yes! If you going to do the skirts and then lower, i suggest lower it first and then do the skirts.. you might like the look of it lowered.

OR if you not going to lower it, do the skirts

I don't think i'm going to lower it, 2 reasons..

1. I scraped my bumper twice today, the thing is lower than it looks.. lol.. (or i can't drive a polo GTI)
2. Warranty issues, I know people who know people etc etc. i just don't want trouble..

So i guess i'm gonna do the side skirts...

If you got the front spoiler you have to go side skirts, will make it look more complete.

Hey bud, no offence, but the PGTI's look much better with their standard kit, this just looks like a rice'd up polo.

Doesn't look too bad and not rice at all, with a larger wheel it would probably look good.

Why did you go for the PGTi then? The styling on a VW is always more conservative and not so in-your-face as other car brands.

You have to work WITH this type of styling, not AGAINST it. Just my opinion though...

Yeah, you build your cars only for yourself!
I do like the fact that you took your time to find a kit that goes with the lines of the car. But in my opinion, you should've dropped and rimmed the car to set it apart from the rest.

I'm off to search your build tread on the golf...
