Re: Help me choose visual tuning and exhaust
love the yellow ! not seen a yellow one before stands out a lot.
as for the wheels maybe try a lower profile tyre ? that will make the rim look bigger and make the car look lower.
however the only 'real' way to do it would be to lower it using some springs or coilovers.

btw for all those who are like "17 or no deal". These are 16s. Not a huge difference in looks but slightly cheaper and also smoother ride on bad roads.
Also those are replicas WSP Italy W444 Ciprus — 120E per disk.

i am wondering what lowering actually does in terms of drive comfort. Does it get less comfortable if you lower it by 2-3cm?

If you put in lowering springs the ride will become noticeably harder but you get used to it

i could buy them black in the first place but i dont like black footwear.
like 95% of my shoes are adidas superstar (white)
and yes i got stuck in 90s xD
Can anyone explain me why increasing wheel radius is giving me harder ride?
The way i am seeing it — springs didnt change and there is plently of room between wheels and wheel arcs so why same springs give me harder ride?
cant understand it

Because the larger sidewall of the tyre from the smaller wheel acts like a cushion, by increasing the wheel size you are decreasing the tyre sidewall dimension and therefore the cushion effect is dramatically reduced.
The larger sidewall tyre will compress under load and give you a soft ride, the smaller sidewall tyre is stronger and will not flex as much when cornering. That is why larger wheels give you better handling around corners.

^ They are becoming commonplace around here I work in metalwork and fabrication so I'm always drawing and making stuff.
Re: My polo 6r 1.4i. Savanna yellow [edited]
ok, so after a lot of hesitation i finally decided to lower the car a bit.
What would be the best bet to lower A BIT (dont like when ride is TOO hard), not too expensive and not too rare / easy to get / install? =)
do such coilovers exist? =)

Matte black roof done today. Looks really awesome, gonna post picks tomorrow.
One more thing i realized AFTER i done it is that i can do matte black on bumper as well.
Here is a sketch. Looks cool imo.
