Josh! I found who stole your car! ha ha ha!

Very very sweet...just wish I dared to be this low...I know the underside of my car wouldn't last a day, especially with the speed bumps round my area!

I also like the colour coded front spoiler...does make a difference on your car...not sure about mine thought because it's black!

Shweet! 8)

Not a chance i could go that low with the state of the roads round my area. I'm loving the number plate as well. How much did you pay for it?

Welcome to the forum and hopefully we'll see you at a future meet!

Hi John

Welcome to the forum!

Your car looks great mate.

I was going to say it looks smashing, but I've been getting flack on here for using 1940's words, so I'll just say it's great!

I sold my GTi to a bloke from Fife... Not sure if you've seen it knocking about around your way?

Satin Silver, Slammed etc etc... ?

I can. That's some difference John. Hopefully mine will be going down soon. Not as low mind you but at least it won't sit like a 4x4. lol.
