beleive me thats next on the agenda!!

Im looking at a Bilstein PSS9 coilover kit. lowers front by up to 50mm, rear by up to 40mm. both ride AND height adjustable.

retail on the kit is about Â£1000. we sell it at work for Â£895. Trade price on it is about Â£830.

My staff price though is Â£512

working in the motor trade has serious advantages when it comes to this kind of kit!!

oh- the exhaust is by a company called "longlife". I have never heard of them personally! its a 6"x4" rear box. sounds a little loud for my liking but i can live with it. reciept for it shows Â£350!!!

If you want more info i can dig out the reciept and send you contact details?

im loving it! i know what alot of people might suggest, and that would be to colour-code your front splitter, but don't! it gives a nice contrast and goes excellent with the wheels

You certainly got a bloody good bargain there! theres a polo gti at my local garage, 66,000 miles, silver, no leather and corroded bbs alloys for...wait for it... 5950!!!!

Very nice Gti mate! Is that a different gear knob!? looks nasty!!

Nice seats!!

Its a Wolfsburg Edition 'knob

So, Longlife eh? No worries mate, like Powerflow and Exhausts UK, they're a custom exhaust sytem builder with branches around the UK. Â£350 sounds about right for a cat-back stainless system. When I can afford it, I'll be getting a similar system but probably hidden away behind the bumper. The key words there, "when", "afford", "I", "it" and "can"
