You got a pic of the a8 18's you're cars on? side view?

I was under the impression they'd look bigger :|

Havent got a side view pic here, but they look bigger when its dropped, you got to remember my car is on 1.4 suspension, which is 30mm higher than a standard gti - coilies will on in the next week or so (hopefully!)

fork out for a GTI;

what perplexes me is that you got more money for mods than you have insurance??  surely it should be the other way around?? and besides you can always save up and do a mod every couple of months.  thats what i tend to do    managed to complete most of what i've wanted to do in less than 2 years which i don't see as being a great length of time

Hmm, recently discovered Bell insurance will do the Golf 115bhp for an extra £100 to my current car, so that's worth looking at..

If I get the GTi, I guess I'll save that £100 on the colour coding, but would need to look for different springs etc..

What's a good mileage to look for? I was originally thinking 30k, but golfs drive on forever and i'll be doing 15k a year.. Should I be looking for one in the 50's 60's and be safe with it all?

I have a GTi 115 at the min. its on an 03 plate with 45000 stands me at 6k. you should get as lower mileage as you can afford.

i just ordered an ajustable lowering kit yesterday and the modified arb for 597 delivered. lots of pennies indeed but i wanted desent kit so as not to be doing it again soon.

Also, did you know that if you go lower than 40mm there is a chance the drive shafts will rub on the standard arb. (apologies if you already knew)
