Aren't the Bars removable anyway? I'm pretty sure that if i pulled on mine they moved about. Can't remember if that was the mk3 or mk2 though.

The black bits do come off but not the whole bar.

yeah its stance is all wrong. back needs to go a touch lower, and front a lot lower. i need to unseize one of the coilovers and get a sump guard made up first.

also i running the front camber as 0.0 (trial) and it doesnt feel right nor does it look right, so im going to go a touch of negative camber, was thinking -1.0? or is that a little too much?

and the bars have removable covers, but the actually bars are part of the bumper like adam said.

You should crop it into a letterbox / panoramic format. It'll look even better then.

This looks so much more swish now it has the bumper and cooler sorted.

Nice work!

Thanks for the comments :afro:


UPDATE:

Had it on the rolling road again today, part of the street-styler-southwest meet at Alan Jeffery's - enginetuner.co.uk (less than a minute drive from my house; bonus!).  Results:

240bhp & 273lb-ft

Quite pleased with that! especially the torque figures, much more up from last time. Although im not sure on the power at the wheels, dont think its on the print out, unless im being stupid lol.


Got a bit to do tomorrow. handbrake adjustment, bumper smoothing and more stickers!
