Alex's Mk5.2

Congrats on getting the wheels on, Alex.
You did well with these new wheels. Great combo with your car and especially coming together with the lowered height.

How many setting do you have for damper adjustment on your coils and what do you have them set on Maca.

Cars looking good by the way mate, cant wait to see it.

i second lower the front some more.
fitments looks good up back.
Like the front as well. black headlights and grille, yellow fogs. Looks very OEM to your average person, but looks special to us.
Wish we didn't have to have number plates up front...

Thanks! I'm really keen for the Sydney trip. I'm just hoping I don't have to put new tires on before then... They're adjustable out of 30, the front is set to 20 and the rear is 15. I'm thinking of dropping the rear to 12 and the front to 15.

It's so OEM+, the cops don't know what it is. Last night some mates and I got pulled up in an outback town (two police cars intercepted us as we were driving through) and they didn't even look at my car. Mind you, they had a selection which ranged from a Toyota Sprinter to a Nissan Skyline V35.

Front defs needs more low, but there's a bold right behind the wheel I'm worried about. I need to find a skid plate that I can install over the whole front section and she'll be dumped as.

Ps. I stalked your FB through Water Boy's, your car is looking amazing!

i remember looking at those formations on tims car! What a pain, sure they can be fixed easy.
If you put a skid plate on you might lose a fair bit of ground clearance, thats on the mk4s anyways.
Haha cheers! Im guessing thats you that commented?

Yeah man, I just accepted your request. I reckon I'd lose about 2mm of clearance, but at least I'd just slide over everything haha.

EDIT: I just found a bolt on skid plate on ECS but it's $419 Might have to throw that onto the next order.

It's looking good!

Looking a lot less Hush Puppy than standard.

Needs more lows at the front.

Agreed, but first I'll be removing a few guards from behind the axle and hopefully replacing it with a slimline skid plate.

Cherrrrrrry reds!

[Water Boy]

Does this car get you layed?

Good work mate!

[MJT]

Sensational! Love the cherry reds. Whats left now?

Black mirror caps and smoked turn signals, I think that'll be the finishing touch.

Other than that; trade it in for a 4WD

Nice, probably easier than doing a custom tint job!

Do they eliminate the fog light also?

I did because these lights are for the LHD model, so I'd be blinding everyone with the fog everytime I through it in reverse I now just have a painted red bulb in the right housing during the stormy months.

Needs a quad exhaust.

Needs a quad exhaust.

I somewhat agree.
