What set-up is this please?

Hi all, I'm new to the forum as planning an E85 3 litre build some time soon. I prefer to stick with OEM parts and nice (but not slammed) stance. I found this image and despite it being pretty bad, I'm pretty sure it's what I'm after. I found it on google and the page link was to this forum, but the image has disappeared. Does anybody know whose it is/was and what the set up is? Looks to me like the OEM 18's painted black, with an M front bumper, with lowered suspension and possibly some spacers?

Thanks for any help!

Cheers, Ben

As a guess it will probably be the common mod of eibach suspension with 20mm/15mm spacers, alloys look like satin black 107s :thumbsup:
 
That's my car 8)

Lowered on fk springs, satin black 107's spaced 25mm on the rear and ///M front bumper. It wasn't actually spaced in these pics.

Here's better pic's for you:

25mm spacers on the rear here:

Since then, i've raised the height and it's now on eibach springs. I've also added 19's, clear lights all round and no more red calipers. I need some gloss black kidney grilles really, the graphite ones look a bit odd.

Looking good Ben, though I think I might prefer the 18s? Is there a noticeable reduction in ride quality moving to 19" rims?
 
Definitely. Ride is a lot firmer, so I wouldn't recommend it if you enjoy some comfort. I'm going to be going back to the 18's soon.
