      Look at how well the 'pillarless' look works on the other golf in the photo...

      I didn't even notice that! Haha TBH it's actually kind of converting me on it. I might try it if I can find some time, see how it goes

        Maybe very ghetto but if you just want to see what it may look like, stick some black electrical tape on it, stand back and have a look.

          I Agree with blacking the b pillars makes it look smoother. That and removing the rub strips but thats a bit more messing around. Check sig for what it looks like

            Also, it will obviously look a lot more 'seamless' with tinted windows, but that's another decision.. And I don't mind the un-tinted clear windows for a change.. Kind of works with the silver body.

                  Maybe get a can of Plasti Dip and give it a try...if it looks **** you can just peel it right off

                  So how low did you go? 30mm?

                    Creak then a Clunk

                    So tonight got the car back all fixed from Mike at P&P. All electrics now working again!

                    BUT!... there is always a but

                    I have a creak then clunk noise coming from the rear right hand corner
                    It seems to happen when weight is transferred off this area, not onto it. Is that kind of noise within the normal parameters of coilover noises? Or should I worry my ass off?

                    Cheers,
                    Jed

                      What electrics weren't working ? Something simple ?

                      Not sure on your noise. Can't say heard it with mine.

                        Umm boot latch was shorting the central locking, interior lights, power windows etc.
                        Turned out all my wiring to the boot was ****ed, so I got that all replaced and all is well again in the electrics department

                        So your coilovers make no noises?

                          Wonder why your wiring was in a bad way !

                          Noises, the odd time depending on the angle of attack when going up or down drive ways. A little creak is all. No clunking noises but.
                          You got a rear bace fitted ? Like the old TST bace ?

                            I dunno, the guy before me treated it like absolute S**T so none of it surprises me haha.
                            Yeah, hopefully someone will know what could be causing it. I don't have a rear brace though
