Where abouts are you in Wycombe? I'm live round there :p used to have a red MK2 Golf, just bought a white polo 6N saloon, but recently received big dents/scrapes on front bumper

100 mm drop 30/40= fail lol

What Adam said, if you don't scrape he'll hate hahaha

The mods you've done and your plans sound good mate, depending on what sort of look you want to go for and the practicality of 'teh lowz'
30-40 mm would be fine but I don't think I could justify a drop that small, unless I lived in the sticks haha

i live in the sticks and i am 100mm down lol i vote get coilovers and go from there then you can have a look, springs and shocks are same price or go for ebays finest

30-40mm drop seems a waste of money of coilovers, shocks and springs would proberly give you better results over 30-40mm, seem to be have/getting alot of bits from moden models tho! im a fan of 16V bumpers! your car tho !

LOVE the couler btw!

Hi guys,

Thank you for all your responses. I appreciate that majority of you think that 40mm is a waste of time, however I must be sensible and think about being practical. I do a fair bit of load lugging and as such do not want to scrape speed bumbs all the way down a road.

40mm is'nt much mabe like mesure the distance you are from the floor and the distance from your tyre to the arch and just drop it enuff so theres no arch on show and still be high enuff for speed bumps + just depends how fast you take them with my car i think if i was at a 80mm drop speed bumps wouldnt be a problem as its not to bad with a gti splitter but the vr6 one's ........ well i have broken 3 now

Nice colour mate, I dont think you would even notice a 40mm drop, anyway as soon as you lower it 40mm you will just get the lowering bug and want to go lowwwww.

Adam stop buying £15 splitters from that polish geezer in Aylesbury!

Coilovers are a good idea, start at 40mm, least you can go lower. Agree with others, you probably won't notice 40mm but it's a good start position, deffo think you'll be nearer to 60 by the time you finish. Try FK streetline coilovers for about £190 on ebay, quite a few people like them. Also sign yourself up to clubpologti and get some ideas on there.

Just mod it for yourself

Nice colour mate and love the wheels, I look forward to seeing it in the flesh when you start your new job in January

Thanks mate,

I'm looking forward seeing your's when I will start my new job in January. I'm currently running on steelies, as I really don't want salt ruining the paint on alloys. It will be mid March before I even consider to take them out of their blankets

By the way, would you be Steve? because at SV's they can only think that it would be you. Pardon me if i'm mistaking here.

Here are some things that have been fitted from the list of things above:

Instruments rings,
Interior chrome door handles.
Ibiza Cupra Interior
Other Leather things.

Yep, Steve mate, I'm on steelies too with winter rubbers on. That interior is really nice mate

Working real hard on keeping classy simple yet comfy and with that bit of something special!

It's good to meet you "imaginary" Steve been told a thing or two about you ( it's all good, promise) but looking forward to meeting you in person. 4th of Jan, Cow Roast perhaps? Let me know if you or Ryan going to be there.

And a new addition that wasn't on a list, is a VW Polo/SEAT Cordoba estate rear wiper arm. Pictures to come within few days.
Yet to fit are coilies, exhaust system? And 6000k HID kit.

Thank you all for looking.

Hi guys, Here is a new arrival

Guys help please!!!!

Rear callipers are leaking fluid between underside of banjo and calliper face. Used new copper washers still leaking at the rate of 1 drip a second.

Does anyone know the correct torque setting for banjo bolts?

Thank you.
