Well jv lol! I'm putting GTI suspension on the car as I can't afford to buy and insure myself with it lowered properly. So I'm cheating for 20mm lol!

Keep 'em if you like stone chip free paint! :rolleyes:

I've kept mine purely for the practical reasons although they do make the car look even lower! :evil:

As for removing them - you don't need to take the wheels off at all! :afro:

How do you get them off without taking the wheels off then?

The rears should just be screwed on the bumper with self tappers so you can get in there with a phillips head screw driver either at an angle or just get a short one.

The front are just allen key tightened clamps, you'll probably be able to just pull them off but if you can't spray them with WD40 the night before then grab some grips (to stop the clamps turning) and an allen key to slacken them off, at worst you'll just have to turn the wheel to give you more access!

Easy peasy!! :grin:
