being low is really starting to suck (rieger lip)

Post by polo2k »

so today i roll into work and notice weve got a few wings on promo at -30% so i half heartedly look throught them and burried beneath i forund a rieger front lip (the bulbous one) at -50% :shock: so i made a decision : "thats mine". so i pay for it and all and in the exening when i leave i thought why not see how it looks, pretty good idea i though, guess what; i cant get it under the bumper im too low :evil: oh the joys of being low. this however gives me the opertunity to do a little somthing special :D

So on the topic of being low, I vaguely remember you saying something about getting some ünterbodenschütz or something... Is that still on the wishlist or is it on already?

Who makes skidplates anyway? 8)

Yeah, skidplates!

You'll probably have a different word for it but the Americans call it a skid plate. It's the bit of metal that saves the oil pan from cracking. Not an oem option on the polo mind, it is on the Golf though.

yeah ive got an omp skid pklate there about 120 quid for the light version but its solid. itas not filled yet cos its for a mk4 and to fit it to a mk5 you need to drill a couple of holes but in the mean time my lower strut brace is saving the day cos yesterday i was out on a backroad and there was a 4x4 comiing the other way who wouldnt go off road :evil: so i had to which left me rocking on the bar :shock: after he fu**ed off i had to gun her to get her off the erde of the tarmac and back onto the road, you cant even imagine the noises that i heard they were horrible

blackpologti:- how much of a drop is that cos im 70mm up front and 60 out back and still look 4x4 next to you plus im runnin 15`2 and she rubs like a sob :!:

That's it. But metal instead of the OEM-plastic bit.

Can come in handy with us all being so low... :D
