like this, pretty tidy and clean careful on the lows, think if you go to low things start popping out

 

[GotGrande]

Nice looking motor always liked the grande in black, not keen on the front angel eye headlamps but thats just me so meh.. nice wheels to. keep it up

 

[Booth]

Needs a number plate.

 

[MISC1691]

Needs a number plate.

or you gon get FINEDDD!

 

[TJEToates]

Things do start popping!.. I have the same coilies and taken my Helpers out . can't take the bump stops out though? What do u mean?..
And I got fined £60 for number plate in my window instead, no points through so all good

 

[eimaj]

Very nice Like the wheels
Is it really lowered 100mm though? still a big arch gap
Oh and put the numberplate back

 

[KrisPrince]

I personally like the Angel Lights, did you just buy the lights and then just plug & play? i bought a set of Angel Lights but they didnt work on my GP, the main beam holder in mine was broke and couldnt be fixed, and i bought them brand new! (supposidly)

 

[TheGrandeShima]

Nice and tidy motor, keep up the good work
Is that Really a 100mm drop tho ?, I have less arch gap and I've only gone 40mm.....

 

[Lal B3N]

Approx 50mm more like.

Wheels suit it well.

 

[jackstearn90]

i got my angels off ebay for bout £140 i think, but they were a rite pain in the ass tbh, alot off pissing around and cuttin wires, took about 3 hour but worth it in the end.

 

[jackstearn90]

and im just guessin bout the 100mm, it said that on the box, and the coilovers are wound all the way down at the front, unless thats with the helper springs out???

 

[TJEToates]

U sure they are wound all the way mate?. Just I have the same coilies and when I wound mine down all the way with the Helpers in, the arch gap was gone, now with the Helpers out, got some tuckage

il ave to ave a look at that then lol and i was speakin to my mate whos a mechanic and he said the coilies arent spose to have the helpers out and said it will bottom out? does yours??

On the box they will probably say TUV tested or something.

Basically with helpers out they are no longer TUV approved. Plenty of people do it though.

Plus on the lowering, weight of the car will make a difference. Im guessing a 1.2 will weigh a bit less than a 1.4 tjet or 1.9 mjet.

 

[jackstearn90]

hey im buyin a cupra spliter off mi mate for a tenner, and wanted to know if ther easy enuff to fit??

 

[AgnessGP]

iv heard they are pal. i dont know how you do it but people have done it so not like its impossible

 

[johnlad27]

I think there is a guide to fitting it, but if you search for cupra splitter then loads of people will have commented on them, involving how to fit them etc.

 

[jackstearn90]

i fitted it today, took about half an hour ,piece of **** really, wouldve taken longer if i cared about getting it dead perfect lol

 

[luke grande]

is this really lowered 100mm?
