Lowering Options - MK2 Fabia vRS

[fabianoh5n1]

depending on what the definition of "tuning" is in your mind .

some ppl like the OEM`ish look some ppl like it extreme.

did i hear 70mm ?

OMG! Looks horrible in my eyes... As soon as the "circles" of the wheel and the arch stop looking cocentric it looks like you've filled the boot with bricks or something. Not to mention the problematic functionality of the suspension on most kinds of roads. I think just painting it pink with yellow stripes would achieve the exact same effect (pointing at the car while laughing their a** out loud) and it would still be driveable... Each to his own though!

Moving back on to the lowering options available

The Skoda Eibach's are pretty easy to find, but other people might find it useful to have part/model numbers listed for the other options to avoid any confusion.

For example I noticed from http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/section.php?xSec=1079&xPage=1 that they list various H&R options.

Am I right in assuming http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/product.php?xProd=50804&xSec=1079 are the H&R springs that others here have used?

I appreciate your views, and everyone else likes different heights, but it could of been lowered that low just for show?

It might not be practical, I don't know if I'd have the patience to drive around like that lol but like you said each to his own

I still think it looks good though!

[fabianoh5n1]

and the fact that noone noticed that the Picture is Photoshoped .

[Leon-y-k]

ahhh you git! hah! you caused a right stir :p

[fabianoh5n1]

we just grabed a random picture and shoped so we knew wich suspension we buy,

we went for the KW var3 clubsport Low version .

thats the car atm

[stu_mcl]

Think im gonna steal the black front spolier idea, looked quality imo have to say they look good really low

[fabianoh5n1]

yeah iam going to wrap to bottom part of my front bumper on Monday, should look like this .

one side agressive line other side soft line , my photoshop skills suck , took me like 2 hours to try this but at the end a friend made it in around 5 mins just to lemme know how it should look .

[stu_mcl]

That looks the shizz with the intercooler

[Leon-y-k]

Looks good!! 5 hours? give it a few days of playing and on youtube, you can be a master!

[vRSy]

What is the difference between those 2 pics there^^. I cant see any difference!! I do like the black lower spoiler though

Can some photoshop guru do that black lower grill wrap on a white vRS with black roof/alloys please. Im not one for doing mods to the exterior but i think this might actually look pretty good, especially with the tinted headlamps. Was thinking do i get VWRacing to do my big brake kit in white so they stand out behind the alloys as well....

[stu_mcl]

Not tempted todo ur lights sy?

[vRSy]

I wanted the black pack but it wasnt available when i bought mine. think the black pack came out the month after!!!!

[Leon-y-k]

Like this?

[stu_mcl]

Never seen white brakes before....do it

I was looking at buying a green and white one where the rear diffuser, honey comb grill and the slatted grill and chrome had all been painted white which looked pretty smart

[vRSy]

Like this?

Cheers mate. Thats food for thought. Could you try and stretch the black out a little further please like this one.

How hard is it to show the tinted lights or is that pretty ninja with photoshop

Cheers

Sy

[Leon-y-k]

Oh you wanted me to tint the headlights?

[vRSy]

Il be taking these photos away for further perusing. Cheers pal :beer:

[Ad Lav]

Not bad...

Would wrap it rather than paint just incase it looks poo

[Wilko251088]

Awesome Skoda have agreed to send me a set of eibach lowering springs foc ;-)

[Wilko251088]

The 20mm"s on these pictures look alright, they must settle down slightly after fitting?

[Ad Lav]

Eibachs FOC Nice!

I'd like a set too...
