Har har har..yea they can be taken of but i find it easier to tape up and spray right round the car so i its all even and i dont have to worry about dropping bits and scraping them trying to refit..anyway thats a kind of each to there own!

Heres the finished product, still waiting on my valance tho

Hey that is a massive transformation.
Have a search for member No457 Snowy, he has a white GTI, I think he coded the rear valance. That car could be some good inspiration.

Snowys car is sooo tidy.
are the indicators full faded or is it just the photo...? some fresh clear ones will finish the side of the car off nicely

[mickysexton]

yea a set off clears is on the list..just tidied up the interior a bit yesterday..





still needs a bit of tlc but i never really get time with work and

nothing wrong with a mk4 1.6 - check my thread - they can come out awesome, lol !

Haha, I'm heading down the same path too! My nice 1.6L colour, but getting in a GTI donk, about the same price as replacing the 1.6L gearbox! Beware the 1.6L gearbox Micky! And good luck, love to see the rims on it now, made a MASSIVE difference to my car.

looks good colour coded,but did any paint get under the door handles??

and i hope you covered the car with plastic (overspray)

[mickysexton]

ended up taking the door handles offas i couldnt get in to the gaps, nah had an extractor fan from work so overspray was kept to a minium thank god

can anybody help find me a front valance that doesnt cost me an arm and a leg?????

You could try a wreckers, or maybe Joe @ Golfwagen (Elite Euro) - he usually has a stash of parts

[mickysexton]

Liking the wheels but not the 4x4 hieght..needs the coilovers fitted theis weekend!

Suggestions welcome!

Looking good now

But the photochop is too low.
I like to see just a 20-25mm gap above the wheel.
The rear will come forward a bit when lowered that far, they never sit in the middle of the arch.
I doubt you'd get a front valance on.

Could do with the rear wheel coming out just a smidge.

[dylan8]

please lower it for even wheel gap. we drive euros not falcoons and holdens. looks much nicer.
Check out Sams while mk4 golf, he had the same wheels, looked pretty damn tidy in person

[mickysexton]

haha i know was just toying around..got myself a set of 60mm lowering springs so it shouud sit nice and 3mm spacers for the rear..tidy it up hopefully

Interesting to see what it turns out like. Watch for the front sway bar rubbing.. Mine does slightly and I have about 10mm wheel gap. Every cars different though. you might get away with it!

This.

I bet you'll want more then 3mm spacers by the time you finish lowering and it all sucks in
