haven't driven it after lowering it. as you can se no license plates. No problems, but i had to take the whole suspension out, not just the springs.

Lookin' good Mexos, not so sure about the rear clusters.. but then again standard ones wouldn't look any better on a car that colour ....with ya on the experimenting with Red tinted clusters tho, might be even better than Black!

keep it subtle man, its lookin' nice!! why people go for big mods I dunno, subtle is so much better.. especially when the car looks so good as standard, eh? ;) thats one thing the MX-3 certainly does!!

I agree with you Snallgrove, although I wish it was a wee bit more responsive on the throttle. Could have been nice with 165 bhp (KL-DE) or even whooping 200 bhp(KL-ZE)!

could not agree more. But then again, it would be a lot more expensive to ensure.

mmm when it comes to performance, well its all hidden in the bay.. an outlandish, mad engine is fine lol, I just prefer subtle looks.. keep it stealthy.. no one will expect it to suddenly shoot off nice and fast! 8)

I think the MX-3 has a VERY resonsive throttle though, hardly have to push on the Go Pedal, to make the revs fly up and off we go! absolutely love the way it drives, feels very sporty.

Looking at my MX-3, I reckon if you get standard looking cluster colours apart from the indicators, - get them red... and it'd look real good 8)

Depends on the colour red tho... I dunno, difficult aint it :lol:

and with insurance, yeah.. my car is staying very much OEM!! its horrendously expensive to insure as it is... luckily I like it standard lol (wow, Mexos..your only 17!! :o nice one, owning a car like that at such a young age! and its the V6 one! 8) )

the front had to be sprayed again anyway so it dosen't matter. The paint didn't stick to the bumper so it fell off when i washed the car the first time :lol:
