Please can anyone with a lowered 6n2 1.4 TDi please post a picture so I can decide how much to lower mine.
I've seen lowering springs that lower 30mm, 40mm, 50mm or 60mm.
But I don't know which would look best until I see some pictures.
Thanks in advance.

Down 60mm on springs and shocks, on 16" BBS RS764's, spaced out with 15mm spacers at the front and 20mm at the back.
Definitely go for a set of decent coilovers, if you can stretch to them, such as KW, H&R, Koni, etc. If you can't, definitely go for H&R or Eibach springs. I had H&R springs on last year, and they gave a much more comfortable ride than my current spring/shock combo.

Your car looks stunning, mate.
Don't think I can afford coilovers.
I had them on my last car, a Civic VTi, but I can't afford them for my Polo just yet as I'm on a money saving exercise
If your Polo is lowered 60mm, I think I'll go for 40-50mm as I have to use it on bumpy roads everyday.

Cheers
If you want to go down around 50mm, I'd definitely recommend the Eibach Sportline springs.

I'll be looking at buying Eibach or H & R for the Polo
I've had Eibach before on a CRX VT and they were brilliant
