Recently bought a GTI in silver. I am going to look into putting a rear roof spoiler on, probably the original one with the cutout in. Cant seem to find an original one anywhere online? Or am i better going to a bodyshop or a dealer? I would take it to the bodyshop to get spayed and fitted. Which leads me to the black bits along the bottom of the front and back bumpers has anyone got these sprayed in silver and got any pics?

genuine spoilers are really hard to find and really expensive, your best bet is the dealers ~ £200 or a breakers yard or ebay, what ever you decide to do, don't buy a copy one

Really !? Did they stick it on with cement or something?

must have, it's probably just the length of time it's been stuck on too.

Lighter fluid will shift it.......just don't smoke or anything whilst your doing it, or your golf might make a "Woof" sound.

Got to do it when its warmer out, or spend time getting it warm. They can be a proper ball ache when cold, just wait for the warmer weather and it'll be out in seconds.

I lived in Gillingham for the first 21 years, then moved to Hempstead. Brief stay at a mates in Rainham, back up to Hempstead then to Derby!
Where do you go out now? It was sh!te when I was there. Massive expense in a cab to Maidstone, out in London after work, or to the Cricketers in Rainham was about it!

It's really not all that (well, wasn't). It's just a pub, but was the cheapest as I had a made with a spare room who lived staggering distance :grin:
Not really ventured to Snodland much, it was on 'Homes under the Hammer' a little while ago when some nobber brought a pub there and wanted to turn it to flats! They kept pronouncing Snodland funny!

geuine expect to pay approx £600
to the OP - spraying can vary from £50 to a couple of hundred quid - get a couple of quotes but also ask to see there work - sometimes its worth paying the extra for a top job

Sorry Rhyso - I think it's me keeps sending things off topic :lipsrsealed:

From what I've read on here, only get a genuine spoiler. Keep your eyes peeled on the forum sale sections, or take the bullet and buy the part from a dealer.
For the spraying and fitting, in my experience decent bodyshop will charge £120 ish for spraying and fitting the spoiler, and around £80 each for the front and rear ends.

Thanks for the advice il have an ask around and get some prices. :smiley:

yes and no, the TDI 150 and the V6 share the valance and some of the undertray parts, however the TDI 150 has them modified to accommodate some of the pipe work, eg the side bits come filled, and they have to be cut out (passenger side) to feed the air intake.
regarding the price, they are dirt cheap £27 IIRC and dead easy to fit.
there are quite a few of us from mid kent, i've only lived here for about 7 years.
