Looks as low as mine.

I have just put 195/40/16 Tyres on my 8" wide front rims that has lowered the front an extra 10mm and I now hit my subframe on the road all the time  :sad: had to drive to wells at 40/50. Did get 40mpg with a high lift cam though

my black mk2 was that low at the front my subframe was always hitting something even on a slitely wobly road you would hear scrap then a bang that scares the fcuk out of you specialy if you doing 80  :grin:
i had to take the vr front splitter off and put gti one on as the vr one would be scraping the road  :grin:
bottom of my subframe was bar metal if you looked under the car. :grin:
