as much as i want to like this, I'm struggling, i look at it with the wheels and i see naths car in my head and think that he did so much work to make those wheels look right on his car that i cant see past them if you get what i mean.....

good luck following a tough act, hope your up to the challenge =D

How ironic coming from you lmao!

I think it looks really good, better than 'Naths' car in my opinion.

:lol:

This should defo be a permanent feature - it pokes so much fun at the roofracks full of junk (even though I quite like them!)!

Love it :p,

Love the wheels;)

I'm going to be sorting out a few bits of the interior soon, does anyone know if a 5 door carpet will fit a 3 door? :?

I'm also after some LED's for my number plate, anyone know if these are the correct ones?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-GOLF-MK4-MK5-POLO...#ht_3136wt_1139

Finally I'm looking at putting some Eibach camber shims on the rears for some more clearance, who else is using these, exactly how much is -1.5 degrees of camber?

Pictures would help!

Finally here is a random picture of the car, I put the vw grill back on, still can't decide which I like best though lol.

Yeah I think I'm liking the vw grill more too!

Just need some powerlooks and 6n2 gti splitter to finish the front end off, + maybe some fogs? :-D

The shims I'm looking at only go to -1.5, these ones - http://www.ruderacing.co.uk/p286430/Rear_A...oduct_info.html

1.5d :( you buy and test then i can see haha! think they are cheaper on ebay too!, not keen on powerlooks tbh but 6n2 gti splitter fo sure 50quid from VW i believe :)! I'm in need too but low funds and thinking of doing cambelt before anything else!!

Oh I could only find them for £21 on ebay, might end up more with postage at the place I found though.

Do you know if you can order the splitter online from vw or something, I'd rather not have to drive to go pick one up lol.

Ordered myself some numberplate LED's earlier too :p

Looking sick mate how far are you away from SUSSEX? We need a photo shoot once I've got my ass into gear and got my wheels on lol :p

I'll look into it when I get the money lol.

what you can do to increase the camber more than -1.5 is have 2 shims on each side and before you say anything yes it is possible and has been done before

Yeah I read that somewhere.

But it would end up costing twice as much then wouldn't it lol.

Loving the look of this bud 8-)

Have been thinking myself to put the orange indi's back in for a bit...not sure what I prefer though!

Wheels looks sickk, gonna take quite a bit of work to go lower though?

Also like the cheeky Lakai sticker placement :lol: didn't notice that at first heh

Btw did you get the rear coilover sorted?

Keep up the good work man

Use to look this like with them last year lol.

Thanks man, yeah I went back to the orange indy's and I much prefer them now.

I'm confident I can do a bit more work on the front arches and get it sitting how I want there, not sure about the rears yet though lol.

I have more stickers to go on the sun visors, but I'm getting black ones so I'll wait til then :p

And I took the coilover off and fiddled with it for ages, managed to get it to sit a bit better and not have so much travel, I'll properly sort it soon :thumbsup:

mate i no your probably going to think this is a bit strange but i was looking onto getting a set but wanted them staggerd so if i get 15x7 would you fancie swapping 2 of yours for 2 of mine?

Mate it looks mental with that stuff on the roof :). I'm going to try and get some plasterboards on mine tomorrow :)

I'm not sure mate, my Dad bought it as he wanted to use it lol, I think it was roughly about £40 maybe?

I'll try and find out for you though mate.

Ummm, I don't really know man, I thought about that when I was buying mine.

What are the specs on them, are they ET35?

Good luck, take some pictures if it looks funny ha.
