Apex Lowering springs were installed. Was not happy with the 35mm drop and the handling was pretty much the same as oem springs.

In came these in the post :P BC Coilovers <3 so worth it! Couldn't wait to get them installed, really wanted to get them on soon as they arrived but wasn't too sure if to DIY or take it to garage.

Guess I chose to DIY :P Was hard work and a long process as I had no power tools. Out came the apex springs with oem strut!

They came with brand new antil roll links which I managed to damage one of them while installing them :/ Didnt have much clue when I was setting the pre load and adjusting the height. It was all trial an error until I got it right

BP jet wash to clean her off after the rain I think in this photo, the rear coilovers were not installed yet. Didnt lower the front too much as I thought the spring should settle first before lowering any more.

Low enough? Before a JDM meet, I wanted to drop her as much as I could! This was pretty much the lowest I could go, without test driving and going straight to the meet, the tyres were rubbing all the way there >< Had to adjust after the meet

Had some work done to the fenders, giving more room for the tyres. Adjusting time I'v adjusted these so much I find it so easy! I think in this photo, there is still 25mm left for me to adjust. That would be deadly on the road, literally have the front bumper on the floor!

Finally I was happy with the set up! Still rub, but only on really fast turning. But its all about Low and Slow with the LOWLIFE! Not always about speed I think if I maxed out the front coilovers, the bumper would touch the black fob of my keys :P

First time buying autoglym product and so impressed with this **********! Detailing clay bar kit for £22.95! So worth it, although its time consuming but wow! The result made it look like a brand new car!

I'm thinking of doing the same with the fog. Which bulbs did you get and from where? (ebay)

I've only had the car for 3 weeks so no mods on yet.
I have the following to put on
Mugen wind deflectors
New floor mats
15" Rota Curcuit 10
Rays wheel nuts

I'm not sure if i should get V1 BC or just springs for now as money is tight because i'm saving up for tints and vinyl wrap.

I'll upload some before and after pictures when I got the time after it's been done.

Got them from ebay, something like these but there should be cheaper ones:
FRENCH YELLOW BULBS H11 711 55W 55 WATT HEADLIGHTS FOGLIGHTS HIGH BEAM LIGHTS | eBay

Where did you get your mugen visors from? I'm trying to source some replica's for cheap can't afford the real ones . I have Apex lowering springs hanging around in the garage at no use if your interested. What you getting vinyl wrapped? Good stuff Can't wait to see yours.

Hey man.. If you don't want your lowering springs send them over my way. for now.. i just need something for looks till i get the V1's aswell just waiting for wife and pay packet after the wrap.

I'm looking to get the following.

White wrap all over
Yellow Fog Lens (like yours)
Carbon Wrap Bonnet
Carbon door pillars
Carbon / chrome (door handles not sure which yet)
Carbon interior

What do you think?

I don't see the point in getting a real carbon bonnet as the bonnet on the jazz is light anyway and i don't wanna have to stash the bonnet somewhere to get scratched.

are the fog bulbs H11?

Sure man I paid £105 for the springs, wont want much for them to be honest. Although I wouldn't know how to post them lol, they pretty heavy.

How much is a full white wrap :P (I really want one done!) if i was to wrap mine i'd leave my bonnet black.
It all sounds good to me...
yeah the car itself is already light so no point in spending so much on carbon bonnet.
yeah the fog bulbs are H11.
You going to any meet ups in your jazz?

wit the springs just put them in a box and use parcel monkey or any courier service. that collects and delivers mate.

Not sure on how much the wrap would be but should be around £500 maybe
Not heard of any jazz meets but would love to go to one.
Not recieved the visors yet but will let you know if and when they arrive mate.

Hmm wonder how much delivery would be..
£500 isnt bad tempted!
Yeah would nice to get all the jazz's together.
Get a picture up of the visors when they come
Yeah H11 plug and play, unless you want HIDs fog lights which you can get but i dont see the point because the yellow bulbs are really bright anyway
