Title: mk4 valances
Post by: wakeboarder15 on 23 March 2010, 21:12

recently got my golf and well there is no front end valance and the back one looks crap (but there is one there so not as bad as front :grin:)

anyway can someone suggest/link to somewhere where i can get a front valance?
dont really have much money so cheap as possible please :rolleyes:

also if there is a rear valance to match the front then a link to that would be great as will look crap if odd :wink:

thanks a lot
elliot

alright m8 it depends how much u got to spend, there loads on flee bay as little as 25 qid del for front but as i'm learning some materials are not very good such as fiberglass valances as to quote some advice i was given " tend to chip and shatter easily"

would rather spend a tad more and get better quality ones but dont really have all that much cash so around the 100 mark would be nice (for front and back that is)

cheers

p.s. bobbarley, 100 is a bit too expensive for just the front :rolleyes:

EDIT:
just noticed the rear valance has a slot for exhaust pipe...which i dont have and wont have for a long time (good year i would have thought)
so is there the same valance just without the exhaust slot...or do you rekon it would look ok without the exhaust there :undecided:

i'm pretty sure the diesel gt tdis or whatever the 150's called has the same one but with the vents open rather than blanked off

probably about the same money

i think its a little deeper than the normal one, but it may just be how it looks, personally i woudnt get it until i had the exhaust first personally. plus saves 50 quid or so

dont think the gti ones are different, never checked tbh,

rear valance is cheaper at the dealers

the tdi 150 front valance has a vent on the passenger side, 4mo has no vents

Front valance is around £43 and Rear is around £53, from TPS

Just bought rear today from them  :smug:

Post by: wakeboarder15 on 24 March 2010, 07:59

personally think it looks better without vents!

regarding the rear one then shall i just get it and then stick it on and live with the hole for a while?

cheers again
