How it started
Colour coded side strips
Then some 15'' 205 GTI Speedlines
Lowered 50mil all round
Fitted a Seat Inca splitter which was such a handling but worth it
Please excuse the wonky splitter I was in such a hurry to fit it and it needs vinyl wrapped as the paint was flaking
How it stands as of now
So far;
New pads & disks
New low mileage rear axel fitted
2 new wishbones fitted
4 new tyres fitted to my 205 gti rims
B pillar vinyls removed (still not fussed)
Lowered 50 mil on 2nd hand shocks and springs
Side strips colour coded
Tow bar removed
Leather steering wheel
To do;
HID kit
GTI wings and front bumper with yellow fogs
Get my phase 2 bumper sprayed and fitted
M3 Smoked rears
Phase 2 headlights masked
Phase 2 boot grab handle
Coilovers up front and roll the rear arches for more low
GTI spoiler or maybe a duckbill one
306 HDI skirts (Just testing)
Bonnet bra (also testing)
Graffiti roof maybe? (just wanna be different)
Badgeless grill sprayed if it doesnt sell
Small boot build with new door speakers and tweeters
Red bubble shift gear knob
Bucket seats
Red leather steering wheel
Headliner and b pillar interior parts blacked out from blue

Looks good mate! Thats about how low I want my car, is it just on springs? Also really like the 205 alloys, I was looking for a set for mine but couldn't find any decent ones

It clears speedbumps easily even the ones at my college are twice the size of normal ones. Its a lot lower in the flesh. Yeah I bought them rims in bad condition cheap and sprayed them with a rattle can. Gonna get them resprayed professionally or get some banded steels made. Yeah I dont know the make at all just know there extremely bouncy but now the car handles so so well

I sent them to a neighbour that charged 50 and done an amazing job. If your taking yours off dont worry about breaking the clips. There cheap to buy at any parts store

Search gumtree thats were I found mine. Because of wider tyres and being low it looks like a go kart when looking at it from the front

Wider tyres make cars look way better definitely..! I was looking for those wheels too, but I couldn't find them for a good price. Then I got the ones I have right now for 180€, which would be around 160£, with new tyres on 'em... First bargain I've ever grabbed in my life actually...
