well done with the style you choose mate :wink:

there are these cheap coilovers but as always you get what you pay for, so they might be quite stiffer than other coilovers and not having that much of a quality built. so if I where you if possible I save up to twice the price of these coilovers and buy some good brand.

as for the de badged grill, some grills like the once FK sells are supplied with a piece to fill the notch to fill the bonnet, but best go for the professional look and weld the notch out. that s what I ll be doing soon hopefully if the budget permits it hehe

good luck with the build :)

If I was you I'd go for the GTI Grill. Recentley fitted mine and it look brilliant. I did have a de-badged grill before but it had a horrible little semi-circle which would have costed me a hell of a lot of money to get it smoothed and re-sprayed. So yeah if I was you I'd go for a GTI Grill you can pick one up for £35-£50. It really does look good!.

And for the coilovers, im also in the same boat as you. Because i as a "student" and am on a budget am not willing to spend anymore than £500 on a set of coilovers. I think I'm going to go for a set of JOM Coilovers which I've heard arent that bad.

Good Luck!

If you have £500 as budget for coilovers you can buy pretty good brands such as AP, Weitec or Apex but not JOM :shock:

have a good lock here mate before you buy ;) http://www.venommotorsport.com/prod_cat ... versal=Yes

About the coilovers, would just the springs work for now as they are cheap :P i would eventually get coilovers of course but just wondering if they work lol.

And i will look into the grille :D How much is it to fill your bonnet in approx?
Im just trying to way up my options :wink:

Thanks.
