Well it passed its MOT  :innocent:

The headlight alignment was a little high apparently!  :ashamed:

The back is on Fk's, and the front still had 1cm ( 5 threads or so ) to go down. But my engine would have been literally on the floor.

I might remove the adjuster from the rear as the FK one is quite big compared to the JOM one... MORE LOWS!  :innocent:

Thanks for your comments  :happy2:

Yeah like I said I'm happy with the rear, I got lots to go on there, it's the fronts I want to go lower.. I bet it's your springs are different, same part number probably just a manufacturing difference.

Re: Chris's Mk5 - GTI International Show Update

Now I have not updated this in a long time! Just been busy with work & not much has happened with the car!

Bought a top vent - travelled to London to get it but worth the transformation.






Few things i've bought but not managed to fit yet...

Chris's Mk5 - Small update 11/03
« Reply #102 on: March 10, 2014, 11:47:31 pm »
Few pictures from last years show season.







Hoping to get the car on track & keep this updated!

I have a highline I need fitting - Its a 974B so its tricky. I know Eddie-NL & Kalu can fit them, but eddie is miles away & Kalu hasn't replied. Anyone else got the knowhow?
