It's been a while since I last posted on this, mainly as the vRS has been receiving some treatment, namely S3 front brakes, Milltek downpipe with sport cat and Shark stage 2 software......
Things have been quiet with the Golf but I have now made a few additions. I recently got a set of GTi side skirts, lower spoiler insert from another member, I also got my hands on a complete GTi brake set up also from another member, this was manily so I could have the vRS rear brakes refurbished to match the S3 fronts, but as I had them I thought it would be rude not to upgrade the GT to 312mm fronts. Anyway, the spoiler insert was a 5 minute job and makes the front look a lot better, I haven't got any pictures but I'm sure people know what they look like. With the skirts I really wanted them coded to match the front and rear spoiler and valance, so I attacked them with my random orbit sander to knock back the texture, then gave them a couple of coats of plastic primer, two of the colour and three of clear coat, I then wet sanded with 2000 grit and run two passes with the machine polisher, very happy with the results -

Apologies for the dirty car.... :ashamed:
John GT140:
Any pics of the splitter insert and did you just use the clips and bond the skirts on or use the support rail also? john
vRS_Pagey:
I didn't bother taking pictures of the insert as it's just a bog standard GTi one, the only difference is I colour coded the lower spoiler. I can do though?
I fitted the skirts as per the GTi, apart from the support rails, screws back and front, 4 x adaptors that fit in existing holes in the sills, and double sided foam tape along the top. I did it like this in case swmbo turns around in a week and tells me to take them off because she doesn't like them!! :scared:
So far so good!

Seems I spoke to soon, one of the skirts is trying to escape...... :sick:
Edit: Fingers crossed, all sorted! :popcornsoda:
