Hi mate

Did you have to bond the spoiler on with something - what did you use?  :smiley:

Hi!  It has bracket things that sit under the window rubber with mounting holes on, it is then bonded on the edges that come down the boot just for extra security. Can get pics if required, also think I may have two spare?  :undecided:

Righto, the reason i ask is because i am having a replacement tail gate sprayed up for my Vr (mk3) but doesnt have a spoiler. The problem i am trying to avoid is drilling through the glass of the replacement tail gate to attach it which is how they are fitted on mk3's.  :smiley:

If i can get something strong enough i quite fancy sticking rather than drilling.  :smiley:

Yea sticking is fine, use something that matches the colour of the car. Tigerseal works well amongst other things!

No problem.

 I got the wheels fitted yesterday and my tyres put on.  My old ones had to come off at some point for refurbing, but I think once I get some spacers on these they look quite good. Still think I prefer the old ones though!  What do you lot think?







I am still using my phone camera, need a decent one which shows the colour properly!

If i'm honest, I really don't like your old wheels! IMO these ones are a massive improvement :afro:

Prefer the old ones Ben, they remind me of oldskool rally wheels, like something you'd see on quattros  :cool:


I don't think a semi will give the same results

I am really undecided still, I think i may just sell both sets and get some modern lines... that way I wont have this problem. :laugh:
