I drove a polo with coilovers on the other day, although the ride is harder, it is less springy than the springs alone... Which I actually find more comfortable.. and the handling is amazing!

O yes on of course, I was looking at some wheels so need height adjustables

After waiting 1 and a half weeksfor Royal Mail to delivery - these have finally arrived!
4x 20mm hubcentric spacers



Watch this space!

Fitted them on just a moment ago - but found out that my wheel bulbs are too long
So first question is - where is the best place to get some shorter wheel bolts? or is there any way around it..

Secondly, I need all your opinions on the look.
My opinions was, it needed some wider wheels on the back, probably 7 or 7.5J also some slight stretched tyres..

All comments, suggestion and even criticisms appreciated!

stretched tyres and slam it!

looks much better mate. on the subject of wider wheels, they would already scrape as they are (speaking from experience, cos mine is at standard height with 20mm spacers and on 195 tires and it scrapes) so if you go for wider wheels you will need some good stretch like lets say 165/ 50 or maybe 175/50 imo

Thanks guys

Definitely looking at some stretch tyres, as my rear are coming to its limit now.
Also I would love to swap my springs for coilovers - I'll see how it is after I come back from hols

Anyone know which type of bolts I need and where I can get it from?

Received my fixed LEDs from tegwin today, so installed them back in again

fronts look great, backs might be a bit iffy with current tyres, defo get some stretched and drop! the cars lookin NICE!!

with the projector lights do you only have one headlight bulb?

because the standard polos like this have one bulb for sidelights which i know is the halo rings,

but then theres one bulb for dipped beam and one for high beam?

Correct. One for the dipped (HID) and one for the high beam. Both H7..

so what did you do about the high beam?
or just left it?

Yup just left it in - Actually I put my Phillip Nightbreakers in..

ah sounds like a plan, you use them much? the high beams?

cars looking nice, same colour as mine
