How Low Can I GO?

[OllieL]

Dont know if i'd be that lucky,so might end up with springs. Also I dont have a clue what the hell to do to fit whatever it is I end up getting. I do however think that my car looks fat like that.
I've sitting here for the last hour planning on how I can somehow turn the bootlid plastic into a high level break light and where the hell all the money is coming from for the rest of my imaginary mods (cupra roof spoiler, skirts and fogs) and how the hell I will even get hold of them

ur a student, use ur loan

 

[OllieL]

If only it was that easy. This is my second degree so means I dont actually get one-it sucks!!
Ah well exam time

 

[surcalation]

you don't get a loan when you do your 2nd degree? Why not?

I'm confused. Second degree??? As in that you went to Uni for 3/4 years and got your degree. And now you are doing it all over again to get another one??

Ollie, i went to the scrappers to see if they had that spare rear trim on the GTi and someones had the boot, so it doesnt look like i can get that for you from there

Yeah that is correct, three years in Loughborough and now three years in Birmingham - stupid arent I. Ah rite. Well in that case what entails taking it off? And can i still drive the car when its taken off or will it effect the number plate lights etc. Just need to be mobile to get to work and the gf's around christmas and new year, so car being out of action would be a problem.
Looked today and mine has not a mark on it - will get pictures asap. Am def interested though dude - got my eye on a 8v colour coded spoler as well now complete the redness of my back end.
Actually anyone know how hard or infact how that would fit my back window?

it wouldnt mate, it bolts thru the glass........ if you can chop the bolts off you can glue it on, but the bolts are attatched to the spoiler and thus drop thru holes in the window, which yours wont have...... you could change the glass but thatll cost you abit

MAD, 2 degrees. I'll be happy if I'll manage just the one and than its time to star earning some real money

As for the spoiler. Both the 8v and 16v ones will fit. I managed to source a 16v one for my old 1.4 (good ol Ebay). All you have to do is:
1) hacksaw away the 3 bolts
2) spray the spoiler whatever colour you want it (hopefully the same colour as the car's)
3) Pop down to Robert Dyas or B&Q and get a tube of (looks like the tube you use in a trigger gun) see through adhesive sealant
4) apply the adhesive sealant to the spoiler and boot lip
5) Keep the boot half open (a string from the boot lock to the boot catch), so that the boot lid is horizontal
6) stick the spoiler on and put couple of strips of masking tape on the edges to hold it in place over night
7) try and not drive the car for the next 20hours
8) take off the masking tape and admire your new spoiler (I promise you it WON'T come off, mine held on like a dream)

Enjoy
