My TDI Jetta Road to 350 petrol converted horses
V3trox:
It fits quite well. Not perfect as the front bumper is a rep ed30 bumper and i also dont have any skirts to use as a reference but its gone on ok for now and i'm pleased with the overall look so far. Very....race car lol.
So i've finished fitting the other arch. Broke the rivet gun on the last rivnut in the bumper so all progress halted till i can get hold of another one. I would measure up and drill all the holes for the rear but is starting to rain quite hard and losing light. Was hoping to have all arches on today and then cut out the metal part of the arches and see what sort of spacers i will need with my other wheels but oh well :(
The ecu is out of the car at the moment whilst i tinker with it so i cant actually move it and get a better pic but heres what it looks like at the moment.

That was supposed to be tomorrow's job but I'm now behind schedule. The fronts are easy. Pair of tin snips and a touch up pen. The rears consist of inner and outer panels. Cut the outer with a grinder (or something more appropriate if u have it) snip the inner to size then weld together so it's not exactly a walk in the park but it also doesn't take a genius either.
If I don't cut it out the wheels will foul hard on standard arches.
V3trox:
Yup, deffo going to need some bigger spacers. Another 20mm should bring them out a fair bit. Only done one corner so far as it wont stop raining!!!

this is going to be one awesome jetta! I'm interested in putting them arches on mine, do they need trimming for a 5 door?
