Looks really smart all the mods tie in well together

Minor update, been looking for SP arches for months, now ive ended up with 7 brand new ones. 4 have rubbers and clips too so im proper chuffed! Got a good deal from the dealers on those 4 and a friend of the old man had another 3 so snapped those up! Other than that not a lot to report, couple pictures of during and after cleaning for now Any comments welcome as usual!

Cheers mate, they are the driveshaft seals, the passenger one starting leaking a tiny bit so changed them both Smile

IMO since you have your wheels/tyres tucked actually under then arch then I think adding SP arched might ruin the stance, which as it is looks spot on!

I took the arches to work and painted them in the week, so i've fitted them now and they're growing on me each time i look at them Next up is some spacers and that will allow me to lower the front the extra 10mm i wanted. Comments welcome as usual! Quick pic i snapped the other day

looks great as always mate just a heads up on the spacers you will need to move the clip at the very top of the arches as the wheel just catches here got very slight rubbing on mine there and its pulled that clip off on one side so I moved the other one around a bit and its fine now

Thanks for the comment mate, i do see where you're coming from. I spent a long time wondering whether it would look right but i decided just to go for it!

Very nice 180 indeed mate! Does it scrub much sitting that low? My sport scrubs with two in the back and I haven't even lowered it!

Thanks buddy its getting there! Nah no scrubbing at the back, the front did just touch the front arch liner when i fitted the spacers and lowered it more, but raised it up a couple of mm and no scrubbing anywhere now Smile

Oh cool well that's good then! Can't wait to see some more pics.
But why the hell is mine scrubbing then? lol or is that just because its only the standard Sport suspension (GTi setup I think ?) and so not as stiff?
