looking good raz - will need to have a look next time your up to see how the ride is as I'm tempted to lower mine soon too  :happy2:
Deffo bro!

It might be a bit different on a gti as im on normal tdi shocks. But you will get the idea of the drop.

Not bad for £100 springs

@scottymon

To be honest i have never had brand new tyres all round, i had 4 different tyres  before so i was getting noises, rubbish braking distance and wheels spinning in the rain when taking off at the lights.

Since then i can feel the car being grippy even in the wet. The springs finish the driving experience nicely especially with less body roll

Looks good Raz. Now save up for some sports shock absorbers cause the OEM ones are gonna die rapidly.

Small update

Tinted my fog lights yellow. Think it gives a nice look and matches my yellow high beams bulbs

This is what i'm doing mate, just waiting on the yellow bulbs to turn up, do they look proper yellow front on? I needed to make my front end more interesting. I was going to ting the fogs but bought some glass coating instead, not sure what's best....

The yellow bulbs only look yellow when looking straight on, not from an angle.


The yellow tinting film was quite good. It was thick. Just make sure you have a hairdryer at hand as it can be difficult getting the air bubbles out.
