No offence mate, but why on earth do you need to have your car so low? Cars aren't designed to be run on such low suspension. Yes my first car was decked, but I was forever replacing suspension parts and bottoming it out on speed bumps etc. I eventually raised it 25mm after my garage warned me my drive shafts were about to pop! Needless to say I learnt my lesson and decked cars are not worth the hastle. There's no need to lower a car more than at the most 50mm. It will look good and still retain its use ability. Personally I think the Gti is perfect in stock form. Next to no body roll, good grip, handles well and looks good.

Also what wheels are they? They don't look like Monzas shadows. They look a bit naff really!

Since we are on a public forum where everyone is entitled to an opinion...that looks sh!t.  :whistle:

Front number plate removed and bumper smoothed too?
It all adds up.
Oh...are you going to tell me that sitting it on the dash is just as visible?

oh it gets even better, jesus christ, and people say that ED38 is the most b!tchiest forum? oh how they are wrong, thanks for you input about the car dude really taken on bored :) haha "haters gunna hate'

As for the number plate, normally it is placed it the window proply, and when it is, ive had traffic police say it is ok and fully viable where it is, and 2 MOT testers all so its fine where it is i would say thats more than enough to say its visable :) cheers

You are welcome  :grin:
You chose to put pictures up...you have to take all responses.
No wonder the Scene Queen comments got to you...are you sure Ed38 isn't more suited to your tastes?

This really is the trigger point for me...once the Mk6 GTI starts getting Chav'd up...it's time to flog it on.

Chav'd up? buddy I'm one of the must anti chav people there ever is? I'm called a chav because i want my car really low on a set of wheels and a smooth look??

last time i checked the "chav" look was kid who try to zoom around in there little 1.2's with boom boxes and neons, i totally understand the whole opinion stuff but your just being silly about it and being rude...
nothing nice to say, then don't say it, gets people alot further in life instead of slating people all the time.
everyone has their own preferences to how a car looks good, you don't think mine looks good, i probably wouldn't think yours is too great.
thats life though...

Jeez...you are touchy.
You were touchy from the first post...maybe posting on a public forum isn't for you?
You'll not get people massaging your ego on here...so man up and take it on the chin.

It's my opinion...and as far as I recall, I was still legally entitled to it.
Dumped in the weeds and smoothed = Chavvy in my book.
Maybe not yours...but I never said it was.

Er...once again...is this a public forum?
Did you post pictures looking for comments?
Maybe you should have stipulated "positive comments only please"...but you didn't.
I think it looks too low and awful because of it.

The difference is, I don't care if you like mine or not.
And I certainly wouldn't argue the toss, suggesting you were wrong with your opinion.

Seriously...please don't put your car up on a public web board then get upset if not everyone likes it.
Life is too short.

I don't hate it, just trying to lend some advice from my experience. Trust me you will be wasting a lot of money maintaining a car that low. You clearly have more money than sense! Lmao at previous comment, hee her!
