Welcome It's good to have another Jetta on here Look forward to seeing what you do to it.

[DanMaytee]

Welcome mate :).  As Shane said, always good to see more Jettas :D

[phillips]

Cheers Guys, it will be a slow process 

[phillips]

So what coilovers would people recommend? Never used them before as had lowering springs on the toledo.

Starting to do my research but don't want to part with more than £500 when the time comes to buy some.

[DanMaytee]

For that price I'd recommend some Apex RDX if you're wanting something that handles good and goes low.  Or Some AP coilovers if you're not bothered about major lows but want something that's going to be comfy.  I'm actually going for some Apex as soon as I have the cash :).  I'm currently on Fk Streets and they go really low but are quite harsh to be fair.

[phillips]

Thanks for the info I'm not fussed about mega lows its more about handling with comfort  40 - 50mm max would do me

Welcome to the slippery slope of modding, after only 1 week you have a list.
I was running on B12 kit and just had the RDX's fitted and its a lovely ride and I'm on 18's

Roof bars & tow bar, do you feel you need more storage?

Looking forward to seeing where this goes

[Wooosh]

Welcome mate, sounds like you have good plans for this & great colour choice.

Stanipkiss I run a kayak group so once a month during summer periods I have 12 kayaks on / attached to my car. As well as running other trailers about (WWW.KEWPADDLERS.CO.UK) sorry admin if not allowed to put this link up 


After cleaning it on Sunday it's also in need of a proper detail as I cannot to be bothered to spend the am punt of time it needs machine polishing it to get the swirls out :(

I did find the AP ones for £433 :) and from what I've seen the rdx ones take me over budget

[DanMaytee]

RDX's can be had here for £462 :)

Ah i see, I fitted a witter detachable swan neck towbar last year as I tow a trailer tent.
Call Damian @DPM he sold me mine for £455 inc postage.

[phillips]

Tow bar got fitted a few weeks ago pretty pleased with how discreet it is. Mrs bought me some 18" Zenith wheels today from a chap on briskoda I did have to contribute some money towards them. Wheels are an early birthday present as its my 25th in a few weeks :) Tyres were shot on the old wheels so needed to put them on 





Before:



After:



Does need lowering but think that could be looking at next year with needing the cambelt and DSG service later this year.
