I'd rather wait to get the proper amount for them. If someone can sell brand new FKs on ebay for £365 plus £20 postage then I think I can justify asking for £329 posted as there's just the same warranty on these.

I'm open to offers but yours was too low, which is pretty reasonable. How far you're willing to travel doesn't really make any difference when I can post them for £15, and it's in the asking price anyway.

When you first expressed interest (I think it was the same steve, but it may not have been) they were up at £330 plus postage and you almost offered a deposit, if you'd have said your final price was £250 I'd have explained that was too low then.

sorry for any confusion.

anyhow, free bump, I think the price is good and would have snapped my own arm off if I actually wanted any :). there has been plenty of interest but no-one seems to want to spend cash at the moment.

Could be the price perhaps...£299 par example would be more benficial mentally as people think oo under 300 squid

yeah I could do them for £299 and add £25 postage I guess!

tried ebay, had people offering £50 and so on. didn't try an auction..... I could give that a whirl but after a few goes it's a tenner lost... and so on and so forth!

I'm patient, honest! 8)

officially it's "50mm" I believe, but ask anyone who's got them and they'll go as low as you can get away with to be honest! have a quick post in the mk6 or mk7 section and see what people say.

I'm pretty sure they'll do -80mm from what I've seen on other polos.

they will fit a mk7, yes. it's the same underpinnings as the mk6.

You will only remove suspension from your warranty - the rest of the car will be fine.

VW is a component warranty - if you change a part, any related parts to that part will no longer be under warranty :)

So you can do suspension with no issues - its a good make so it wont cause problems whatsoever.

yeah, to be honest the suspension shouldn't give any issues at all, especially with the warranty.

just let me know whenever if you want them, I'm waiting on a response from a girl who made an offer, just need to know if she's accepting my return email or not - will keep you posted!
