Re: So, what do you think......

Looks spot on... maybe some bigger alloy's though?

Take it the ones you have on are 17's? Maybe some Octy vRS 18's would finish it off?

MK2 Octy alloys won't fit

Looks cool, although is your missus going to be happy with the distinct loss of comfort?

She has as Panda 100HP mate, with the 17's the Roomy is luxury for her a drop would be no problem, especially if I can stretch to fsd's as opposed to just springs mate.

Re: So, what do you think......

Like that - has a bit more of a 'Euro' slam coilover look to it though, rather than replicating a lowered spring look. Like always, you can easily get a bit carried away in PS

Like the wheels too, just right size IMO. Wonder what they'd look like on a Fab Mk1, seeing as they've kept with a 5x100? Isn't the offset a bit higher though, high 40s IIRC?

No mate, they are very similar but they are the 17" upgrade alloys for the scout, can't remember the name though

Re: So, what do you think......

Sorry but I believe this has got to be said;

I agree this goes beyond the Scout ethos. The car is a Scout not a vRS .....

Suspension should be raised and fatter tyres fitted (on the 17s), not lowered!
