Scrap that
Votex or R32 / Anni
-
Its a Votex
Basically the Anniversary kits forefather :cool:
-
Lucky not to have the cheeky rubbed bit in the centre where they carress the aerial whilst opening the boot. Mine has a sly gash.....
-
Its better than not having one surely! lol Been hunting for so long, according to vw dealers they only have the R32 spoiler now which is new at £230 which i aint away to pay for.
Unless i come across a different spoiler within 3 weeks then thats the one i'll be putting on. Car gets sprayed start of august. How do i go around "bolting" the spoiler on as ive heard of people saying this. Thanks.
-
Votex spoiler :cool: Nicest mk4 spoiler imo.
-
does a lot of people have these? Im sure the guy said it came off a T reg which explains what rhyso said "forefather" :tongue: Older style but i like it and im sure it'll look pretty sweet.

anyone got any pics of a car with the vortex spoiler on?

Only by about an inch or so :tongue: Votex is slightly bigger than those but from a distance you'd struggle to tell
-
So what ive got here is in fact fine to put on Rhyso :drool: Cleaned it up today, managed to take all the by looks of it tiger seal off and sanded that part down so it sits nice on tailgate, I see theres a few holes in the part ya cant see once its on, how do ya screw this on? I'd rather do that along with an adhesive as im sure someone will be tempted to try and a knick it haha.
-
I think they are just tiger sealed on.. my mates mk3 his spoiler is just sealed on.. believe me once its on its on take quite a lot of effort to get off lol
-
Right cool, Is TigerSeal the best thing to use or whats even better to use?
-
tiger seal is perfect for the job just go get a tube put some on the spoiler put spoiler in place.. wipe off excess while still wet and then masking tape to hold in position till dry :) Its really good stuff and easy to use.. but if your getting your car sprayed in the near future get the spoiler sprayed separately and then put on after or get them to do it :)
-
its the bumper inserts and door handles that are getting sprayed, their getting colour coded so once thats done i'll then put the spoiler on, quite lucky as the spoilers spot on with colour so i dont need to worry about that lol. Tiger Seal it is then!
-
What do u think about the swap of alloys in my other topic started today? worth it or not?
-
I really like the ones you have.. but everyone else likes the others.. i think alloys is such down to personal preference and how the car sits and what look your really going for.. for me the ones you have are better :)
-
oh yer and can you post a pic of the spoiler in position on your car please i dont have a spoiler and wouldn't mind one..
-
well its not going on until its been sprayed as it will look daft lol, will send pics as soon as its all done mate
-

There are 3 pics of a Votex spoiler fitted mate. If you look in the centre of the spoiler, there is a little yellow groove where it has rubbed against the aerial for 12 years. Too late to do anything about it now but you should check that your aerial doesnt hit it. I think thats why the later ones have that horrible cut out. The R32 one isnt as long I dont think
-
that looks good mate.. the aerial is no where near it have i missed something is it in different place on some golfs ??

When you open the boot........
-
Looks good on ur car mate, well i cant wait to fit mines, had to cut off the excess sealent from the previous fit today so gave it a sanding too and sprayed the part u dont see, so its looking good, from being out of a scrapyard its not got a mark on it so im well chuffed. Slight wee mark where the ariel was rubbing but its not quite taken the paint off.
-
oh i feel stupid now rhyso :embarassed:
-
vwfiend .. where did u get ur ariel as last time i bought a shorter one the radio signal went to f**k. Just really bad but since i put the standard normal ariel back in its place its perfect. The short one was a £15 off egay. If possible can u reply with a link to one that will actually work and wont loose radio signals... Thanks mate.
-
Yep, courtesy of VW Wolfsburg 1998. Not changed from standard pal. Radio reception is all good with it, the spoiler isn't...... An aerial is an aerial, however if you change your head unit for an aftermarket, it helps if you use an aerial amplifier separate to the head unit itself that runs off a 12v feed
-
well i dont know if the ariel i bought was just crap then but its like the standard one i have but shorter edition. Looks good but it obv aint good enough, i guess i'll just need to shop around and get one somewhere then.
-
Have you changed your stereo? If not then go to a local audio specialist as they will advise something half decent rather than a halfrauds anodised 'bee sting' aerial or a e92 'style' fin :sick: tps might do one as mine is genuine
-
whats tps? i dont think theres a shop in Dundee called that. Just an autofactors then?
-
nothing wrong with the cut out on the spoiler, at least it serves a purpose and stops the aerial rubbing on it :wink:
I have an Enfig short aerial on mine, no problems with reception
-
Right well im gonna go have a look around the net for one of them then lol cant be loosing the radio signals lol i like my music too much haha

Nope :tongue:

Boooooo :sad:
Any ideas what i should get then, i do like the normal aerial but the rubbing on spoiler wont do it any favours.

-

-

Most have reported reception is unaffected :smiley:
-
hmmm myt do tht then, maybe use a lighter to melt the top a little to make it smooth like.
-
Mate, the cut out is heanus! Although yes the purpose is served well! I think my aerial was standard with the votex kit so it might be worth looking at cars being broken if not
-
Alright mate, gonna nip down the scrappies tomorrow and have a wee look, might get a nice aerial off an audi or something lol
