ahh those were the ones i was going to buy but too much maintenace crap at the mo :( the valances clip on the bottom of the bumper so if you remove the front and rear bumper you should be able to unclip the exisiting black bit of the bumper and attach the valances,

if you dont know how to remove the bumper go to vw vortex loads of stuff on there

no need to remove the bumpers - just undo the lower torx screws in each wheel arch and then unclip

though its probably easier with the bumpers removed

for the rear you need to remove the light clusters as there are two punch pins situated underneath them  :angry:

Thanks Guys,  My Dad has a set of ramp, so I prob will just use them & leave the bumpers on, as Rhyso suggests  :smiley:

Nice one
Jay
