How to slighty improve looks of vrs!

[callaghan]

Hi guys,

have a candy white vrs on the 18"neptunes, i got the back 3 qindows tinted from new, not the factory job as my salesman advised against it!! its done in a 'medium' tint!

Anyway i am wondering would a set of eyelids suit the car! if anybody would be so kind as to post up a pic of their pride and joy with them i'd be chuffed!!

Also i would like to lower the car slightly just to give it more of an agressive look, maybe 35-40 mm,but i dont really want to lose the comfort ffactor of the car!! anh suggestions,tips??

Thanks in advance!!

Matt black or colour coded grill.

Discreet black splitter (search).

Tints - already done.

Black Neptunes - already done.

Not a fan of eyelids (look a little 'Halfords' for me). I also quite like the standard ride height but know I am in the minority.

Do these eyelids include the 'lashes?

Don't do it !

Oooh nice

Mines down around 35mm on h and r springs looks about right

I consider myself to have a very laid back 'each to their own' outlook but have an overwhelming urge to torch any car I see with those. There are two nearby - one pink, one silver and IIRC they are both micras......

Its the same urge i get hen i see someone (particularly adult males) wearing those riddiculous ndubz hata with the stringy bits down the side and maybe a pom pom on them. car bras are pretty high up the list too........

The F/L Vrs actually needs nothing done to improve its looks. It's perfect

looks well nice!! heres no point lowering them too much!!

Lowering 40mm is a significant drop.

Most spring kits wont go that low so you'd be looking at coilovers i'd expect, although H&R do a "comfort" cup kit that's listed as -50mm (so would lower a vRS about 35mm).

Not a fan of eyebrows personally, well not on cars anyway..

My old car ran lower than the current one, very good ride comfort on weitec coilovers:

That's what mines on above there -50mm so around 35mm drop on vrs

LOL car bras.

Stupid question but - WTF are car bras for? Im assuming stone chip prevention but some have bumps on them at the top leading edge. What on earth are the bumps for? Wind deflection?

Im assuming a car bra is this vinyl thing at the front of cars as if not please enlighten me.

Paint the wheels black every one else does!

Make it look "scene"

I bought mine used about 4 months ago...Candy white, 18" Neptunes....and interestingly the previous owner had the back 3 windows tinted - aftremarket job though......as in my avatar. To be honest, I'm quite happy about the way it looks.....at least for now!!!!

PRE fl makes it look like its got a lazy eye.

FL ones work well as it reduces the "bulbous" part of the light. Not that i hate FL lights just that the eye brow looks more effective on this version IMO.

Fl eyebrows make it look more angry. Think they look good. Any one up for photoshoping them onto a race blue? I dont have any photo shop skills.

I doubt many of us bought the Octy on looks alone.
