Hey fox,

I'm looking the finish the look of my 6C.

She's currently lowered with Eibach lowering spring (-30mm front and rear):

The last thing should be some wheelspacer to make it nice.
The car has already 136000 km and runs fine, almost as factory :mrgreen:

My goal is not to destroy the wheel bearing of destroy wheel arch panel at each bump on the road

I'd recommend to not go over 12mm, then it might start rubbing at the front wheel lining.

Your car is tripping my OCD with that rear wheel not centered in the arch.

These might help:

Ahaha yes a little bit, I have to say.

But for me it's okay, for now.
My rear axle is a little bit different, this is the right product: https://epytec.de/en/chassis/axle-offse ... koda-fabia

Interestig. Two different approaches there to fixing the centering.
The ECS one goes under the axle mount to shift the whole axle rearward, and also affecting the swing point of the axle to a lower point. No change in wheel spacing.
The other one moves the location of the hub, but at the same time is a 10mm spacer.

Yup, it's like a 2 in 1.

I already saw this kind of product, but first time I saw this kind for the Polo 6R/6C

polo doesnt have the bolts for the mounting plate. Its just welded to the body/chassis. Its just one bolt for the bushing. (its not like mk4 golf)

Yes, you're correct. Can't remember what is was like under there. Mainly because if I do go back under there then I'm going to tempted to clean my dirty caliper slide pins and I'm not in the mood for that right now. :)
