I'm surprised you can even fit in the door.

Are you refering to me or Steve Jobs?

Yeah they are. Dubmiester are the ones to go for but require copies of V5's and stuff and blah couldn't be bothered. There was a group buy on the golf site but still was looking at £29 a set!

Did you get the surrounds for the front as well? I've only got the rear and not sure if i should get the front as well..

My drive is really steep D:

Black or Gunmetal grey.

Don't really want to go much lower, definately not on the standard shocks and if it sits like that with 17" wheels on with the Eibach dampers then i'll be alright with that.

Thanks Doesn't look OTT but looks just about right.

BBS alloys are WAY out of my range but something like this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/19-VW-GO ... T&hash=item5d2efe835d with some 20mm spacers would be delish. i can dream.

I got the 17 alloys off an Audi A3, ones should be picking them up at the weekend. Will be a month or so before i can use them as need to get them refurbed and new tyres etc but hey

Your bimmer was higher than a dune buggy! Get it done, if shocks are fine go for some eibach springs, very good stuff. if shocks are a bit old consider going coilovers but try to avoid budget ones if possible, they're alright but will break after a year and not be quite a comfy.

Agree with what you mean about that Senn. Issue is with those tyres they're 65 profile so not very grippy as they roll onto the tyre sidewall. the new wheels take 225/45/17 rubber which should improve response and stuff. but at the same time i really like how it looks with those current wheels..if only I could put 45 profile tyres on those 15 inch rims without it looking stupid...

It's lowered and you polished everything including the tyres!

We have a winner.

Eibach sportline kit. about a 50mm drop at the front, 30-35mm at the rear. Handles alot nicer, haven't been out of town as only got them fitted yesterday however much less body roll, ride is firm but comfy.

saving for the Eibach damper kit to match the springs. eheheh.

You all mock but that was pretty cool.

I'm gonna try that brb

on an on topic sense;

look again fatty.

It's too late to remove the picture of your girlfriend. I have already come. (and gone)

before;



after

Won these on Ebay today.

£102



Set of 17" Audi A3 wheels. Off a 2003 one, so one of the first of the new shapes, 5x112 stud pattern so will fit my Golf (even though A3 and Golf are the same car mechanically but ssh).

Generally "ok" condition, comes with tyres (1 wanli(LOL), 1 dunlop(half worn), 1 continental (fairly new)and 1 michelin(brand new))...plan to ditch the wanli for a matching michelin up front and then mix'n'match the dunlop and conti at the rear. not perfect but it'll do.

Will be getting them refurbished in a Gloss black, hopefully with some metallic sparkles.

The UK has one of the cheapest phone markets in the world. I pay £35pm for an iPhone 4 (which was £40 upfront) with 1200 mins / unlimited texts / 750MB data for 18 months.

I'm guessing a similar plan in the US would be ~$70+ and even then it would have lower limits.

What carrier are you with brother?

p.s thanks for all of the insights so far has been interesting reading looking forward to more debate!

I just like having an IM client rather than text. It's easier to keep in contact using IM than texts, less awkward.

So my contract is coming up at the end of this month (or next one can't ever remember) and looking into getting a new phone.

I use BBM alot, or rather would prefer to not lose contact with the few friends who have BBM, so looking to stick with Blackberry but I'm still a little privvy to the iGay4. I also checked out a HTC Sensation today but battery life is reportedly very poor so not too interested.

I've been mainly looking at the Torch 9800 or a Bold 9780. These seem to be Blackberry's "latest" offerings and while there's no major super duper features, I'm familiar with the general OS (I have a Curve 8900 at the moment) and happy with the way it allows me to use MSN and AIM where I go, along with emails and what not in a way that I actually like unlike the crappier messaging interface on the iPhone. Also I am struggling to find any difference at all between the Bold 9780 and the Torch 9800 aside from Touch screen on the Torch...is that it? While the CPU's are the same are there any differences in performance in the real wordl?

So basically...anyone with the Blackberry Torch or Bold 9780 who can share stories, good or bad?

Equally as interested in anyone's opinion who has HAD a blackberry and now has an iGay4 or a HTC or something.

thanks

So what tricks do you recommend with her?

OT: What's so wrong with Macs? For the extra money you get a pretty good piece of hardware plus the ability to run MacOS X. I'm not saying they're worth the money, but they're certainly not shit...

Nothing really aside from the fact most Mac owners think they're being individual. But they're not. And they're a complete rip off.

But I'm just countering most Apple's fan loyalty by doing exactly what they do; spout random crap with no sort of justification.

phwoar.

Why did the random link I test that with say "Smoke a dildo".
