Gaz coilovers are awesome, the threads go all the way down to the hubs you could probably make it touch the floor. Problem is you cant drive it touching the floor all the time lol.

yeah they can get upto that much all depends on the setup i.e larger tank, more movementsi.e lifting wheels off the floor etc etc
Im not sure if they use the coillies to make the bags fit...? Eitherway its the future for UK driving!

I like the car, but the front wheels look weird compared to the rears, i think the fronts need wider dishes?

That exhaust is poking out at a rather jaunty angle - is that on purpose?

The fronts are 'tucked' to give an almost beetle like look I've thought about widening the dishes but still undecided, as for the exhaust it's resemble e 'bastuck' style pipe but the fitter didn't do what I asked so being sorted Saturday morning ;) I'll post piks when it's all sorted!

Just read through this, awesome car, but stick up a proper build thread.

Pics, spec and details please :).

I've been trying to hunt this out since UD when I saw it rolling about.

Im pritty sure most of you wont like it but im smitten lol
Anyway recently i decided that the rs's needed to go, they came on the car when i brought it and never really thought it as "mine" until i took them off lol
First up is my "winters", these are a set of new beetle steels, rears banded from 6.5-8.5, sprayed Ford ivory...

Im in 2 minds wether to sell it yet as ive been missing my vw's but not 100% yet ;)
