any decent body shop will do it... ive got the bravus front bumper, might invest in having the number plate recess smoothed out on that

yeah i had to centralise it then use self tapping screws to hold in place. then mark either side of the spliter at the ends so that is finishes flush. Saw these off then screw in as many self tapping screws in as possible. i warn you though it does scrape the curbs and speed bumps.
Sorry for High jacking the thread!

cheers dude! i work in london know so dont have it parked outside the shop anymore. do you still go to any meets smithy?

That'll explain it then. I Go to the odd Chrooked Chimney meet (herts meets), but don't plan to for a while. Santa Pod next year will be the next meet of some kind I imagine, hopefully in something new.

Boi is from North London / Herts area, I think Yorkshire will be a little far :D Pro Tyre did the work on mine (A10), fairly decent bunch in there, not exactly quik fit! Also, think about how easy it'll be to sell the car privately if it's lowered on springs. I wore the tyres out on mine, killed the susp, sold the springs & alloys, put a standard susp back on & put on Cupra 8v alloys and managed to sell it pretty quick. For the money I sold that stuff for, I broke even changing it back. £650 I paid for 1.5yrs of 17"s and lowering, money well spent for the enjoyment & experience, don't regret it ;)
