Doing a bit of Friday afternoon dreaming on MK6s...as you do!
Anybody seen a MK6 GTI with R side skirts or got any plans for this? Think they would work well on a GTI and blend with the bumpers. And maybe the rear diffuser painted gloss black too for good measure.
-
I dread to think what VW would charge for them considering what they charge for the R.
-
I would leave your GTI the way it is, the GTI in my opinion is the better looker of the two and the only thing I would change on the GTI would be to get the LED rear lights.
-
I think the sideskirts are one thing that the GTI is missing which it should have.
I can imagine the R ones costing a fair bit... plus painting and fitting.
Maybe there are some aftermarket ones that look the same but cheaper.

Agree with the first bit of that but going the cheap body ebay special route is asking for trouble. As the old saying goes, buy cheap, buy twice.

Is that £345 for both including painting and fitting ? If so, I might get them.
Group buy, group buy ! :grin:

Price excludes fitting but they do come in primer so will match my car well but other cars may need them painting :grin:

Hate them.
Even the Golf Bluemotion has them.
Now, how low can you stoop? :sad:

Cool, everyone can get them on environmental grounds then! :grin:

Snoops: Blue and Grey in designer speak is very chic! :wink:

Not sure they would be that noticeable on carbon grey, though... I'd definitely be interested if I had white or red :wink:

LED rearlights, Golf R side skirts, rear silencer and remap. This car is costing me near £30,000! :cry:
I am trying very hard to resist these temptation!

And you will never re-coup any of this when you try and sell it!
Resist, I say and spend the money on plastic surgery! :laugh:

Because I am a lover of trinkets just like you! :grin:
-
You might not recoup but if you sell it privately it might be the difference between a sale or not.
I know I'd rather plump for the £20k car with LEDS's and leather than one without.

'course. More trinkets, quicker sale possibly. Side skirts on a GTi? No thanks! :smiley:

I was considering the Golf R / Bluemotion side skirts but after checking the price I don't think I'll buy them at 484 each! They might as well come to my home and steal my stuff.
I might respray the current GTI side skirts instead together with the rear diffusor, front lip and mirror covers. I was thinking gloss black. In my imagination I think that would look cool contrasting my reflex silver GTI. Anyone seen this done or with another color? Opinions and suggestions are very welcome. :)

How about getting the front lip, GTI sideskirts, wing mirror housings and the rear diffuser carbon wrapped.....?
Should look good getting them all done together.

I looked into getting my windg mirrors, front lip and rear diffuser all sprayed gloss black, think it would look great. However the boyshop i got a quote from wanted £800, could not beeive it. Would have a go myself, but think it may turn into a nightmare im not proffessional sprayer.

i must pay more attention when typing, i look like a 5 year old posting that last comment

wow. I think this is the first time ever I can say it's cheaper here in Norway. I can get mine resprayed for about 550 GBP. Maybe you should get a quote somewhere else? :)

I thought about wrapping but I'd prefer it to be real carbon or just gloss black. I'm sure wrapped carbon would look awesome as well though.
I've seen the carbon diffusor and front lip here on the forum but I don't know if I can get carbon side skirts as well. I'd prefer all three to match. :)

You surely must have heard of Rip-off Britain. An overpriced and underperforming country with an unmatched superiority complex.
Eyeball should go to Norway, have a holiday in the clean air and get his re-spray done. He'll get a better finish probably and a holiday to boot. But, on the other hand, a holiday in Norway will bankrupt him!
-
Good point, problem with living in Windsor, will have to get some more quotes abit further north. Dont you just love rip off Britain.
-
Awry, there is some carbon fibre side skirts on Ebay for £249 look pretty good.
-
Could be slightly biased here :grin:
How about a group buy for the ones I can get hold of. There are pics in my carbon thread but I'm using my phone and can't do whizzy links to them at the mo.
Hopefully Exonian ( Andy) will see this and post about the look and quality of the products on offer. The Rear Diffuser is gorgeous and very well made. Fitment looks good also.
-
... as if by magic, I appear.
I met up with Matt last weekend and had a play with a rear diffuser of his. Lovely bit of kit, very very light, very smooth and glossy. :drool:
A set of lower trims (front splitter, side skirts and rear diffuser) in genuine CF would look amazing, much more class than the cheap plastic factory trims. The front lips can come in a few different styles too.

Thanks for the tip Paul. After looking for this kit I found a carbon kit for the GTI that included exactly what I was after. It consists of carbon diffusor, front lip and side skirts. Damn ebay made it so simple to check out...haha. I've ordered it and the whole package costs 745 euros. At least it was cheaper then ordering the parts separately and best of all it is a lot cheaper then the stupid VW R skirts alone that costs me 1119 euros to get here. In addition it would have cost extra to spray it to my car color.

Can't wait to get them. I think the carbon will contrast the reflex silver quite nicely. I've also booked the car to get the front trim sprayed reflex silver as well. Pics will follow when I get everything in place.
Now...that carbon mirror looks good as well but I'll put that on hold. Can it be too much carbon? :laugh:
Schwing! Very cool but I think I'd prefer a color coded hood.

Will be good to see all the parts fitted, i am thinking of doing the same less the bonnet. I have a white mk6 GTI, should contrast really well. Think the carbon wing mirrors would look good to.
-
Just got a mail from the seller and the diffusor I ordered is not in stock. I probably won't get it till end of december. :(

They look great on the advert. Interested to see what theyre like when you get then
