@giantkiller. now all you need is that 15mm front ans 35mm rear drop from H&R (springs only). you can do it yourself and don't need an allignment after completion. Ask limited-one (user here) if you have any questions. http://picasaweb.google.de/smartipercy/Coupe451 these are his pics.

Here is a Lorinser Wide body kit that will be available in 4-6 weeks here in the states I am told. Availble here at Wheel Specialists.

I like the look of the lorinser kit but they look like someone just glued on a kit. They should've been molded into a whole new fender set. Especially @ their prices

The white with silver posted on the previous page is one of the nicest combos. Makes me rethink my blk w/ silver.

The wheels are also top notch. Can't think of any other wheel that would look better.

I ordered the wheels from Tunershop Las Vegas they are very helpful and I believe the cheapest.

Hauser - I've got the same color combo as you, and I have to agree that the picture of the white/silver is pretty sweet. That's the good thing about our smarts; in time, we can trade out our panels, and make it look just like the one in the picture. I do think that if you put those rims on your (or my) smart, picked just the right lighting and angle, and you'd come up with a fairly awesome shot as well.

I made some phone calls yesterday and the vendor tried to talk me out of the 17's and into the 16's. Same wheel just different dimensions.

Earlier today I spoke with a different supplier and they told me that if I were to go with the larger diameter wheels I would have to modify the struts?

Would someone please shed some light on this?

In the event I did go with 16's what tire sizes would I go with? BTW the Spaceline dimentions in the smaller diameter are as follows.

6.5x16 fr
7.0x16 r

Slightly off topic. Giant Killer can you tell me what in on the back portion of your roof? It looks like some type of vortex generator?

At first glance when I viewed your pics in the gallery section I mistook it for the end tips of an old roof antenna found on most homes before cable and dish receivers.
