Ok its finally happened got together with a mate on a saturday after putting an emergency order for king springs in on the friday and we lowered the verada and put the mags on that i bought off vrxbeachboy. Hope you all like it as i reken its a hell of an improvement over stock would like 18"s but yeh money dont grow on trees.
Fronts have king superlows, and rears are king lows, might get them compressed if i want it lower in a month or so. Mags are 17" by 7. Stay tuned for an exhaust on it soon.
comments please

tried but without rear pod skirts it didnt look that good and inside of the rear bumper has nothing pulling it into the car to make it look flush if i take them off, might look into it later though.

Don't forget us little people when you move up. We live for the hand me downs we watch on each and every cruise.

Pretty tidy if i do say so myself, Ive always had a soft spot for the Verada...

I think you will loose the flaps soon as now u have lowered it they will be the first thing to scap and before long they will look crap as they start wearing away...

Looks good, m8. :cool:

IMO mudflaps don't necessarily detract from the look of the car. It depends on the car itself, wheels, amount of lowering, whether you want a classy or a mean look, and other factors like.......stuff. :nuts:

Are the mudflaps painted? Doesn't look like it but I could be wrong.

Might be an idea if you don't want to get rid of them. Will only set you back round $50 for all of them through a good pannel beater.

its mine
slightly different as the rims are photochopped onto the car thus the red brake callipers from the ex ower of the rims. But the car is the same one, might be slighly lighter as its had a respray since that photo was taken
cheers

might be doing them this weeknd actually as i have to change my brake pads so i might as well do them while they are off. How many coats of paint will i need and how long does it take to dry?
Also tempted to color code the inside with red highlights if i can be bothered, its looking far too stock at the moment.
