After this a few things changed, I found a original vw grill, painetd the badge, found an old set of wheels and refurbished them.

Clever use of those playing cards!
I'm trying to work out still what the spacer blocks are for in your suspension springs. Are they to limit travel?

Yes. Since i dont have coilovers, the back is lower than the front which looks bad, so I fitted those rubber blocks to the back to try and lift it a bit.

Oh right, does it work (from a suspension/ride point of view?)

Well I havnt felt any difference to the standard suspension, no funny things. So… short answer YES. I'ts not ideal, but it still works fine. If you know what I mean.
I wont do this on a Golf R but for this it works.

Great thread, keep the pictures coming
My New Year's resolutions are: 1. Stop making lists. B. Be more consistent. 7. Learn to count.
