tomkahler Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) So here is my black 2008 VW Fox, I bought this car at the beginning of this year as my first car, mainly because of the price of the insurance and the cost to run, however I've decided to do a few mods. Currently saving for lowering springs / coilovers (undecided) Current mods:-Black Badges -Iphone mount, charger,jackplug, satnav arangment-15" Golf GTI mk3 alloy wheels (refurbished and painted myself)-Yokahama Cdrive 2 tires (allround)---------------------------------------------------------Let me know what you think---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Photo shop of it about 40mm lower ?

Koop Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Those wheels suit surprisingly well. It's aching for lows though, coilies all the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 I agree. I expected them not to suit. However, that said i think you missed a trick as there are some nice 16" OE wheels that would suit the Fox. Coilovers for the ride height. Well done and the jobs on the wheels looks good.

Vinnyzf Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Needs bigger wheels imo. Looks good though man. I like the fox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomkahler Posted April 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Not bad for the prices. I will get some soon, does anyone know how difficult it is to change the springs yourself? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee17 Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Hour and a half job, in my case i cad to put original top mounts on the coils so you will need a spring compressor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Or just buy new top mounts for not very much money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrisonsFoxR Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Can anyone recommend some coilovers for not too much then?Hi, I have Prosport coilovers on my fox and I think they are pretty good, the car feels much tighter on the road. The suspension is a bit harder but you get used to it Nice photography by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel93 Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 The car looks great! Agreeing with everyone else, the wheels go well with the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckuzniar Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Car looks awesome, I'm looking to swap my badges for black ones as well but I just can't find the right size, is there any chance you can drop a link or let me know where you got them from? It would be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
