After Jarno pointed out the height I realised your motors too high too! Believe you should go as low as possible for the roads you drive on.

Is it legal if you opt for the GB side strip with the German Fälschungserschwerende Schrift font, or is it the actual font that's illegal?

No to qualify for legal plates, your plates must have the UK legal font, legal spacing and sizing, be reflective, no illegal branding (i.e D band, fancy backgrounds, playboy pictures, german stickers, symbols etc), they must have the postcode of manufacture, and be white up front, yellow on rear.sajseven wrote:Is it legal if you opt for the GB side strip with the German Fälschungserschwerende Schrift font, or is it the actual font that's illegal?
That's the general jist of BS AU 145d standards.

Re: 6n 1.4 8v - opinions needed!!
But you do get rewarded by having better handling with the lower center of gravity. Just don't go excessively low which will probably ruin things.gilbo-6n wrote:cheers. i do agree it needs to go lower! but ya car starts rattlin like f**k inside

great thanks
Re: 6n 1.4 8v - opinions needed!!
cheers lol its on coilovers at the moment and the ride quality is still pretty good, coilovers cost me £40 on ebay so keep a look out for them! think its currently 30mm at front and 40mm at the back(might be the other way round) but it does need lowering more at the back to make it level.carlgannon wrote:I like it at the height it is, thats how i want mine, at least at that height the car looks like it isnt on stillts witout compremising ride quailty!
