With the 20mm spacers the tyres hit the arches so couldn't go all the way down

then decided to have a play with some spacers, 15mm get me a little lower and less tyre arch contact

Looks good this mate. Can I ask where have you run your air lines for the 4 corners?

So I have decided to change up the golf a little over the next few months. Having come to terms with the fact I doubt I will do track days in it I want to use it more and make it a little more comfortable. So I am going for a subtle amp/sub install, false floor and air ride. Then tidy some bits of paint up and drive it.
Made a start on the sub install.
 
Started with a frame.
 
20160911_164018 by Dominic Joy, on Flickr
 
Made a sub box

Plan is to lay the false floor over the top and carpet it with as close to OEM as possible. Looking to have a hinged section in the middle maybe with some other trick bits.
Then air ride will sit on rear seat base. May find another set of rear carpets as mine went in the skip.

Cheers. I'll try to find his thread

Made an undertray to protect the piping I used for MAF relocation. Quite pleased with it for a first attempt and should do the job untill I get something made from metal sheet

Added a Speedhunters banner, not to everyone's tastes. It's kinda straight and central.

Looks awesome on air, every time I see a mk3 on air I want it but I should probably just buy some decent coilovers and save a few £ as I'd want an airlift kit

Finally had some time recently to get a start on fitting the air ride onto the car, I managed to get a hardly used Airlift V2 digital set up with twin compressors at reasonable price,
Started with swapping the shocks over,
I made an executive decision to run all of the airline's out to the shocks under the rear seat, not sure if that's the best idea but I suppose I'll soon find out if it's not! Then got it all plumbed in to make sure it all works;
It did!
That was it for last weekend, got the tank painted in the week;
Decided to hide as much of it as possible in the spare wheel well.
At the same time I got a new Rockford Fosgate 8" sub and compact amp to go in there as well. Old vs new;Then with the help of Bealieboy started measuring up and mounting bits ready for a false floor to cover everything apart from the top of the tank. Hopefully another weekend's worth of work and I'll be able to drive her again!

Dunno what happened in the above post. 
Wheels are now on and I really like them. I know they need some tyre black haha
