So we had a productive day at the shop today. Got Rays wheel bearing replaced, and cleaned up Dees coilovers and lowered it to him summer height.... but the real progress was made on my rocco, where I finally got my mudflaps installed. - and lowered the car some more...

a while back I found a set of these on ebay UK. got completely screwed on the shipping, and ended up paying 200$ total for these things.

what was also dissapointing was that the fronts didnt have the scirocco text on them, just the rears, and since I was only going to install the front ones, I was pretty bummed. 

I snapped a couple pics of the car before I installed the mudflaps so you can see the difference.

in the end I decided to use the rear ones on the front and nothing on the rears. it took some heavy modification, but I got them to look pretty sweet. 

I also lowered the car aanother 4 turns on the coilovers, and now its rubbing like a mother effer.  - Im afraid I cant handle driving it like this, so Im going to roll em back up a couple turns to see if I can find a happy medium. - anyway, heres pics:

and the best pic:

more pics to follow 

the mud flaps are an absolute must with these wheels. my rear fenders are all chipped up already, and the paints less than a year old. 

I can tell already that they are working, because before I put them on every time I drove the car I would year a constant barage of tickking sounds coming from rocks hitting my paint, and now with them on the ticking has stopped  

I just wish the rain would stop so I could go drive it for real.
