Well done Han, looking good.  :cool: Seriously though, coilovers are a hard ride as people have said and they're not cheap, I think you'd be best settling for a budget spring and shocks set to lower it by about 40mm and save yourself some cash, then when you get your first GTI then look to put coilovers on something like that.  :wink:

What about putting some clear side repeaters on too.  :undecided:

Pro you should definately get yourself a MK2, I've had my first one for a week now and it is great. Never had a MK3 so can't really compare, had a wicked MK1 (tears are welling up) but this one seems better so far.

i like it, has that clean factory standard look.. the ride height doesnt even bother me that much.

i hope we can convince you to get smoked side repeaters at E38 though.. maybe  some smoked rears too :cool:
