Welcome to the club!
Take the tdi badge off imo - it looks like someone' stuck it on in the bottom corner as an afterthought. Either take off the rear wiper/aero it or fabia it and that is gonna be one MINTER!
disagree, its funnier when you blow past some one (within the limits of the law) and they see TDI on the back
Disagree - I prefer it when they dont know what they're picking on, then you leave them when the out of speed limit comes in a fog of black smoke!

Yes but it's worth it.
Cheers for the replies
I did think about colour coding, but I like them as they are as they match the colour of the wheels and they also break up the body a bit.
I need to get some better location shots of my car like the ones you took recently. That brick wall is a bit boring
I thought about getting the faces of my wheels diamond cut...but I think it might look a bit too bling. What do you reckon?
I think I'm going to try de-wipering to see what it'd look like. But it's probably less hastle to stick a polo aero one on.
Fitting was actually quite straight forward, there are some good guides around to follow. Muddyboots made a good guide which helped.
I may get rid of the TDI badge as it looks a bit lonely by itself I might design a custom sticker or something more personalised to replace it. I'd love to stick a Nurburgring sticker in the corner but then i'd look like a chav because i've never been! Might get a 'M25 Ring' sticker for a laugh

looks so much better lower think ya should take the front down more lol removin my under tray in summer nearly catchers the floor at the mo.
i found that one of the front sides were harder to do than the other its due down to the drive shaft bein a diffrent size i belive.

I think the front can go down another 15mm but I can only lower the rear more if I take out the adjuster which I don't really want to do. I'm pleased with the height as it is because I can still get over speed bumps etc.
The drivers side is supposed to be harder, but the old strut came out of the hub easier than the passenger side. All I did was jack up the strut with a trolley jack and a bit of wood and then gave the hub a good bash and it slipped out.
Yep the kit I've fitted came with shorter drop links. What coilovers have you gone for? Been a bit of bad press on here for FK over the past few days

your car looks really nice i love the colour with the dark wheels and the new suspension in fact the whole outside of the car looks awesome.
Cheers for the comments
Yea I think i'm with you on that one. I do like the wheels as they are but I'm just getting a bit bored of them. I'd like some wider wheels to fill out the arches more but all the ones I'm looking at are sooo expensive!
