not been cocky there just in case it seems it lol if you mates is lower i'd like to see a pic mine isnt that low on front but i was on bout it been lowest from the back end

Edited by danbinty

Its nice but reverse rake is lame. Get the front lower and you are onto something ;)

And the fact you can still get the jack under it means it can go further :lol:

I like the colour combination though.

i lifted it up today mate dont want it stupid low it's just how it went and the jack would only just go under the back bumper if it was a coupe i wouldnt have got it under coz of where the spare wheel is

And i like the colour combo myself was gonna do the striping in bumpers green but sin it done and dont like it so i gonna leave it as is

Its all about the low Loon's .. Think it would look better with a less bright wheel colour toher than that its tidy :)

Nice loon :D

Guilty :oops:

Sweet loon, got to ask, does it have a factory fitted sunroof?

I had 3 mk3 saloons.

1.3 SPI Red, factory fit sunroof.

1.3 NZ Grey aftermarket sunroof.

1.3 NZ (G40 conversion) Red, non sunroof.

All H reg. If this helps on your quest to track down factory fit sunroofs on loons. :lol:

to be honest i'm glad mine dosent have 1 not to keen on sunroofs and i'm hoping to get the roof done in some kind of vinyl so sunroofs just getin the road

good lil project coming on here mate, keep it up its looking quite smart, not sure on the green wheels tho:-S

on a photo of your front mate you have a splitter - whats it from? i need to splitter the front of mine

now fella cheerz ye needs bit more work before i pass my test like and if you look mate 1 of the wheels are red i'm on with refurbing them just taking me ages to do them as they keep reacting

The splitter is off a mk3 golf cl bud took mine off now cause if you got your car low with the splitter on it just catches every where and pulls off

Sam.
