Looks really nice now dom its lowered  I like the de-badged grill but I do prefer the badged grill.Coming along really nice now though bud.I know the feeling spending money my inner cv boots gone and clicking plush she needs a service and tax up next month  got it booked in end of month

Looks better

One thing you had the camber and tracking sorted then raised the rear you may find it is now out.

cant see it needing looking at, adjustment is only on the front on the mk 3

I'll get someone to photoshop the grill on for me and see what I think

Yes but by raising the rear you may have put it out if that makes sense.

I get what your saying Wayne. Also I think the springs have bedded in a bit which may also effect it.

I fitted new rear top mounts this evening, no more nasty knocking 

Also took my dad out for a spin in the car. He was very interested to see what the ride was like (i'd been talking through the pros and cons of cheap coilovers with him, before I bought mine).

Bearing in mind he's 62 in a couple of months (and used to 'comfortable' cars) he thought the ride was very good. He described it as firm but definately not harsh, also a lot of fun in the twisty bits 

I've read countless times on here that the ride will be aweful and i'll regret buying cheap coilovers, however I completely disagree. I wouldn't go as far as saying the ride is great, but it's definately good and reasonably comfortable. For the money they're excellent!

Ok, so removed the yellow plug under the airbox that controls the dim dip. This is how my lights looks with just the sidelights on, no more yellow/orange glow

Boy am i glad to hear that, mind you, different car but still, cant be any worse than the semi-siezed shocks mines on at the mo... might actually get round to doing mine soon.

People are too fussy that's the problem, and some of the 'older' members on here moan seeing as they are grumpy old men.  Cheap coilovers FTW.

Lets see, creaking all the time, car not level, no ride comfort at all plus people have had the fail within 6mths of fitting them.
