The addition of the fogs, tinted windows and the painted door handles make a difference! This is my first car so i'm new too it aswell. I have so many ideas but its hard to actually find the places and get the money to get things done :L

Yeah they're the best in my opinion. I'm gonna enquire about some VW Motorsport springs when I can be bothered, failing that i'll settle for some H&R 25/40's as well :)

Hi mate. TBH, I wouldn't bother with the shocks if your original ones are in good condition. They will wear quicker, but why swap them now, your just wasting money. Let's be honest, its a 3 pot 1.2, so your springs are only a cosmetic addition. Just wear out the originals and then think of getting some Bilstein Gas shocks, or replacing the originals like for like.

Is it possible to fit the springs yourself or has it to be done at a garage?
