1 litre FTW

when you fit your coilovers did you have to take the top mounts off old springs and but them on new ones? cheers

Yeah mate i did, if they're JOM ones too i removed the large spacers from the back coilovers as they wouldn't allow it to fit properly...will make sense if you have them lol.

Make sure that you compress your springs before you take the mounts off though!

Not too long actually, fortunately because it's a 99' polo i didn't have to put anymore wires in the dash/to the fusebox..so was literally swap the switches and follow the guide on here to wiring them up :)

And yeah happy with them bud, cheers :)

Bought some new things for the polo :)

Managed to get hold of some 6n2 rears with bulb holders and some loom and also picked up a set of 14" BBS RZ's today for £40 :D am well chuffed!

They are missing the center caps and have slight curbing but apart from that, they're in quite good condition! will get some pictures up soon ;D

All I need to do now is get some new tyres, give the wheels a quick refurb and put the 6n2 rears on :)

A polish is also in need, however really can't be arsed to do that by hand again just yet...

Cheers :) only lowered mine about 2 months ago, noticed the difference in handling straight away ha, plus it looks much better imo 8-)

Yours looks like it's really starting to come together now especially with the wheels, mine use to look very similar :p

Not sure why I never saw this heh.

Cheers mate :) Hopefully i'm getting some 165/55's in the next couple of weeks and going lower, as current tyres are rubbing farrr to much.

Also going to get a new aerial gasket/seal and give her another polish as she is fading pretty badly :(

Can see how bad the bonnet is fading in the picture above!

Heard g3 compound is particularly good for this?

Also went to a swdubs meet the other week which was pretty cool, some awesome cars there. Managed to source some pictures from the meet off coreymk3 and others:

Hopefully I can buy the new tyres when payday comes around and when i'm not stuck down with revision and coursework :thumbsdown:

Paint looks real good on that last shot.

It's funny the rear of my car has nicer paint than the front too, my bonnet is awful lol.

Car looks so nice now mate, keep it up :)
