Had some deliveries yesterday  :jumpmove:



My Golf was probably too low considering the rather aggressive stance the ET35 wheels gave. As I am sticking with the OEM wheels on the S3 I wanted to fill the arches a little better as they are a little shy in standard guise, especially the rear wheels! Reading up it seemed 10mm front and 15mm rear were a common choice. I did however notice people seemed to have a fair bit of rubbing issues once lowered. I opted for a less extreme option of 7mm front and 13mm rear, combined with a more modest drop I am hoping I wont suffer any rubbing issues whilst improving the overall look.

I also made my first mod by removing the standard lighter and replaced it with the hinged option without the lighter. Much better in my opinion.


I have a nice pile of parts ready to go on including:
Coilovers
Spacers
Pressed Reg Plates
LED Rear Reg Lights

will update again once the car is back from Dub Unit on 06th September

Cigarette lighter looking much better :happy2:
Can't wait to see the wheels spaced out and the drop on the coilovers. Happy fitting :smiley: :happy2:

I attended the Big Meet at Utoxeter racecourse on Sunday, was supposed to have the Golf on show but it had already headed up north with its new owner.
:sad1:
I didnt want to take the S3 along until I have got more of the intended work carried out so I jumped in with Trow81 instead and got papped next to his car lol.


It was the first time I had been and thought it was a cracking little show. I then headed home to apply some of the bits I still had sitting in the house.

First I applied my new pressed plates and swapped out the rather weary rear LED's





Finished the weekend off with a good wash as the car had got covered in tree sap after!  :scared:



I also ordered a Chipex kit to attend to a few stone chips on the bonnet and a bottle of Poorboys Leather Stuff after reading some strong reviews.

Thanks for reading
