my rover 220D is coming out of the garage...again (just had new nearside caliper replaced - bottom slide was rusty to ****) and now that the mechanical side of it is now ok, i want to start modifying it.
So far the only modifications i have done are a set of dynamics 15" (I know i know small!!!) and the front grille now has mesh. i am doing something very controversial and going to spray the mesh black, but leave the outer grille chrome still. Im also spraying the bottom mesh black as well as its going a bit rusty. (My rover 220D is charcoal i think the colour is called).
Anyway i want to make a few modifications to the car. Nothing mental like huge bumpers and spoilers that make the car look like a pram. I want some subtle but effective body modifications. Im thinking along the lines of ZR sideskirts, front splitter and rear diffuser. Also a new back box for the exhaust to liven it up a bit.
Alloy wheels are first on my list. A nice set of 17" alloys should do. Then i want to get some new suspension sorted and have a drop of around 30mm.
An alloy spoiler fixed onto the bog standard spoiler with built in brake light is also in the pipeline
So my questions are:
Can anyone suggest a good set of body styling stuff other than mynheer stuff? Bit over the top for me - only want subtle but effective!
Whats the best choice for lowering my rover around 30mm and what price am i looking at???
Thanx in advance
