Update - got my coilovers on. Went for FK numbers, fairly solid ride. Need to wind the front down a touch I think.
Also got a gloss black MK6 rear VW emblem.
Some crap iPhone pics as normal





Still need vw centres - once I've the wheels off for them I'll prob take off the mud guards or at least the rears. They scrape coming in and out the drive anyway.
Comments welcom as always

think I may have to wind my coilovers up. Getting a fair bit of scraping.
I'll try the screw arch removal mod 1st, if that doesn't help I'll try them up 5mm or so.

Those arches look nice and tight at that height.

The badge looks surprisingly good too! Not usually a fan of blacked badges (not that it matters).

Got to agree. They are on my wishlist. Transform the look of the front end for me

Cheers, Dan. I don't want to raise it as I love the way it looks so hopefully I'll just get away with removing the arch liner screw.

Finally got some VW centres. Look a lot better than the gash silver/chrome that were on.
