Ok things have been quiet this last while so heres a few recent updates

Got home today to find these waiting for me, 20mm hubcentric spacers for the rear.

Fitted this sticker last week too

Fitted a rear Aero wiper arm From a 9n Polo, took a bit of trimming for the cap to fit but it now matches the 08 spec aero wipers i have up front.

Decided to fit the spacers today

haha yeah i know ive got loads of things i want to do just need to start saving the pennies :doh: did you use shorter droplinks when you put the coilovers on because ive heard you have to off some people but others have said you don't with the cupras as the 17s clear and the standard droplinks dont rub with them :shrug:

The shorter droplinks are needed to stop the anti roll bar fowling the driveshafts.....correct me if im wrong anyone!

You should get the links with the kit you buy (might have to pay a bit extra but u should be asked if u want them)

think it depends on how much you lower it. i have the Spax RSX kit and i dont have it although that might be the banging noise i am hearing now lol. i need to investigate.

AP Coilivers i believe dont need the Shorter Drop links
