The addition of the fogs, tinted windows and the painted door handles make a difference! This is my first car so i'm new too it aswell. I have so many ideas but its hard to actually find the places and get the money to get things done :L

Yeah they're the best in my opinion. I'm gonna enquire about some VW Motorsport springs when I can be bothered, failing that i'll settle for some H&R 25/40's as well :)

Hi mate. TBH, I wouldn't bother with the shocks if your original ones are in good condition. They will wear quicker, but why swap them now, your just wasting money. Let's be honest, its a 3 pot 1.2, so your springs are only a cosmetic addition. Just wear out the originals and then think of getting some Bilstein Gas shocks, or replacing the originals like for like.

True, im not gonna be driving a huge amount either so would be pointless upgrading :) Have the springs in my boot, just waiting to get the word when my mate can fit them :D

Is it possible to fit the springs yourself or has it to be done at a garage?
