Stunning car. Those subtle mods are spot on.

Do you have any issues scraping the front lip being that low?
Thanks buddy, no problems with any scraping yet, I have to negotiate speed bumps on my trip to work and haven't touched any yet! :smiley:

Crikey, have you cut some of the floor pan out Mark, surprised you can see over the dashboard with your drivers seat that low :laugh:!
:grin: Haha, it's not that bad trust me! :wink:

That's a serious drop for a set of springs  :shocked: Is it 60mm? Looks great though  :cool:
Not low enough mk5
Not on the road enough mk3

Its supposed to be a 30mm drop but it does look more! I haven't scraped anything yet so maybe its an optical illusion. Looks spot on though! Glad you all approve  :cool:

It looks a lot more than 30  :grin: I'm dropped 65ish on coils and it looks to be a similar height to yours  :grin: Maybe it's because the GTI is dropped 15mm or so from factory in the first place.

Nice to see a pirelli gti. The wheels do look nice and makes a nice change from all the pescara and monza. What you got planned for it in the future?

The wheels look better in real life as they are quite three dimensional. You get a lot of light glinting off them at slow speed.  :cool:
I've been a target for 'halfords spec' saxos for almost three years now!

Thanks guys for the positive comments! :cool:
As for future plans, with it being such a rare Mk5 I wont be taking it much further, the only thing left for me to do now is just get my S3 brakes fitted and that will be pretty much it.
