The all reds look nice! I had a play about with a few different rears on mine, I tried Fifft reds and Postie rears but decided to stick to the originals.
The pic below is a Fifft red next to a standard rear lense, I bet they'd look nice on a black Sportline.

The FIFFT ones are nice, that's the look I was going for…

A couple more pics of if lowered on the front with FK springs, new Febi mounts and Powerflex bumpstops, oh and not forgetting the rear lights and fresh 6 months tax…
Apologies for the iPhone quality pics..

I meant to say I got the gaiter thanks but I also got the handbrake cover and handbrake handle cover as well from them.
My big bonus is, I got sent 2 sets so I have another set for my black one :-)
Here's a pic of the handbrake, I think it looks much better than the plastic bit ??

Well, bit of an update, fitted some new wheels today, so took a few snaps after a short drive to settle the suspension…
Look forward to hearing your thoughts..

Wheels really suit your car but IMO I would have it a bit lower just to shut the arch gap :-)
Saying that though, on my black one I am thinking about keeping it standard suspension wise !!
So just ignore me ;-)
OR get a red one as well and have one low and one standard

Lol, I do have some rear spring that I will fit in due course.
Only the front has lowering springs for now as I wanted to even the height out as it was lower on the rear.
The thing about dropping it further just worries me as I don't want arch fouling as I have a car full sometimes.
There were five of us in it yesterday and I want to keep it practical and useable with the family.
It has certainly settled further since the pics, but yes it could do with a tad more lowness…

Its always a problem, the standard ride height is spot on for comfort, for the 400 miles I've just driven back from London on standard suspension, its been great and much better than my red car but the red one fits better IMO with the -35mm drop.
