Hi tom, have you lowered yours yet?

if so how much by? not sure how much to do mine!

Dont mean to sound rude but doesnt it look lowered, or have you read my other posts where I have said that I didnt do, and therefore I dont know how low it is? Sorry if that sounded sarcastic (didnt mean - and please dont take it that way).

I would guess it was about 60ish-mm something like that hehe sorry cant be much help

Tom

I was only asking cause i haven't lowered mine at all yet, and wasnt sure weather you had done yours or not that was all!

have gone for 40mm anyway!

thanks

Sorry to hear bout the accident mate! How bad was it? Perhaps its a good chance to get the bumpers n side rubstrips smoothed.....

cheers dude, its not too bad, well to look at it, but she's done £2k's worth of damage!! It's not gona get smoothed for now, I've got other stuff I want doing first, not really seeing the smoothing as a priority now

Obviously you are looking to repair the car 1st i just thought that if u had any bumper damage u could get em smoothed while you are at it! have u any pics of the accident?>

how did you fit the screen in, did you have to buy some special adapters, is it a dvd player, I have got the same system as you, I want to hook up a screen but i have no clue how to do it

does the stereo work as a dvd player aswell?

thanks

Hello mate na, its nothing special like that, to be honest it was just sittin in there with nothing plugged into it, as i hadnt got round to doing anything with it.

The stereos not a DVD player either I'm afraid, it does come as a DVD player buts it about £600

Sorry i couldnt be more help

LOL nope i doubt it... I thought they may have sent your car to some approved garage and you could maybe give the repair guy a bit of cash on the low.....

ha, nah I wanted VW to do it as it wasnt my fault lol, my sis was wivout her car for 4 months when it went to an "approved" garage! Bunch of pikeys working on it, the insurance company actually told us to goa need get the car back!! She had a dent in the door, from where someone let a trolley crash into, which they kindly kicked in!!! Making it 10 times worse
