When I get back into work I hope to lower about 70mm would not mind ats cups if I can get them for the wheels. The brakes was easy to do i should of spent abit more money on getting braided hoses for it but I will do that when i get the Suspension. The brakes are loads better than the standard ones. If you see a set going its worth getting them. Oh I have a passat master cylinder as well.

Abit of a update!!

i have fitted Mk2 Coupe S archtrims which looks really smart and did not take long to fit!

Edited by Daryl

Aww man why did you put arch trims on? IMO it looked way better before- if your arches were mint that is. My GT (same colour as yours) has them and I don't want them really, only thing stopping me taking em off is a rust spot about the size of a 20p next to the rear pass side one. :( Also check you sealed em proper cause you don't want water getting in there and rotting your arches.

Loving the car though, thought it was GT when I saw these latest pics! :)

the reason i put them on was philj was selling some and he had a picture of yoofs car i think with them on. I knew my local scrapyard had a coupe S up there so i went and got them but like you said every arch had bumps and scraps and this is just a cheap fix. loving your car too very clean and tidy.

While i was under there i was gunna fix my exhaust then i see water in the coming out a little bit so i checked my water sure enough i was loosing water so i went down to the motor factors got a head gasket set. While i was there got a g40 inlet on from my mates g40 touch wood it seems to be running ok. Heres a picture of the engine bay and the mk2 arch trims.

Nice, love the black polo badge.

RA's seem to suit any colour mk3 too.

Looking really smart that, especially with the new wheels. They really suit it. Good job :thumbsup:

  • Author

yes the front wheels are rubbing but i am going to bend the lip back as it will clear i hope. At the moment its not going anywhere as the head gaskets gone and I'm doing a full head rebuild. Yeh the lights went in the oven for few mins simple mod but looks great. Also check my blog out theres a few more updates there.
