[t.oldaker]

I have said to them as a solution they either pay for me to get them taken off and refitted without the helpers or they face a £220 full refund from ebay instead either way im going to keep them. And yeh its already cost me to have them put on and time and effort

good on you mate

Right i have news people....... drum roll

After a lengthy dispute and 20+ emails and pictures, videos etc... I can now confirm i have been compensated for the miss advertising of the coilovers and settled on a refund of £60 and keeping them to 'modify' as they put it so they go lower. And on top of that they have now changed the advert to what I recomended so people don't get miss lead into thinking these will lower the car what they stated.

Next stage for me is to ditch the helpers and cut the bumpstops so atleast it tucks tyre and then space the wheels out to fake fill the arches but all in all persistance paid off and while it wasnt a huge amount refunded atleast that money can go towards other mods.

 

[reece1591]

Yeah although not much refunded still something back and you don't mind modifying them when not paid to much for them after the refund

Cant believe the drop you didn't get! My V-Maxx ones are lower and still had thread to go on them. Insane false advertisement! Glad you got the compensation.

Take it for ford puma drop links worked alright?

Yeh i know Char, i was gutted but ahh well now ive posted about them loads more people have had the same problem with the front not going low enough so the company saying they had no issues is because people just accepted it. and nope didnt get ford puma ones as the company i ordered from threw in the ta's own brand ones so i knew they would fit perfectly

Slight update but I think its quite exciting but i've entered into the final stage of becoming a rep for SFS Performance Silicone Hoses. So if i manage to get this position it will mean discounts on silicone hoses etc... for all your motors along with some other perks

Not sure if im allowed to plug this if not admin message me and I will change it. But i could use all your help to get me this position.

Basicly as its going to be marketing during car shows and meets and alot of online work they are seeing how well you can advertise yourself across fb and forums. So basicly what they have asked is:

I need you to:
- like the SFS Performance page http://www.facebook.com/SFSHoses

- then click on the link http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...33687383062.457095.79927063061&type=1&theater and comment voting with just my name Thomas Oldaker on the south central picture.

Please guys means alot and will mean discounts on SFS products for you and help me out etc... Ends on the 10th so only 5 days to go

 

[reece1591]

voted mate.....could do with some silicone if did get it need to make a custom induction system

 

[t.oldaker]

Thanks to everyone who has helped me out. Got 3 days to go and fingers crossed but its looking good.

Small update had some 15mm wheel spacers turn up today and also looking to rent a bay at PitStart on friday to get the helpers out these coilovers. Dropped the back down in the pitch black last night so its tucking tyre and poked on 20mm spacers. Bit of rubbing, so need the fronts to do the same

 

[rutgerfr]

mk5 look way better lowered, great rims too mate!

 

[reece1591]

Need pics of this can't wait ......

 

[t.oldaker]

Right got an update now which some of you will be happy about. Helper springs have been taken off and lowered and still have 20mm to drop further. And...... the stickerbomb has been removed!

Bad weather started to peel them and i gave up so removed it. Loved it while it lastest but ahh well move onto new things. Here are some pictures from a photoshoot for Performance SEAT which it will be featured in when its published on the 20th feb. http://www.facebook.com/performanceseat?ref=ts&fref=ts
