Nice colour. Is it metallic?

Yep :happy2:

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:
-
lookin kool, any other mods planned?
-
Very nice. Loving the drop! What's next then? :jumpmove:
-
very good :happy2:
-
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?

i was gonna do it myself with a friend but was advised not to so i got someone oto do it for me.
i let the guy who did it set it up and i think he made a good choice

Liking the drop there. Was the steel grey colour called united grey in Ireland like it is in the US?
-
