  15. 4 polo 13" steelies and 4 15" alloys with tires sat next to my bed and set of headlights and headrests in my wardrobe safe to say mother isnt happy with me
  16. so i knew i had an iffy front wheel bearing when i got my car back in august but due to cost i didn't replace it but gradually its got worse and worse then i hit a pot hole and then i could hear it over my music at volume 55 my speakers clip at 58 sub cuts out at 59 so yehh was very very loud and could feel it in pedals and was snatching the steering so i got the wheel bearing and after about an hour trying to get the c clip out then another 40 min pressing the old shell out this is what was making the noise so yehh got my moneys worth out of it just got the other side to do but have got to do a CVjoint at the same time so postponed that till later in the week
  17. this is the best pic i could get to show what i painting its an absolute arse to rough the chrome up round the little lines ready for primer just hope it looks good and yehh 3 of my shockers have gone with the 50ish drop :') so its got to be coillovers next

  21. nahhhh not funn at all 30 mph spin in to a tree at 2am with no phone mine catches in mcdonalds not any speed bumps yet tho will do when i get coillovers
  22. one note on lowering it dont try and get in a field. i had to walk 2 mile home to get my dad to pull me out, touching all under the car in mud and dont pull up to curbs close mine touches and thanks to a previous crash pulls the lower bumper off not good in a car park :'(
  23. this is the one we have at work http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sealey-Vs154-Valve-Spring-Compressor-Multi-Value-/110876805828?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item19d0c5cac4
  24. my car is lowered aprox 45-55mm only scrape on tall curbs when im well on the path i live out in the sticks only problem iv found with it is my little 13" wheels fit very well in pot holes :/ so taking her off the stilts wont make it useless just look a lot better for it
  25. no just hit it at 30 was as halfway throo spinning my car so was like a bounce off the tree and continue spinning, no airbags or nothing ohh and it bent my rad smashed the rad fan Fked the slam panel and pushed the crash panel to touch the rad poped the bumper off and pulled both wheel arch lining's out and broke all 3 lugs off both headlights :') and broke both ends and middle of the indicator panel and grille worst of all tho i scratched the VW badge :'( 5 hours the next day straitening crash panel up with a 10 ton press and a pack of cable ties it fitted again
