I'm happy to wait a year or two and get a VTS/GTI then.  It's quite nippy for a 1.4 anyway, obviously nothing in comparison to 16V's but still fun.

Update, put my VTS wheels on this morning, making the most of the improved weather!
Using 25mm spacers on the rear and 15mm on the front.
Just needs to go lower now!
Once lows have been achieved. Plans are just general tidy up, spraying mirrors, wiper arms and bumpstrips gloss black.
Anyway, heres some pictures!
Love this picture!

Yellow?! Going to be pretty bright! I'm going to be painting my calipers and drums yellow in a couple months.
I've got the custom springs with my coillies, so I'm going 75 or 80mm at the back, and 80 or 85mm at the front 
You could have yellow wheels and yellow fogs. That would look pretty cool

Yes yellow lol! Gotta be as lairy as the mango hasnt it 
Thats gonna be nice and low mate! I want mine to be a sensible low if that makes sense ha, i still want to be able to have a spirited drive without worrying about sump smashing or tearing some trim off!
And i wouldn't wanna copy your fogs! I was thinking a yellow roof, but i did a photoshop and it looked a bit gash tbh

Yes a yellow roof might be too much! I wouldnt considering it you copying my fogs, hundreds of people have yellow fogs
I reckon you could still have a spirited drive down about 60 or even 70mm.

Yeh similar to how low I want to go. I dont have to deal with any big speed bumps daily, so shouldnt be a problem

Yeah dan yours is well too low for me ha. I wanna still be able to use my lower strut brace.. but i can imagine its not really useable any lower than 50mm. So may have to sell it. Oh well

Posi blue is one of those colours that looks so dull when not polished - on yours, and in the sun, you can really see the flake "pop". Are the alloys a matt grey?
