A few mods to the GTI
« on: 31 July 2022, 20:42 »
Hi guys, I purchased a GTI performance about 2 months ago and am enjoying owning the car. I’ve recently carried out a few mods cosmetically. I’ve added the intake manifold cover, sill protectors,TCR side skirts and rear diffuser. Next on the list is a front splitter but not sure wether to get the TCR one or something else. Hers a few pics

Hi JB73

Very nice looking car, I particularly like the diffuser- looks great on a white 3 door car.

I hope you’re not planning on changing the wheels. They look great too

Can you post a link for the sill protectors please? I’ve been thinking of getting some and they look good.

Hi mate, I’ll be honest and say that the rear diffuser is not a genuine one. I bought one of these from eBay to try as the price was good and when it arrived the fit and finish is very good and difficult to tell from an original VW one. I may change it in the future for a genuine one but I’ll see how this one lasts.

Evening guys, decided to fit the Golf R performance pack rear spoiler lip and then take her out for a drive and a few pics.

Now looking at changing the door mirror cover, can’t decide between gloss black, satin black or carbon fibre. Any thoughts?

I've had all three and gloss back is my favourite. I have satin black on my TCR which looks good with the satin wheels but as you seem to have gloss black accesories, that's why I'd say go with those.
