beleive me thats next on the agenda!!
Im looking at a Bilstein PSS9 coilover kit. lowers front by up to 50mm, rear by up to 40mm. both ride AND height adjustable.
retail on the kit is about £1000. we sell it at work for £895. Trade price on it is about £830.
My staff price though is £512
working in the motor trade has serious advantages when it comes to this kind of kit!!

oh- the exhaust is by a company called "longlife". I have never heard of them personally! its a 6"x4" rear box. sounds a little loud for my liking but i can live with it. reciept for it shows £350!!!
If you want more info i can dig out the reciept and send you contact details?

im loving it! i know what alot of people might suggest, and that would be to colour-code your front splitter, but don't! it gives a nice contrast and goes excellent with the wheels
You certainly got a bloody good bargain there! theres a polo gti at my local garage, 66,000 miles, silver, no leather and corroded bbs alloys for...wait for it... 5950!!!!

Very nice Gti mate! Is that a different gear knob!? looks nasty!!
Nice seats!!

Its a Wolfsburg Edition 'knob
So, Longlife eh? No worries mate, like Powerflow and Exhausts UK, they're a custom exhaust sytem builder with branches around the UK. £350 sounds about right for a cat-back stainless system. When I can afford it, I'll be getting a similar system but probably hidden away behind the bumper. The key words there, "when", "afford", "I", "it" and "can"
