Just went for the V-maxx kit, but think I might change the problematic rear shocks for KWs.

I was under the impression that the dodgy shocks were from the early production days and since been rectified. Or are people still having bushes failing?.....

Small update, nipped over to Seat last week and got myself a cupra R splitter..
Undecided wether i like it or not so it's only temporily fixed with a few self tapers.
Your thoughts?
Oh and i found another pic of the wheels at a different angle

so thought i'd throw it up also, sure we all love pics

I think the splitter will look better when the van is lower...

Cheers, difference is night and day but if I was to start over again I would probably lower it first and then wheels. But ooh well what's done is done and I'm pretty pleased with it so far.

My bad

Have decided to keep the splitter it's grew on me, the front bumper I got had a few scratches but no cracks on anything major so as long as yours is sturdy enough it should turn out great once painted.
