Mate have you got your arches rolled? And if so how much and what's the stretch on your tyres?

Yeah I've had to roll/pull the front arches and bumper quite a lot to get it low enough and not catch. Also had to cut the arch liners out.

I haven't been able to do much to the rear arches though it catches them a lot lol, they pulled out a little bit and I've bent the lips back a tad, I need a proper arch roller.

I'm running 185/45 nankangs all around.

smexy ;)

is that a patch of gash paint on your bonnet or a sticker btw?

my grille surround has loads of blotches over, can't get them out, does my head in lol

loving the rota's :thumbsup:

keep it up bud ;d

  • Author

Yeah it's the paint :(

I think it's from when I was leaning to drive, I had some magnetic L plates and I'm guessing it's something to do with leaving them on all day in the sun, or rain getting trapped under it?

Anyway I can't fix it, so I'll probably buy a new bonnet in the future or get it resprayed, whatever is cheapest :p

Heh fair enough buddy!

Yeah I had magnetic ones but only had them on when I went out in it ;)

And yeah, I went down to a local vw bodyshop today, they told me they usually charge £100 a panel :/ isn't too bad i spose, though would be shite if you had a small area to do lol

  • Author

I got a quote from a local body shop at £70 per panel, I'm still not paying that though haha.

Haha I know, would rather have a go myself lol

Tuck down to the rim on the front :)

  • Author

That's the plan mate ;)

You got a lot of thread left? Or are you thinking about custom coilovers/turrets raised?

  • Author

Think there is about 25mm left on the fronts.

If I can get any lower after that I'll take the helpers out I suppose.

I'm on 15's not 14's remember :(

Plan is to knock the lips back on the rear arches so I can pull them out so I can drop it more.

Then drop the fronts all the way down hopefully

Should be picking up a 6n2 gti splitter and new axle bolts to replace my old ones while I fit my camber :)

You doing the good old washer camber?

  • Author

Nah I've got some shims.

Been waiting to get new bolts to replace the old ones before I fit them though.

Heh sick man, sounds good :D

was thinking of a 6n2 gti splitter, however dunno if can fit an 8v bumper without too much modding :/

Also you thinking of ever doing an engine conversion or keeping it 1.0l?
