Very nice mate, The red piping on the lower valance is interesting,
The beige interior reminds me of my Mk4 gti, i loved it but got dirty quickly especially in winter.

Love the car, esp with the beige interior on a black car.

Yep, nice stance. Maybe some cheeky spacers on the rear though?

Yeah, forgot to add spacers and new tail lights to my list 
Tho I might end up just tinting the stock lights.

hi mate looks awesome. I want to lower mine but have a couple of questions.
does it alter the ride much and how much did it cost all in
cheers mate

[red-snake]

how did you get that red line in the back bumper

[stealthwolf]

I wonder if it's a vinyl strip. Greeners did the same mod on his car a good while back.

Ride is not that much different in every day use (comfortable wise) but the drop made the car alot firmer. I bought the springs from ebay for about 180€ delivered (from Germany to Finland) and fitting the springs + wheel alignment was 150€.

Definately go for it mate!

how did you get that red line in the back bumper

It's a 5mm vinyl strip. It was very easy to apply. Bought enough for 4 tries and ended up getting it right the first time 



I was thinking about attaching a small red "GTI" sticker to the side (lower rear). Haven't found the exact type Im looking for yet. I just want the car to follow the same theme on every side.  Stickers and vinyl strips are cheap and nice way to make your car look more unique and you can always remove them if you get bored with em 


Oh and thanks Tara! It is the fastest colour

nice one mate im going to give it a try
