You need to talk to my missus to get her on the modding side of the fence...... :happy2:
Having said that, I just do it anyway and when I show her what I've done I get 1 of 3 replys -
It doesn't look any different!
Yep, I like it!
Or I simply get a grunt!!

I see you are also looking into the CH's, top choice! :happy2:
The skirts are looking good, get some more pics up :smiley:

vRS - I am the modding Queen! I love it! Done something to all the cars I have owned I think!! I don't tend to go mental though, just a few moddest ones!
81lly - Yes, CH's are what I really want, but they are quite pricey! I will have Monza's too though! I also got my private plate put on the car:

Were they easy to fit? How much were they in total? Cheers!

Next mod has to be a GTi rear valance, 65 quid from TPS including the tow eye cover. :happy2:
-
Joe - Well easy to fit!! They were about £40 a side, no need for the fitting kit. Just some "no more nails" stuff. Remove the front mud flaps, make sure the whole sill is clean and grease free. Put "no more nails" stuff along the top and bottom of skirt. Line up the skirt (may need one person each end) each end screwed on the inner arch, so start from the front, screw onto arch, then push skirt onto sill and then screw other end. Easy!
vRS - I did order the GTi rear valance, as I need a new valance due to preivous owner reversing into a post! But it would then mean getting a new back box, and that is where it starts getting costly, so I swapped it for a std rear valance. Boring I know, but I have to draw the line somewhere.. and I'd much rather put the money towards some 18" CH's!

Thanks for that!

How about colour coding the rear valance? IMO it makes a massive difference to the look (in a good way obviously :happy2:)

I hear what your saying but I like it black, especially now I have the skirts on, it kinda follows round the car, if that males sense?

Best of both worlds

^^ That is the best combo (what I have on mine) but not possible with a standard GT/TDI valance.
-
its only £40 odd to change to the gti :party:
-
Now I know why your user name is demon!
-
:signLOL: let the roller-coaster condense :driver:
-
£50 for the valance, £70 to colour code, £15 for 2 x 3" trims and £30 for my mechanic to modify the GT back box to fit the trims. :happy2:
