how difficult is it to fit the camber shims ? and do they make any difference ?

Haven't fitted them yet. I can't do it myself and haven't found a person who could do it for me. I think it's difficult enough. As much as I've heard from people..only thing they change is handling of the car. Not sure by how much.

There is 30mm adapters on the back now and I really need camber. Anyway will throw a pic of the car in later.

ahh right so they'd have to be done by a mechanic or someone ? .. could you get some pictures of them being fitted when you eventually find somebody to fit them for you pleaseee :)

Yeah I will keep it updated :)

Dude car has come a long way since I last saw it, looking real smart now 8-)

Only thing I'd say is it looks like you need to get that front down a few mm get rid of that RRake ;)

But no man it looks quality :thumbsup:

Yeah i agree..rrake is abit annoying but I'm running 30mm adapters on the back now so rear arches are sitting on the tyres which looks abit better :)

Suede material is ordered for headlining. Also thinking about Cupra seats...

Mmmmmm that looks spot on 8-)

Love this car.

Cant help thinking the wheels aren't quite special enough with the air ride though.

You thought about mirror polishing them? Seen a few sets done and they look awesome, could be a cheaper option in to some dope wheels :)

Thanks.. :)

Yeah I know I need new wheels. I know what I want...but theres couple other things I want to sort out 1st.

Plan was to mirror polish them but then I changed my mind and decided to get a new set. 9" rears and 8" fronts is the plan.

Haven't updated for a while. The reason really is low funds and theres been couple a problems to car that had to be fixed.

I'm rolling on my Cups again...just for a change. Need spacers and some camber to get that stance I'm after. Also still waiting for black suede to come in for headlining. Not sure if there will be new wheels this summer. Here is one pic just to show how car sits atm.

More to come :)

Also found a pair of spacers for good money and fingers crossed that I will get them tomorrow.

Updates coming soon...

Yeah, yeah I know...I need to respray my badge.

And next week will try to play with camber. Hopefully I will success...fingers crossed :)

Love it mate, sits so nice!

Are you running any spacers on the front?

If you could get the lip at the front flush with the arch it would be perfect :D

Or is your wheel turned in that picture a little? :p

Oh boy that first photo it looks so right!! Love it dude, massive love!

@richibobs - thanks a lot. Yeah the wheel is turned a little. Not running any spacers on the front but was thinking to get 5mm's just to make it flush with the arch :) time will show because new ideas keeps coming to my head all the time lol

@VDubber23 - thanks dude. Glad you like and appreciate your love to my car :)

looks sick man. nice one

just had a flick through the whole of your build thread, good work, the polo has come a long way, liking the peppers, good choice ;) can you drive it any lower on the air than what you could on hard slam? or can you only park low? just curious because i dont think i could drive mine much lower than it is now :) keep up the good work.

nice car mate, love the rims and the simple style!!!

with spacer on the front this will probs be my fave 6n2 :) looks sooo right

Thanks Steph :)

No I can't drive it when it sits all the way down. Front arches just won't let me do and I'm not able to turn the wheel...

Thanks to rest of you guys for positive feedback.

I was playing with my camber on weekend and got something out of it.

Heard different opinions about it so let me know what do you guys think.
