Looks nice mate ....Ive dropped mine a measly 30mm on p1 shocks n springs- I,m on 15s a far as wheels are concerned . My car looks a little like the front end could do with at least 20mm more lowering , but ( if you havent noticed already ) the rides now much better in handling and sits almost on rails BUT THE RIDES SO MUCH MORE STIFFER . Everyone whos got in it has said how bumpy the ride can sometimes be , in fact one family memeber called it a shopping trolley.Mind you the roads around my home town of Bedford have made the press - they are that bad !! I suppose to strike a happy medium of comfort over looks , the comfort has to be my first option , therefore I wont be going any lower .Ive also heard of bodykits ( skirts in particular ) filler dropping out and cracking because of the extreme vibration dropping more than 40mm causes ?? The shocks Ive had put on came off a Corsa , and its left me wondering ( because the hieght , dropped but not a great deal ) is a corsa engine heavier than a bog standard 1.2 ??Would the overall look have been more at home on the corsa ?? Sadly I dont know the engine size of the Corsa .......so I doubt I,ll ever know if this is relevant..
Looks good mate - get the dent sorted , tart up any minor body bits in the need then , buff it - big style . :)

The handling should be better so dont worry too much about how it looks until you have the money for new springs.

Looks alright mate but like said before 40mm hardly touches a nova 60mm and lower is the best. But u defo need uprated dampers with 60mm springs.
