Thanks Lito
Does this include body kits? If the actual car frame and exhaust as such is above 100mm but the front lip goes under 100mm does that matter?

Yup any part of car, so your lip is counted. Even splash shields hanging to low can get you a yellow sticker. That's one of the great things about the r32 front bar, it doesn't hang as low as the stock one.

Thanks for the information, I've never really known where they measure from. Looks like I won't be lowering my car anymore than it already is which sucks :( (front lip at about 100mm while the sides are sitting about 200mm off the ground) might just have to get some side skirts.

Honestly driving a euro I don't think you'll get hassled too much. I say go lower and just take the lip off if you get defected and need to go through the pits. You got a 2.0 right? Means you don't have to worry about your sump being the lowest point on the car:facepalm:

Yeh I guess haha, unfortunately I've got a slow 1.6l but the lip sits the lowest.

Your subframe or dogbone mount will be the lowest if its stock.
Best thing is cops always look for a low exhaust or low side skirts (commodores etc) so most police don't pay golfs any attention :P

They roll a wheel on a stick under the car, everything was fine untill it hit the subframe

...fair call too i'd say :P

Got a wheel alignment. Car now goes straight !
While everyone is talking about height. I got down with a tape measure, lowest part of the car is 98mm from the ground. This is the plastic engine splash tray and sides, which are hanging a bit low, broken mountings etc. If I get some replacements, or get handy with wire I'm sure I could get it up the required 2mm. Or I could just rip them out.
Chassis rails are 110mm.
My driveway, speed bumps at work and local shopping centre are not an issue.
