if u are goin 60mm get some proper shocks with springs its such a bouncy ride and in about 6months you would have to replace your shocks anyway.

I'd just get a new backbox mate, it would prob work out cheaper once you sell your existing one. Euro cars do not look standard, they are subtle but IF you actually look properly and you will notice the amount of work that has gone into them...
To be honest I cant stand big fiberglass stuff, its been done to death and with the release of films like F&F and 2F2F its bought the whole Jap Import thing super-mainstream and completely killed it off. I dont understand why people STILL want the 'look at me' factor, why not stick a great big flashing neon and siren on the roof... 
Definatley go euro mate, its the way things are going...

I couldn't agree more - well put 
At the end of the day everyones entitled to their own opinions, thats the good thing about it all but it still baffles me how people can call euro styling plain or boring - some of the work that goes into really modified euro cars is incredible!

Yup, also what tends to happen a lot is that people who are on a budget, who cant afford 17's and go for 15's and dont do a lot of bodywork etc label themselves as being 'euro'? I think this is why people sterotype 'euro' as being standard and boring which is far from the true defenition of 'euro'.
Opel/Vauxhall is a European car, so why then do people stick 'hard-edged' Japanise kits on them? It baffles me & to be honest unless your under 20 years old driving around in a big-kitted 'look-at-me' OTT hot hatch feels embarrising  . Just my oppinion though guys.
Thanks for the positive feedback.

i think your car looks nice thomas but as you say,alot of people who class their car as euro have just done half a job and not put much effort into it. i dont see any proper euro cars in my area simply because the people who have attempted it have only put a set of 15's on and slammed it!
