Hey lights look wicked :drool:
I've just had my GTI painted up like yours... I have the R32 lights in a box to be fitted... did you need spacers to fit the lights??
-

Felt brave last weekend, after leaving halfrauds armed with primer, sand paper and matt black spray paint, I got to work on the rear VW badge (what a mistake)
Badge popped off easyily but the ruddy chrome coating vw put on these things is stronger than arnie on roids!
took me nearly 3 fookin hours to rub it down and my digits are still paying for it :chicken:
After a few coats of paint and a day's hard graft - here are the results

I like it :smiley: - goes well with the R32 rears, think the GTI badge needs to be black now too.... let me know what you think!
-
Nice Dan :happy2:
Although you only really needed to give it a quick rub over with some fine s/paper if you'd have used an acid etched primer! :wink: :P
-
^^ now you tells me, I rubbed the b*stard down to the bare plastic :angry015:

cheers pal, never measured the drop - We just cranked the fronts as low as they would go, and didnt use the adjuster for the rears, so she wont go any lower on these coilies :star:

ssssssssssssssssswish :pomppomp:

Looking good Dan! :happy2:
Good to see you briefly today chap! :wink:

cheers nath, I should of come and said hello properly :ashamed: your car looked clean and shiny as always dude :happy2:
-
Dan the man is back in town. :congrats:
That is running quite low be careful out there. :wink:
-
Thats looking spot on with the coilies fitted. They have such a tough stance about them with them lowered !!
-
What kws have you got mate, how do you find the ride mine is getting done as we speak only going down 20-25 mm though.
-
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :happy2: :happy2: :happy2: :happy2: :happy2:

this looks great !! :congrats:

What kws have you got mate, how do you find the ride mine is getting done as we speak only going down 20-25 mm though.
They are V2's but are not new ones by any means, the dampening was already set for a 'smooth' ride so I didnt adjust them before I put them on. After fitting the ride only feels slightly harsher than stock!! It only rubs on the front when cornering hard - might need raising up 5mm! tbh I was expecting the dash to rattle and for the car to be bouncing all over the shop but I get none of this, the ride is spot on :happy2:
Thanks to everyone for the kindness, I love looking at the thing sitting lower than your nans nips :jumpmove:
-
Have you removed the arch screw and tucked the arch liner up Dan?
-

yeah done that chris but still get a bit of rubbage when cornering enthusiasticly*(spelling). :driver: I did expect it to rub a bit - my mate wouldnt fit them unless I wound them down to the lowest setting :signLOL:
-
Hahaha! Yeah I had the same when mine was on coillies! Just rubbed when going stupidly fast around corners! Car looks great fella :happy2: :happy2:
