Obviously do it the same colour as the car

,
Pay Halfords a visit to find the right paint. You'll need to look under the bonnet for the exact paint you need.
I want to do this aswell, but it somehow seems a bad idea to do it in the winter as I dont have a garage.

noooooo - don't buy your paint from halfauds, it never matches, get it from vw

Thought Id dig this post up instead of creating one from scratch.. I dont know why...

Anyways... I cant find anyone to lower my car cheaper than Â£100.
What do you think is Â£100 about right?
He said its Â£100 whether he changes just the springs or springs & shocks...

Thanks!

I dont know if its just my bad luck but after lowering my car 60mm I encountered a lot of problems and it cost me a fair bit to, anyone else have any problems after they lowered there car

What sort of problems did you some across?

After lowering you may need your wheel aligned & your camber done.

ps. what size wheels do you have?

^ Cheers mate. I dont think I'll find it cheaper so I guess I'll get that done in a month or so. The plan was to get it done by the end of Feb but I got my wallet cleaned out yesterday.
