Looking nice, the wheels suit the black colour pretty well.

Is that 17s?

How much do you plan to lower?

oh about 3 foot :lol:
not sure to be honest mate about 50mm id say. ur running on 16's i take it?
dont want it to low cos she will only moan about it being to harsh a ride. whats urs like, but i bet ur on coilies?
cheers for the help with the kit. when i had it fitted i had everything colourcoded. Even had the b pillars sprayed and the difference with that and the kit is amazing. front end looks completely different.

Yeah the ride on the colies is pretty impressive to be honest. Its not that much different from the standard suspension in terms of comfort, but you really feel the difference in the car's handling on the motorways. :D

Think they're wolfrace pro sprints.

Not a fan of the wheels myself though. Can think of other multi spokes i'd have.

sorry lads been away so aint replied. yea they are wolfrace pro sprints in shadow chrome. im happy with it so far (except its slow as hell and should have had the 1.9 tdi not the Slow Diesel Injection). I think it looks so much better with a kit and wheels, but enjoying reading the opinions on it aswell (good and bad)

strange though the wheel bearing has just gone noisy on the front so gonna change it tomoz. Anyone know of a fitting guide or done the job themselves and can give me some info. cheers
