yeah it was a little silly, it just pained me to raise it...every mil it just didnt look as cool lol!!

I remember when i first got them fitted, the guy lowered them to the lowest point possible thinking it was the highest, i walked up to it sat next to a mk5 golf & it looked almost half the size, people were actually stopping & pointing at it in the street, i then pulled onto my driveway & ripped all my tread off one of the front tyres, actual bent some of the bodywork of the front wing outwards!!!!..that got rid of my smile..

nothing like a seriously slammed mk5 gti in black! looks awesome!

Been ages since I updated this... thought I would stick a few more pics up of the most recent work ive had done on the GTI.... pretty much finished with the bodywork only bits left are - a small drivers mirror/rear handles so theres no key bits - and the roof smoothed... after Xmas its time for a retrim... took my BBS wheels off today and got the G60s on for winter... neways heres a few pics... the sides are smooth as well - as u cant really see it here!
