Not a huge update, got my wheels aligned today which were fine and also got it dropped a bit more. Not all the way down, think thats too much for me and theres far too many pot holes near me. So it dropped about another half inch-inch.

Fairly big difference actually, looks better at the back. So pretty happy.

So went up to GTI International on Sunday, was a good day. Though I only stayed till after midday. Was good to see the usual gang again and meet new ones.

Have stolen some peoples photos as I didn't take any at all! Always charge your phone the night before haha.

First off, comparison of height from last year GTI and this years...

Last year (obviously, blue sky!)

Quick pic of before the lowering, it looks like it's on stilts!

Just not sure what to do next, could say exhaust but don't know where to start with them. Clueless!

Just look for the exhaust you want, save up, purchase and get it fitted then you're done! :p I'm kiddiiiiiiing! Many people go for powerflow, but if you got the mohonies then milltek it up!

Char, you know how low your car is, does it ever scrape if theres passengers in the back? And if it doesn't, how many mm have you had it lowered by?
Thanks

Mine is lowered around 80mm and mine only doesn't scrape that often, even with people in the back

No I don't, I checked mine against blackmagicibiza's at gti and mine seemed lower at the back :p As for passengers...i haven't had any in the back since. I don't like having people in the back as they find it such a struggle to get out.

Hasn't scraped on anything yet. I don't know about mm's unfortunately but its gone from at least a fist gap to getting just about two fingers when slightly angled in the gap.

I think that SCN needs to change their colours.
Regular meets look to have White & Blue car mainly ...

... Looking very nice Char with the car lowered!!
