was stuck. Free'd off and did the other three wheels while the tools were to hand. Waxed the inner wheel surfaces for winter.

If you use springs ACC will still work. It won't with coilovers unless you buy the kw's or bilstein's with ride control (expensive).

Springs will lower about 25-30mm and ACC will still work as normal (comfort/normal/sport). Lower than that you'll need coilovers. The ride will probably be a bit firmer than on stock but with better body control. For the KW's or Bilsteins with the ride control you'll be looking at about £2000 - £2500 ish. If it doesn't matter how much you're spending I'd go with the Bilsteins.
