Looking sweet.
Again, though - why not just get a 6n2 lol?
How much did you lower yours by, looks the perfect amount IMO...

I'd like to know how much you lowered by initially, before the suspension settled down for that look?
Looking forward to seeing this gti conversion, so what you going to do with the old engine?

cheers people, to fit the GTi engine you need to change the engine loom, which has completetly different connectors to the 6n, so the easiest option was to convert the wiring to 6n2, but as in the earlyier post i got the COMPLTE interior for £45 so cant complain at that realy! lol and TBH im not sure how much its lowered i just adjusted it till it looked ok~? polo-sib old engine needs a new crank so stripping it and selling it for parts

Nice conversion there, putting in the matching mk5 looms/wiring + ECU saves you a lot of hassle in getting all the electronics to work properly! Too bad the 8v project's up for sale now, got it on a rolling road before taking it out though? I'm still curious to know what it pushed out.

Big I sent you a PM in regards to some engine parts since your scrapping the engine, I'm after your 1.6 heads
Don't worry I just bought a 1.6 engine instead for a bargain price... Is it possible to know what clearence you have between your arch and wheel so I can aim around that margin for when I lower?
