Re: Jimmy's Gti **Progress Thread** SMALL UPDATE PG2

Like it like it.... Erm tcut as polish is ok for the first time to remove any surface swirls and scratches but it's more a cutting compound.. U would be hard pushed to actually remove this clear over base paint....

As for your stance... Dropping it will only give you 1/3 of your stance needs that being the lowness.
2/3 is your poke being spacers and how much your wheels are out by..
3/3 is your camber, wheel tops pointing in or like me being helaflush and running dead inline with the wings and stretch tyres to finish of course.....

That is true stance ha....

Colour code your lower splitter dude will look better, way better...
Haha thought YOU'D like the toe strap lmao thanks for that mate Looking to have a good few days on it next week got another splitter with the new bumper i bought so with the smoothing im going to colour code it and then smooth the one on the car with a gloss black splitter to swap pic an choose when i like

Project stance will be done by end of the month in talks about getting some wheels then stretch wheels and drop thanks or the advice is there any giudes on how to actually whind down the coilies????

Thanks to you all for comments all of u :)
