Hi Jeth,

Just wondering how you actually lowered the low setting that much.
Looks good, will you use MK1 wings and indicators? or just tint the mk2 indicators orange.
Would you go for the orange/red rear lights also?

That's impressive! Makes my few lumps of foam stuffed under the dash look pretty crap really.
