Post by: tinydave on November 03, 2008, 07:18:46 pm
Just thought id stick up a few photos of my car thats just bin fitted with KW V2 coilovers :grin:

hey mate, your gti has a decent drop on it, but i have a tip for you, if you run your hand on the inside of your front arch's you will feel a small torx screw holding the inner in place, remove this screw and tuck the liner of the arch behine the screw hole, this will stop 99% of rubbing!!  :happy2:

youl understand once you look  :drinking:

cheers for that , i was told to do that alright so when i get a couple of minutes i will be doing that all right. i might give it a tiny raise so its totally clear aswell
im hoping that little mod will do the trick cos its looks the muts nuts that low 8)

yea, this should solve it so no need to raise it, if you love the ride so much low then roll the arches, ive done this  :party:

that looks lovely ! the ride height is perfect !  :smiley:

Those R32 lights really do make alot of difference !

It brings the colour of the grey to life ( trying to sound artistic ! )  :happy2:

I think all GTi's should have had R32 lights !

im gonna go get a Milltek , Carbonio Intake mabe a FMIC , r32 brakes and then a remap but thats well down the line,  i might do a few cheap mods to it before that tho, like black front and rear logos and a de-badge and a rear de-wiper 8)
now all i need is them magic 6 numbers in the lotto :rolleye:

I'm having the KW V2's in the near future - Did you decide the drop yourself or did anyone else advise your setup?
