Like that usb idea mate. Maybe get a shorter Ipod cable though and mount the ipod in there somewhere so it all looks OEM?

Good idea, might nick it :)

Will look much better on the floor

Thanks buddy. Ye not quite finished yet :) i wanted to keep the USB accessible because i have mates that bring their USB sticks and they can put it in when they get in. Ill gotta buy a dock for it then i can mount it :)

they have arrived!

get them on

Whey for coilies!

Tomoz morning chaps :)

Give them a good clean with a wire brush first though. Get rid of some of that shit. Then coat them in grease. I do that with mine whenever I adjust them and they are always relatively free. Cheap ones will always be crap, but just stops them seizing up and then the locking rings shattering when you try and adjust them.

Fitted! Much better

Size are those wheels?

Love the USB cable - sorta little touch that I like. Done stuff like that before - 3.5mil jack mounted inside ash tray etc!

They look bigger than 15s. What tyres you got on them?

195/50/15's. I've fitted the coilies today but now got a intermitant knocking. Had some problems with the bottom winders on the suspension hitting the tyre so had to wind them up quite a bit. I dont know whats nocking!. sounds like its on the on the right side though. so gotta inspect it tomorrow!

Best tyres for polos + 15s are 195/45/15, will make them just that bit smaller in diameter. As foe the knocking, are all the shocks functioning correctly, i.e. does the car return to position and settle when each corner is pushed down?

ye they all are fine when doing that. I dont want to keep the wheels because I'm going to get 13's. I know that 45's are shallower its just thats what came on the car. I have only had it about 3 days.

Ah cool mate.looking good anyway,more progress than i've made!

The knockings gone now. i redid up all the wheel nuts. one or 2 was a little loose so might of been that as thats all I've changed. ye taking my time with things at the moment. thinking of the "look" I'm after as a whole for now. Amazing what lowering it does

How easy were those to strips to do? What you get them off with?

Car's looking nice so far, looks much better with the lows, tyres let it down though. Really nice colour too
