So, owned a 'b' 3 years ago. Then went and bought a Polo 6n.

Now that i have taken it off the road for an engine swap, i went and bought a 'b' to potter around in.

Thing is i bought coilovers and smoked rear lights the day before i picked the car up and it hasn't stopped since then really. Plus;

-Flat Blade Wiper
-Smoked Side Repeaters
-GSi Spoiler (need to paint before fitting)
-Smoked FlyEye Headlight Film


It wont go as far as my polo has but as long as its low and tidy its all good.

Only have a few pics so far as im running odd wheels. Just need to get my other two SXi wheels painted so i can put them on the rear, then sort out lowering the rear.





Got a few plans for it, but were see how things go.

Let me know what you guys think

Not sure tbh how much of a drop. Coilovers are totally wound down and have removed the helper spring.

Running a 165/45/15 on the front and will be a 165/50/15 on the rear. There such a simple wheel, which works so well i think.

Thanks haha yea bumper loves the taste of tarmac.

Do want to get the front a little bit lower tho...

My sump/manifold would be dragging that low

You should bring the back down a bit otherwise, it's a good start
