Diffuser looks awesome too, keen to see a full photo of the back

Yeah I'm going to try get a good photo this weekend, definitely going to do the TTS cover as you said it will really finish off the engine bay.
I'm thinking of doing the same design as this one, really like the colour combination, yellow suits blue well IMO:

Thanks buddy going to make a few changes soon, really want to get a splitter on the front but I'm worried that it will just get destroyed! Couldn't agree more, gloss black and rising blue is awesome

Indeed it is and you have exactly the same car! Same name too I presume?

Use to. Had to sell that one. Hopefully back in one soon though

Really love this pic, car looking awesome ...A front lip in gloss black would be a nice touch, I have the Kerscher CF lip which I sprayed gloss black...Just need to lower mine but because no-one can really tell me by how much H&R springs will drop the R Im worried that I wont be able to get into my driveway

The R is 10mm lower than the gt as standard. H&R springs will drop you another 25mm.

Exactly what I figured but some people still seem to quote the H&R specs of 30/35mm whenever I ask them about the drop...My stock measurement from ground to the top of the arch is as follows...Front 678mm and Rear 682mm, so would it be fair to assume that after the drop it would be, Front 653mm and Rear 657mm...My apologies for being sooooo exact but I need to be because I currently have like a 30mm clearance between the ground (at its lowest point of the driveway) and the front lip so if Im off by 5-10mm I could have a problem...

You could compensate the loss of ride height after fitting lowering springs with wider tires. 245 width instead of 235 would gain approx 0.5 cm in height.
Of course, rims et have to be checked not to rub on arches.

Exactly what JoJoReynolds said, it differs slightly by a few mm as they all settle different but mine didn't drop too much.. I actually want it lower but my driveway can accommodate it lol
