    So have upgraded brakes to GTI calipers and 288mm rotors. Now just put on a Whiteline 24mm adjustable sway bar what a difference! Getting all the Whiteline bushes in the next few weeks and front adjustable sway bar links

    It makes a huge difference!

    I've finally got the front lip for the front bumper lol been without it for over 12 months looks so much better. Had to modify it because of the intercooler

    Just replaced the rubbers in my dogbone mount with some harder polyurethane bushes from Dub Addiction. They make a huge difference in the feel of the engine and better shift response

    Nice work, it makes me sad whenever I see mk4s driving around without a front lip. You have to do much trimming around the core?

    I know how you feel lol

    Yeah it and the bumper needed trimming a fair bit but you can't tell by looking at it. I've nearly lost the lip already forgetting how low it is to the ground.

    Cars looking good! Just wondering where you picked up the front lip from? I'm looking for one as well but seems overpriced online.

    How are you guys enjoying your rear sway bars? Good investment ?

    I've got one (standard) in really good condition you could have for $50. Has one scrape along the bottom. PM me if you're interested
