it would be great if i have them all done for ed38 next year fingers crossed

i like the stance at the mo but i want to go alot lower at the mo i am getting a small bit of rubbing on the bumper edges so my plan for the winter is to crack the stance by fitting some ditchfinders :oops: in 185/45/15 variety. hopefully i can sort out the interior, I've got a few ideas yet but I've been speaking to a lad at the bodyshop and his brother works for a trim company and his best mates a tire fitter, doesnt get much better than that tbh :-D :-D

let me know what you think

is there any way i can get the mods to move this thread to the mk4 gallery?

cheers

mike

love it mike the bootlid was a touch of genius! kept coming over for a chat at the poloshow but everytime i got near u sat inside with the missus! have the camber shims sorted the scrubbage?

mint mike! its so much better than the one u sold.

taylor is gonna run his plate recess in the 16v bumper and french it in so once will look good!

yours is how i eventually want mine, to match my front end with the smaller recess! when i saw it at the polo show i was drooling!

8-)

ah no way, you should have banged on the window lol i was looking for your car but couldnt see it, i was dying to speak to loads a people but i was too scared lol so we ended up sitting in the car, i always tell her not to sit in the car aswell lol sounds nasty

as for scrubbage it used to rub on the back of the arch by the bumper but now it rubs on about 7mm on the inner edge of the bumper which is bugger all really, but i want it lower so I'm gna run 185s next year cos my bbs are coming off for the steelies to come back on, I'm gna have a go at polishing the whole baskets myself.

crispy- your front bumper looks sweet, I'm trying to thing of different ideas to do mine but most things have been done.

taylors bumper will look good frenched,

what day is the meet on for you guys, I'm thinking of coming up :-D :-D

as always guys thanks for the comments

nw vag meet is next tuesday mate!

thread is in the meets section! usually a great turnout thru summer we were seeing a full carpark 50-60 cars!

as the nights are drawing in people sometimes leave a little earlier but it draws in people from all over, great atmosphere! 8-)

I'm very tempted to come up, prob over an hours drive but it will be worth it :D:D

my car wasn't there the box wasn't sorted in time and i ended picking up the new box at the show! you going to players or oxford edition at all? mine just catches a little bit on the arch at the moment but i'll get them rolled soon enough and keep on running 185's despite what my sensible side tells me!

yep all sorted now and sweet as a nut! got me to nottingham and back yesterday no problem to pick up a gti rear beam ready for some rear disc action!

not going to sell it anymore i think i was just tempted by that where it was off the road for so long but now i'm happy again!

no problems on the front, yet but i've been winding it down a couple of mm at a time this week and seeing how i get on!

i'll dig out a pic of the the stretch on the 8"s but its nothing to major!

defo needs to come lower.

at the moment the car goes out then in (like a hour glasss) looking from the back

drop it so the archesflare out and line up with the shims.
