My I ask what mileage your shocks have covered? I think the drop is spot on but always worry about standard shocks and lowered springs.
I ran a H&R cup kit on my MK4 and it gave a nice ride, so my opt for these instead..

The car has cover 57k mikes, I assume they are the original that came with the car. Seemed fine and no signs of any leaking from them. I think with a 30mm drop it will be fine on normal shocks, I think it's more a case of guys running -60mm springs on standard shocks that would soon put a lot of strain on them.

What's your thoughts on this guys? Thought it looked quite nice, I would place the decal where it would normally go on the Edition 30 models.



Had planned on doing mine Yellow?

Haven't it done yet guys, waiting in a local sign writing company to get back to me. Must give them a call in the morning to chase this up.
Only reason I thought yellow was to match the stitching, but as you say black may work better.

I have this too also in black - mine is slightly larger though 75mm by 20mm so fits nicely on the silver strip. It's all about the details!

I've been considering putting some on the door strips too but not sure if it'll be too much?

The black does look good but I'd suggest photoshopping it in yellow but from a further back view.

I'd thought about one there as well, maybe slightly larger to cover the GTI text. As you say, might end up looking tacky and taking away from the car.

Cheers for the offer mate, certainly if you find it and TaylorGTI doesn't want it I'll take it if mine still hasn't been made. Thanks.  :happy2:

Anyone from here heading to Dubshed next month??? I'm going to go along.

It's in Belfast Northern Ireland mate, quite a trip I know for you guys, but it's the biggest and best VW show we have, well worth the trip if you's ever considered it.  :drinking:
