Had this for over 5years now and the missus has been using it as a daily for the last few.

Havnt realy got a project atm so thought I'd have a little play with it.

Had chip and eibach -40mm springs done years ago, had a few set of wheels.

Currently on 18" RCs.

It has just been in to have a few pannels painted to tidy it up, not seen what its like though because Im working in Sweden.

Next thing to do when I get a day or so at home is to fit the stance correction kit if have got together.

It will also be de-caravaned as Ive now got a tow car for that.

Can't decide on rims so have just got some 20mm spacers for the rears and keeping the RCs for now.

My car is very very similar to yours! haha.

Nice motor! I approve!

Mike.

 Yer they are, mine is prePD GTTDI though.

You running any spacers on your anni wheels?

Looking good mate.

not running any spacers at the moment.

Just bought some 5mm spacers for the fronts and 15mm for the rears, i think 15mm is about right for me, i measured it up and wanted a bit of clearance to be on the safe side haha will get round to fitting them at the weekend i think!

thats what i decided, didn't want a stretch when i have 4 of my mates in the car pretty regularly so just stuck with 15. Im hoping i will get away with that!

 Fitted the rear spacers yesterday, looks much better.

Also had a bit of a wrestle on the drive fitting a new exhaust.

It soon gave up when the grinder came out.

Also noticed that it needs new rear axle bushes.  So will get these before fitting coillies. Anyone done these before? are the easy to get in/ out?

Get some pics up of it with the spacers on mate.

 I'll get some in a bit should have done a few before and after shots,but if you have the same wheels you will tell the difference.

 Some cack pics of wheels with rear spacers, the car is blocked in and it started to rain as soon as I got the camera out.

Realy need to fit my coillies and get some more lows!

 Looking fab mate

 Cheers, havnt had a daily as a project for years, bit frustrating having parts sitting there but can't just start pulling the car to bits untill I know I can finish

you got the 20mms on the rear? I'm running 15s on my anni wheels. 

Looks pretty good, but i think a 20mm might make it sit a bit more perfectly.

got 5mms at the front.

 Yer 20mm on the rear, nothing on the front yet. Got a load of 5mms somewhere just cant remember what I have done with them.

 Started fitting coilies tonight, only got as far as removing the old rear axle bushes.

What a pain in the ass that was.

Got a full day at it tommorow so fingers crossed will get pics up with new lows.

 Got half a job done, had to remove rear axle and get bushes pressed in in the end.  Then it started lashing down with rain.

With the rear coilies fitted up and wheels on, a trip to the midwife followed by a 6hr hospital trip meant some severe RR.

Lucky I have other cars to drive so its staying where it is untill its finished now.

Few pics,

axle bushes finaly butchered out

Gazebo rain shelter

 Finaly getting there, Its now rolling again.

fronts all fitted up, found that the front pads were coming away from the backing so replaced the discs ad pads at the same time.

VRS ARB and TT droplinks

Needed spacers on the front to clear coilovers, went for cheap 6mms for now until I find sum hubcentric 10mms

Few finishedish pics

Think it needs to settle properly but I think that the nearside rear is a touch higher

Looks good mate!

I've got 15s on my rears, any rubbing with the 20's? I didn't want to push it!

Mike

 rear could do with been abit lower but looks good,

what about a rear aero wiper + stubby aerial i am selling them PM me if interested !

Looks cracking now the coilies are on

As said - rear looks a tad high in the last picture. Have they got more room for adjustment?

 Have got about 30-40mm left in the rear,I was airing on the side of caution cos I was trying to aviod reverse rake!

 The near side seems to be higher for some reason.

Going to level it with a tape measure.

not had any rubbing yet, dont want to go much lower as my missus uses it daily.

 Small update, got a new areial today.  The old one was knackered

old

New

Got this to replace wiper too

Tow bar is also coming off, cant decide if I want to remove the badges or not?

Def remove the badges - love the clean simple sleeper look! Stance looks good too. How much were the coilies?
