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?

I know you can get them on the 8v bumper, not sure what you need to do to get it on though lol.

Doubt I'll do anything with the engine lol, way to much money and work involved.

I can see myself selling it towards the end of the year for something newer and faster anyway lol.

greate car!

Thanks man, it's nothing compared to yours though :p

I only did it for about 15 minutes quickly to see if it would actually work lol.

Ideally I'll be putting some damp plywood between the arch and jack so the wood bends around the shape of the arch.

I had no one to help me hold it all in place today though lol.

This is the idea:

Thanks mate, you from bucks?

It works quite well, but it will almost certainly crack your paint :lol:

YEa live up on badgers used to have a polo same as yours running g60s

all it needs now is a gti splitter or laguna splitter then youre set for lows at the front

Cool man.

Yeah I heated up the whole time, if your only pulling them out a little bit then you can avoid cracking your paint, but if you need a lot of clearance it's going to crack lol.

Well lookey what I got :lol:
