easy peasy flipped the engine mount drivers side to raise it 20-ish mm, still running all original wiring just different inlet and throttlebody cos its cable (might be cos its diego, lupos might need the entire loom i don't know

new engine.. definitely not a tdi

air

lol like most in this thread it usually begins with gingerly opening the door and assessing whether or not if its possible to squeeze out the gap or climb out the passenger side

love those wheels mims

exactly lol

i was under the impression the question was about spacers in general being safe and stuff. not about your ideas on offsets tyre choices and all that crap. do you realise how childish you sound?

if you really wanted to.. aftermarket spacers and bolts aren't made of cheese

easy test to do mate is drive along a flat road and let go of the steering wheel, and see if the car wants to go off to the side, or even if the steering wheel is 'steering' to go straight

as long as you have the corresponding wheel bolts it doesnt really matter what wheels are on it

just try get the ones with the lowest quoted drop you can, it won't be as they say it is, its just a guideline in actual fact. besides you can always get busy on them if the drop isnt good enough for you.. you can chop springs, remove helpers, cut down bumpstops, fit smaller springs, smaller top mounts etc. as for drilling new holes for the rear damper, ommfffg! these little cars are surprisingly driveable on the floor too

15mm won't cause you any grief don't worry at all

just thought i'd add that my bbs are 7j et38 and the inner lip sits incredibly close to the coilover adjuster ring, i'd suggest getting the smaller 165, not only will it look better it'll leave you more scope to go lower without issues

if you're feeling lift at those speeds then somethings badly wrong nothing to do with aero. can't say i've felt any lift

lol fair enough mate everyones entitled to their opinions. yeah its just sleaford thats a no-go, with the cops throwing their vague laws at me. 'might' 'could' etc. its total BS. ah bens only had a producer, no biggie. its also mainly laziness for me as well with lows. get it down and leave it there, raise it and have to track it again, thats money for making it look gay lol

oe but chopped nicely lol. tried them on my mates lupo and he's running 14" th-lines and it sat the arches on the rim protectors on the tyres. his wheels poke a little bit though.

& thanks for the compliments

aha caused me no hassle really from the drop, just plate up the subframe regularly. was used to everything falling off on my previous cars lol. rear springs still here

i don't see the point of dropping a car for a few days of the year for shows, i see it everyday and it should be slammed err'day sparks are so pretty in the rear view i've got some spare rear springs if anybody wants them, little bit higher than the ones i have in but still plants its ass on the floor

hehe thankss. yes. dailyy! good evening

dont think you need to take the bumper off mate. some douche kicked one of diego's fogs in and getting it back where it should i noticed theres 2 brackets with screws on them (awkward) and then the bottom bit clips in. more straightforward then i expected.. need to get your arch liner out if you have one first though

don't count him out yet biit misleading cos of the shape of the road cos i just set the camera down on the floor and took the photo but get a good idea of the arch to rim action lol. and thats looking up at it from the floor it is true i tore the sump apart on the way to a show, ran outta chemical metal and that tape was the only thing we could scrounge hah! ripped my hand to **** today fiddling with the fronts again so its a little bit lower than them photos, but should be better when the helpers gonna come out when the new polo 6n2gti engine goes in. need a sump now! why do gti clocks only go to 140mph when diego's go to 160? hmmmmm

any idea where the boss came from? also got same wheel and been putting off getting a custom one made
