If yours is a saloon also, then it's relatively easy (and reversible) with some vinyl... :thumbs:

Not really. I did mine myself, but could do with doing some again now. Easier with 2 people and indoors!
previous- Pug 205 gti, 306 gti, 309 gti Goodwood.
Audi S3, S4 V8 avant.
Porsche Macan Turbo.
Gone but NEVER forgotten - C5 RS6 Misano red avant.

Now - Empty garage

If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there!

I like the idea of plastidip applied correctly as it looks like if I wanted to remove it, it easily peels off leaving no marks

Only a quick clean today (during the drizzle), but still think the old girl is a bit of a looker :kissmyrings:

Looking good Nick.

Is your car on DRC and at original ride height?

Having a look at that side on shot makes me think I may be running my car a little low since i put the new coilovers on. :?

Thanks Dunc.
Yeah, still on DRC with standard springs. Can't be many left on DRC now!
Had 2 new shocks fitted a few months back, and the whole system re-pressurised and balanced out.
Aesthetically, it's higher at the back then I'd like, but I'm of the opinion that a bit of rake helps with handling anyhow (that's what I tell myself, at least! Image)
