Haha  :signLOL:

Well here as promised some proper pictures!

Sits a little uneven currently as it needs a chassis notch, but that is on the cards..

Pretty happy with how it sits but will get front notched to get it that bit better :)

Looks great!

I didn't get mine notched straight away but after a while it gets more noticeable and annoying!  :grin:

I'm running airlift autopilot v2

Nah not really any issues, biggest problem I had was removing the front struts.

But considering neither of us that installed it are mechanics and we had a basic tool kit and a jack we did well I think doing it outside on the drive.

And I'm based in Lincoln  :happy2:

Yeah really impressed with the kit.

It's really nice well made and put together even the loom is really nice.

I bought from Car Audio Security. Can't recommend them enough helpful when I rang up to order.
Slight delay getting it, but was there delivery that was delayed spoke to another airlift dealer today and seems
They had been waiting a few weeks due to everyone at airlift going to seema.

No pics of boot install I have a few but it's not pretty currently as it's all mounted but needs carpeting and a false floor making.

Ah nice! Yeah I'm planning on getting the autopilot V2. Everyone I've spoke to who has it, loves it!
You running the airlift performance struts and their double bellow rear bags?

That's exactly how I bagged my corsa! Was a fun project. Hopefully the golf will be a good project too!

I'm running the slam struts, not the posh threaded bodied ones.

Yeah was a busy two days fitting it, look forward to going back to work tomorrow for a rest.

Pleased I've done it myself as know how it all works etc, and always been one to try do things myself.

Yeah wheels are currently scattered around my house.

One is currently being used as a clock  :signLOL:



Thought once I had air on I'd be happy. But I'm trying to figure out what brakes I can fit behind these :)

Think I'm going to have to go for the boxter front calipers. As don't think 6 pots will fit :(

Well haven't done much with this recently cept air it out everywhere i go  :signLOL:

Dropped my barrels and faces of at the painters on friday, to be painted.
And hopefully one day next week ill drop my dishes of to be polished, and need to order up the new bolts and nuts. Then figure out tyres.
Also got some adaptors on the way but there 25mm so maybe abit too much  :scared:

Now have two AVS water traps and some pipe to give hardlines ago for my install.

Got home tonight about half 9 and decided to rip the boot out..
So was left out aired with this in boot...


Removed compressors and tank and started carpeting the bottom piece.. and mounted the compressors back on..


Tomorrow ill hopefully paint the tank re-fit that, and get some sound deadening installed in the spare wheel well...
Also made a start on my false floor. Its nearly there but few bits im not happy about, still have to cut out the window for perspex also.. but trying to figure out how i can make it so i can access my water traps i now have.
