LOL at:
a) the cheap tacky stickers
b) the exhaust
c) the Stevie Wonder - esque roof
d) the damage to your sills
e) the impracticality of your car
f) your stupidity at driving said impractical car into a multistorey car park

How do sparks coming from the car being low dictate how good the driver is ? A few cars going up the hill at Goodwood:FOS sparked i guess they cant drive...

because if you choose to have your car that low you should know how to drive it carefully.
and a race spec car going round a race track making sparks is not the same as someone driving round the roads in a slammed 206..

Driving carefully ? Its not about driving carefully ? You can drive carefully and still bottom out its about the road your driving on !

what are you on about its all about driving carefully. sparks just make it look like youve gone too fast over a certain bump.. making it appear that you dont know how to drive. your average joe that doesnt know alot about modifications wont know youve got titanium tips fitted..
i said thats what passes through my head anyway. so you can argue your case all day, ill still think its stupid

#40: Re: had a bad idea Author: Jay794, Location: Sheffield/Chesterfield/DronfieldPosted: Thu Jul 21, 2011 5:57 am ---- It's also illegal if you're getting sparks, means you're damaging the road surface, won't take long for the police to have a word and remove a few £100's from your wallet

What a stupid,childish comeback!
Clearly they sell cars that arent lowered as standard cause its dangerous to have no or next to no ground clearance. If you choose to lower it then dont come crying on here when it bottoms out and you lose control and kill someone.
Grow up.
#42: Re: had a bad idea Author: arronmee1990, Location: Broughton AstleyPosted: Thu Jul 21, 2011 8:01 am ---- I'm all for lowering cars as mine is fairly low but I've never even scrapped the sills as I don't drive like an idiot. You need to concentrate more when driving and read the road. Why did you even try and get into somewhere where you know you'll get stuck?!
Just get some bigger wheels and your problem will be solved. Those wheels are awful anyway
