Hi Guys

My car actually looks like its on stilts at the mo so i have tried to lower it as best i can :rofl:

Didnt take too long, its not the best but it gives you an idea :)

good job mate, looks very like the GTi now.

Wish my SE TDI had looked a bit more like that!

You know you want some spacers and coilovers!!!

Nice Polo by the way! Looking very nice indeed.

Don't suppose you're a member of uk-polos.net are you?

Josh I need to speak to you with regards to spacers ;)

Spacers need longer bolts right? Its something I sometimes ponder but would be too scared without buying bolts that were longer than standard, the same amount as the spacer width.

I had bolts which were matched to the spacers (ie 20mm longer than stock).

As the spacers were hubcentric, it's the hub that carries the load, and not the bolts.

They were TUV approved iirc, so they can't have been that scary! lol

I fancy some for the back of the fabia actually, but I'll wait until I've lowered it and I'll make a decision then as to how wide to get them.

Yup' date=' i am a member of uk-polos.net and porka.net (someone has too) porka.net that is, nowhere near as good as uk-polos and briskoda tho, just full of m*pp*ts on porka (i will get shot if anyone off porka comes on here)

I was joint club founder of [url']www.vwpoloclub.co.uk[/url] but new business and other commitments meant we had to close / stop the club :(

Nice GTi you had, admired it at the polo show in 2003 and then admired the Furby vRS in 2004 :thumbup:

Ahh sweet!

Damn, I didn't realise NWPOC had closed down. You had a really nice stand at UVW that year (long time ago!).

See you at this year's Polo Show!

Yup, will do mate,

NWPOC was a good club (when we had time to do stuff) yeah, i remember now, obviously, i have seen you since but you came over to us the first year at utterly on a Raleigh Chopper ! (i think)

God, that was a few years back :rofl:

Yep, that will have been me!

lol
