Yeah, and they look tiny on it as the arches are a bit too big.

Need to add another thing to the list now - get radio/nav fixed. Calfed it the other morning which is annoying...

Front and rear factory struts - bought
factory 5 piece mats - bought
boost gauge - bought
c pillar brace - bought
broadway mirror
gearstick extender
other quirky jap stuff

and a new starlet to fit them all to, just hoarding parts at the moment until i see one i like. decided in the end not to fit the bits i have to my black one as what makes it unique is that it hasn't been made "unique".

got a TRD instrument cluster last night for a steal of a price!

Just paid for a set of msport side skirts, must get them sprayed and fitted.

Then I must look out for an msport rear bumper.

Then a set of msport springs.

LED rear lights.

Paint correction/enhancement with the DA has to be done shortly as well!

Don't bother, you're wasting your time.

Any e46 springs left out there are probably nearing their end of life, particularly considering it's a car known for breaking OE (rear) springs.

Get a set of Eibach springs. Don't cost the earth, they'll be brand spanking new, give a nice amount of lowering and will probably handle much better than some tired OE springs.

Was hoping to keep costs as low as possible, msport springs seemed like a nice cheap upgrade. I suppose it's false economy if they snap after 1000 miles.

I have been looking at eibach sportlines and pro kits also. Only reservation with them is the fear they will increase my insurance premium.

Any idea if lowering springs are a loading for insurance?

Dependent on insurer.
Ring and ask. You need to declare them anyway to have valid insurance

On my Chaser todo list;
Put on rear spoiler, install rear seatbelts. Install double din head unit. Change timing belt and water pump, change out all fluids. I will need new side skirts eventually. Change all 4 tires to E mark part works, continentals or Dunlop. Hope to get this done before Christmas.
