I kinda like these zooks. Yes I am weird.

For £500 the mods I would do are GV coils and longer shocks, gives 2" of lift with no need to correct castor angles. Then some fatter tyres, say 30/31". With your spare dosh paint the car yourself. My last respray cost a tenner.

Love it! I have a silver one in my driveway at the moment I'm contemplating turning into a OrO, as for the colour I think you should totally rock the pink! Go for some form of anti-Barbie look haha, I mocked up what I mean just now with the amazing photorealistic editing software called snapchat ;)

Blimey mate that looks........Have you ever considered Graphic design.

A tenner for a respray good going mate. I was looking at this plasti dip spray last night and considering that.

Can i ask about the tyres. The standard size says 195/65 R15 what size would or should i get for my car to help with height but not compromise to much with its drive on road as i will be driving this to work.

Also i have been told this would be good for the lift.http://www.jimnybits.co.uk/shop/vitara- ... _1528.html

Cheers.

Pinky has just arrived. The mrs is having Kittens and moaning like mad at me. I have had to put a cover on it outside my garage because she is embarrassed by it.

It needs a fair bit of body work for sure but not to worried by that. The exhaust has a slight blow and the fan belt squeaks and i think what is common for these the electric windows are slow and not working.

That kit seem a bit pricy. Never heard of them either and you shouldn't need camber adjusting bolts. I bet you could get all that for half the price on Ebay. Get 4 KYB shocks for maybe £80 new and some used GV coils, should be very cheap and there you go!

You'll be surprised mate, I bought a brand new 2" lift kit from rhino rays about 6 years ago ( 4x 2" springs, pro comp rear shocks and front shock extensions) and needed camber bolts even though I was told it will all settle.

For some reason some 2" springs do kick the toe angle a bit others don't but I got a feeling some of them are stiffer than others.
