Cop was harsh. Half the stuff he just rattled out his arse.

He can't give emissions defects, intake was in guard.

Only got them cleared that morning she's back to former glory as of 10 minutes ago.

Cheers - yes she likes it. She says the new rims makes it lough 'tough'

Giving it a thorough buff and polish this week to remove some swirls left my the original owner. This new Menzerna buffing compound i got is proving to be quite good.

Done about 200km on them now and they are fine. They ride well. Smoother than my Golf R (although thats probably more due to the 19"s on the R).

thanks, got a stock CW 2012 last christmas, been meaning to get some lowering springs from the get go. have been lurking in the forums for far too long and have been tossing between the H&R, VWR and now the SPMs

**Lucas_R** · 05-04-2014, 08:13 PM

I would go for either the H&R or the SPM's. Ive got the H&R's in my R but decided to try the SPM's in the GTI.

Tinted the reflectors in the rear bar yesterday, and have scored a used Eurojet dump pipe from my friend who is selling his car.

I originally installed the dump pipe on his car a few years ago - so i know it fits well.

Before:

After: (tint film - looks darker than it actually is)

nice, man! that stance is perfect - sure you can go lower if you want to point the wishbones upwards / shorten suspension stroke / drive slow / mess up your handling / frequent fast food parking lots so you can look at your car, rather than drive it

i think that looks perf!
