They were not meant to release the photos 'till I told them

Some one is for the chop!

Looks pretty good, actually

'Toughens' up the slightly soft RAV4.3 look, IMO and I am liking that interior

[dave.m]

Dont know why Americans have this fascination about lowering cars, I would rather have a lift kit and get it up a few inches

[local hero]

I'd just be happy with a few inches

funny one - we wis jist thinking of lowering number 1 to see how it handles.

However it will wait til number 2 is ready...and the polybushes come from the states for number 1.

Number 1 now sports a Momo steering wheel - think its the 88 model....black suede and 320mm - nice and easy to handle! Problem is now that yours truly canna get into the seats for another few days due to the garden mesh taking time to knit in wi the guts!!!

(Aye - n 'ave got the fly spray ready!)

Back home again now, got to say dave thats a stunning piece of kit looks like every body panel has been altered, as to whether I'd like it or not as my own car would love those wheels, but not sure about the ride with those tyres, would love it as a second Rav though

[dave.m]

Agree with Hoovie, smart interior the exterior ? Think the jury is still out, probably the rear end is best.

[Hoovie]

I have to make a confession - the Rear Door of the RAV4 just doesn't look right to me without the spare wheel

I think because without the spare, it 'should' be symmetrical Maybe could have incorporated the handle in the centre trim part to even it out?

Great shame they didn't make the spare an no cost-option (or even a cost-option!) rather then just removing it.

I do like the full length glass roof (nearly got a full-length Wesbasto cloth roof fitted on my HR-V but chickened out having such a big hole made in it)

i like the inside!

hate the bumper at the back!

the side looks ok too

Think it might be a bit longer than a few days Bothy- I walked to the shops very gingerly after about 5 days on my ubik, and was overtaken by an old gizzer who must have been 80 plus .....I felt like asking him if I could borrow his walking stick

Kingo

haven't tried the walking bit yet - was going to make an effort today. Chauffeured round in the Punto yesterday - father is 89 and better as a ? - not pleasant. Off to see the nurse later !

why does this RAV have 5 doors

[Fujisan]

Sorry hate the front!

Not a big fan of aftermarket plastic add-ons anyway

Lowered SUV - why?

Interior, not bad :P
