GTI splitter times

Finally got this, was a bit more of a pain to fit than i thought but came out ok! ill let the pics do the talking

before..

Splitter off...

New one on (plus a few extra pics of the car as I had the camera out!!)

Also invest 99p in a new sticker for my key, and then whipped out the macro lens for the camera!

So thats about it for the time being, Finally got my mate at VW to turn of the Engine wwarning light (after I fixed the EGR valve it needed resetting) so now time to focus on wheelswheelswheels!!

btw if anyone wants to buy my old splitter they can?? its mint condition

got a lot of love for this mate!!

got a lot of love for this mate!!

Thanks mate!

cheers for your kind words dude, lovin your yellow fogs!

i really like the ras, take a while to clean but well worth it.

i got my protectors off of ebay a while back and they were £7 but I'm not sure you can get them there now!

you should get ras and then do white/cream/beige sort of colour with polished lip! that would be sick!

BUMP,

Any fresh ideas?? still saving for wheels, paying for a house sucks:(

wheres the fog light tint from dude? car looks awesome by the way :)

Cars looking fresh mate, it seems that me and you are literally at the same stage each time I check your thread out haha!

What would look sick is if you sprayed the front splitter the same colour as your car like got it done professionally

Looking good man. Its the simple things that make these 100000x better.

cheers buddy! its from lamin-x.co.uk you buy it in sizes so measure up what size you light is and get over there!

also I your doing it id use a hairdryer it really helps mould the film.

thanks mate, your totally right, I cant see the point in spending a bucket loads on little cars like these when with a couple of key items you can transform them so cheap!

Black vinyl wrap the b-pillars :)

check mine: http://tinyurl.com/crpaqxc

and how about wind deflectors around the front windows?

also, where did you get the wheel nuts and how much ?

and the same with mud flaps; where and how much? (i saw your pics from earlier)

i wanna try and get my polo up to your standards

Is there a name for them wheels that you have on? Just that I'm after some for a mate?

The wrap looks pretty cool mate!

yeh was going to get some heko's at some point just havn't got round to it yet!!

If you mean the wheel nut covers then just off ebay mate!!

the mud flaps were already on the car when I bought it but again your best bet would be ebay, If not then go to VW I doubt they will be that expensive!!

Finally thanks for the kind words!!

They are just bog standard polo 16v wheels, they also did them on the Lupo 16v, Have a look on the classifieds on here (or wheel whores, edition38 etc etc) they will be easy to find and cheap!!!

UPDATE TIMES

Been far too long since an update, apoligies its not a desperatly excitied one....

- Got a new front indicator because the old one was letting in moisture and steaming up.

- Bought some Schmidts, the tyres were too big so bought brand new tyres, fitted on the car nice, then straight away decided I didnt want them (and I couldnt realllllly afford them), they are now for sale on this very forum!!

- Having a bit of a problem with it using alot of coolant, again there is a thread on here about it but answers on a postcard would be appreciated!

Due a good service after christmas, will probally get the cam belt done for piece of mind as the only 'proof' of it ever having been done is a sticker on the cover (no documents). Brakes will need doing too.

Other than that just been trying to survive the winter/potholes/grit/wet and Ignorant people who open their car doors onto your car in carparks!!

Heres a few pics of the schmidts anyway. if anyone wants them the 07756307369 and I can give you the details.... I'm doing them cheap!!

Decided to just keep her on the 16v wheels for now, I've suddenly become very fond of them and they are good solid all year wheels!!

yeh they can be a bit of a fiddle. there is one screw either side (torx bit) and they its clipped on underneath. work your way along prising them off without snapping any plastic! good luck!

Havn't been on Clubpolo for along time now, so heres a little update....

Car has had some love and attention in 2012 - pics to follow

- Cambelt and water pump service.

- new front indicators

- black badge for the front grill.

i recently got schmidts :

they sit well but i had to get some arch work done for my back end to go lower the picture above is before the arch work.

cars looking well and i am sure you will give in and replace the 16v alloys soon enough

They look good man, They sit alot nicer than they did on my car!! might be differenet size tyres? yeh i really wanted ats classics but its finding the funds!

Photo blitz from the last few months. just been keeping the car clean and servicable. Got a black badge and a new front indicator in the post.

Last week I ran into my old 6n2 in town as well....

Today I fixed a few little niggles, then cleaned and re-greased my Weitecs. I also wound them down a bit more, seeing how low I can go whilst retaining height that is suitable for everyday.

Street workshop

Great progress, tell me what size are the wheel nut covers you got?
