Hi,

I'm not actually even sure its been lowered, i bought the car with the current suspension so cannot be sure, but they do not appear to be aftermarket so think it's just that my front shock's are shagged lol.
Getting the anniversery lights next week, then need to save some cash for things other than the car. After that though coilover's are next on the list.

Still undecided about the grill, suits the bumper valance but considering going back to a standard but de-badged grill. Could do with a photoshop of it if anyone's got a minute.

Cheers, Sam

Hi,

Yep springs are usual rusty black colour and shocks have the vw/audi logo on them so it would appear to be all standard.

Yep the rims are 18" R32 replica's in hyper silver, i was originally going to go for 19's but after weighing up the price of tyres and also you can only get R32 rims in 18's i decided to get these.

Here's one last picture of the back end just so you get an idea of what the whole car looks like although this is in the plans to be changed too!



Cheers for the kind comments, Sam
