looks good dude, but IMO get rid of the camber in the front there's no need for that until you try running wheels that are too wide.

+1 on that. Does look good though mate!  Its nice to see a 17 year old taking pride in their motor instead of runnin round nicking bits off everyone else's!! :grin: :grin:

I don't think it is particularly rare, it was just never done on any of the GTi or VR6 models I don't think :) I have left my original back box as well. I don't see the point in upgrading stuff like that unless you have a GTi or VR6 either!

Be careful!, roads are going to get sh*t very soon if they haven't already!

Congratulations on passing that test!

Car looks good for your first project, I think you have done really well.  Mine is down 80mm at the front and your arch gap looks pretty similar.  what are your next plans?
