Brave cutting/pulling the arches to actually use them properly...

Post by: Hurdy on September 17, 2009, 07:57:01 pm: Only thing you have to remember is that this kit is to match the standard GTI rear end. If you have an ED30 the lower front splitter/rear bumper is a different shape :happy2:

Post by: NB07 on September 17, 2009, 08:43:44 pm: front splitter looks different also. i like em but not sure they would work on a black car :sad1:

Q: Will these flares automatically allow me to use wider wheels and tires?
A: No, these flares cover your existing arches, so if they are not currently modified for extra clearance you will not be able to run wider wheels and tires without issues.
