few questions- what spacers are they, did they come with extension bolts? if not were did you get them from?

car looks mint mate

makes alot of difference with the wheels not hiding in the arch lol

think Mouse ment OEM looking modifications, which it does to the un-trained eye. Looks very nice Andy really clean and tidy good work

Love it!

Have you raised it up from when you first lowered it?

bepe - the spacers are hubcentric ones - the spacers bolt to the hub (with special supplied bolts) and then you bolt the wheel to the spacer using the original bolts.

Cymru - yea its been raised quite a bit since i last put pics up, theres no way i could run it that low with the spacers on!

Next up will be colour coded splitter, not sure what else but its definately got to be OEM+.

Suggestions welcome!

haha yea, those budget coilovers from PhilJ on clubpolo are crazy.

there still was about 3 inches of thread left on them when it was like that, whats that all about?!

She is looking great like, but i want it lower!

Anyways, you can hardly call it an oem+ car? What, a set of coilovers makes a car oem+?? Surely not!

I'm sure what andy has planned will make the car oem+, but i wouldnt say it is that just now is it??

Don't think i'm creating an argument, just a healthy debate as to how much it takes to actually make a car oem+

OEM+ or not it's very subtle and the ride hight is spot on
