Thanks again!

The car had a valet today, my pics do it no justice at all though....





Im hoping to get a winter protection detail maybe in the next week or two as well! Can anyone advise the best springs to get? My car is needing lowered quickly!

Thanks, I had heard this off of a few people.

Thats me just purchesed a set, hopefully will get them by the weekend  :smiley:

Do spacers add to the look at all or is it best left standard?

Cheers, Stu.

TBH mate your car will look awesome with the H&R's  :notworthy:

I looks amazing already but lowered with H&R's is how VW should have made em in the first place!
I remember picking mine up after having em fitted at a local Indy, I was grinning like a Cheshire cat for days. Looked better than I expected.
Perfect stance for me anyway :smiley:

I think the spacers would make a difference but I'm not sure if it would be enough to make me do it!
I'd rather buy alloys with a better offset to achieve the look!

It's like when u see the Pescaras next to the BBS VZ's.
Side by side the Pescaras are very nice (I've got em) but the stance of the VZ's look Soooo much bettererer :drool:

Again, VW should have used the VZ wheel specs!

Love the Golf in Steel Grey. My fave colour, tried 2 find one when I was looking for a GT but opted for my silver one because of how mint it was. Some nice mods, looking at H&R's myself. Any idea what they would be like with the 50mm drop?

Thanks again for the good comments  :smiley:

I have a couple of pictures of how the car looks just now, I had it all polished up today but it was too late to take pics so these are from the other day....

My HR purchase from awesome....


And fitted, one behind my brothers polo with its winter wheels on....



My maxogen kit still hasnt arrived as revo are out of stock. I also bought two Parada spec 2 tyres for the front. These look great, I will post pics when they are fitted.

Thanks again  :happy2:

Well I bought 35mm but in all honesty it looks more like 25-30 I think, there are no rubbing issues whatsoever. They make the car feel so much more solid on the road, I would definetly recommend  :happy2:
