Nice, I think debadged just looks so clean. Got some more pictures of your car? I'd like to go with coilovers if I do upgrade the shocks.

IMO, coilovers and wheels usually have to go together=$$. One before the other looks awkward.

So I just went and took the cluster out again and couldn't see anything wrong with the connections, but the odometer still isn't lighting up. Has anyone had this problem or know where to start looking next?

Busted bulb? Me and you are the only two Europa's on this forum that I know of. Aledelic doesn't count since he doesn't daily his anymore .

Coils before wheels if anything. A lowered car on stock wheels looks great, a non lowered car with wheels looks... silly.

Europa? I thought my blue was the LZ5K Santorin Blue Pearl Effect.

And thats true...but you could go wheels+lowering springs/sport shocks on a budget. Which is probably the route I'll end up taking. We'll see in time.

Hmmm. It's hard to tell with your pictures.

Lowering springs to me seem like a waste of money unless you enjoy having no control over ride height and wheel gap!
