ive found some more pics of this online ;)

Pffft, OLD pics;) This picture above is the only one with the current stance. At the car show front was 10mm off the ground due to jamming ARB! Off-road style:( ARB notches were done after the show.

very nice mate, plans for future?

Yeah. Full interior. New front seats and this Scirocco rear seat I already have. And far far away in future, a possible engine swap:coffee:

Prop's

some impressive work there.

the next custom fab planned was to make some room for the ARB

As I dont really fancy running without it.

My only worry is how close the ARB will come to the CV joint.

How close does your ARB come to your CV boot/joint ?

Also looking at my picture I think my subframe is a bit bent :huh:

and have you done anything to the inside of the arch ?

its not a very smooth surface and I keep catching the inside edge on bumps.

Hi Jowey. I have followed your thread (I love your dedication for ultimate static dropping, same goes for LGG-guy above and niallod!) and this ARB problem of yours (I had it too) and I'm glad you have not chosen to take your ARB completely off. It's not necessary. I'll PM you by any minute about it... I draw you a picture fast, because I don't know the terms in english. If you got some question feel free to ask, I try my best to help you out :)

E: Oh and I forgot. I haven't done anything to inner arches. I'm sure it'll be easy to cut something off the way, but I'd just look for other wheels with different, smaller ET?
