corrosion on the alloy wheels seems to be a common problem... if buying from dealer try and get them replaced before you drive it away cos I am having trouble getting them replaced under warranty! and they cost £300 each to replace!! :shock: :shock:

mine was involved in rather nasty "incident" when it was in for a service... got a lovely long scratch/dent down the rear panel... they fixed this for me with no charge of course, but while it was in for this they managed to scratch the sh*t out of my drivers side window ... so went back again and ...

thanks guys... Josh, will these springs make the ride REALLY uncomfortable?! Also looking to change my tyres shortly as one has slow puncture and rear ones fairly low... was thinking of getting Toyo's as I only do about 6/7k a year so don't need hard wearing tyres? are these a good choice?

coilovers vs dampers

for improved handling and a drop of about 30mm - 35mm would a spring/damper kit from the likes of koni be ok for a Polo GTi

what are the benefits of coilovers as these are much more expensive?

ok... so I think I better tell them then.... have some replacement rear lights on order and didn't really think about the insurance till after I'd ordered them.

I want to colour code my front splitter also so would I need to mention this... seems like such a straight forward thing to me.
