Nice car bro, very keen to see some pics of the car with the new wheels on as I want to fit wheels with similar offsets to my Jetta but 19's it is also Graphite blue  :happy2:

UPDATE: Got my new springs through from www.coilsprings.co.uk and they are spot on :D
•   Fitted new springs on the front
•   Removed rear adjusters
•   Removed 5mm spaces from rear
These are the results 













Also found the rear arches are a mess from running the 5mm spacers so need that sorting out 



Need to lower the front more as got about 10 more turns but driveshaft is knocking on the chassis as it is so will get it notched and wound all the way down  asap!!!!
Also won a front bumper off Ebay for £20 so been having a go at smoothing that but will wait until its sprayed to add pictures :D
C&C please like to know what you people think ;)

where does the driveshaft hit exactly?? if you lower it to much you may end up with it hitting the discharge pipe from the turbo and get a boost leak.
Looks good though  :happy2:
Have you considered painting the protectors on the doors in a colour that resembles the rimedges?? just to lighten the look of the car?

Over the top mod list ;o)

Wish i had a turbo haha, its a 1.6 FSI lol its hitting the chassis leg but starting to make its own notch now :D

I have a few ideas going around in my head just going to get it sitting better first then do the body work etc
