Oh dear. Appear to be have lowered by somebody that a) doesn't know how to lower them properly or b) doesn't know how to make a car handle properly.
It might attract attention but you might as well remove the torsion bars as it won't be using them to provide the springing - it will be the bumpstops. That back axle will be knackered in no time. All the load from bumps that should be getting absorbed by the torsion bars will be getting absorbed the bumpstops and axle bearings instead.
It's rear end down too meaning more air goes underneath creating lift meaning less grip and stability at speed. The rough underside it exposed to the airflow too meaning it will be slower as well.

Looks nice but surely that's ruined the great handing of the 180 by going that low?
Also had any problems with the numberplate?
Clear indicators, de-wiper and Aero wipers would finish it off great!

It's lowered 60mm at the back and in my opinion it looks a lot better than my mates White 206 hdi that was brought off a staff member off here that is lowered 40mm. You've got to realise that it's on my drive which is on a hill and is resting on the handbrake which is making it look alot lower than it actually is, I do understand your logic though and it does make sense
