Well the kind UPS man dropped it off today so I thought I best get it fitted! :)
Was a bit worried about the fit of it as I've heard mixed reviews but took the plunge anyway..(wasn't for paying genuine) :lipsrsealed:
Well here's the trial fit :rolleyes:

Not a bad fit at all I thought and pretty pleased overall :)
Taking it to the paint shop tomorrow to get it sprayed!
Got to get them silver meshes painted black too :sick: Before getting genuine grills ofcorse ;)
Will post more pics when sprayed up and fitted! :cool:
Cheers, Hoggy.

looks sweet fit looks good too i will have to buy one now ive seen ne fitted.
ive seen on the bay for £90 do gen grills fit???
-
This is the £90 off ebay :)
Gen grills will take a bit of midifying but will fit ;)
-
looks decent mate :smiley:
-
Cheers Barry, Can't wait to get it painted!

bet you cant :grin:

looks tidy mate but gen grills will be a nightmare to fit
-
Looks good that mate. Nice tight for against the wing.
I've just got a anni splitter that I can't wait to get sprayed and fitted so I'm with you on that 1 lol.

Cheers, yea I was pleasantly suprised with the snug fit! With a bit of luck it might get painted tomorrow!!

I have brand new coilovers and Audi TT ARB gathering dust in my room and a full anni kit waiting for paint. It's agonising :laugh:

Sounds like a busy weekend ahead of you then ;)
Get it done!!
-
was that the wagonworx one? as i git this one and i agree its a bang on fit... just gotta get the grills too as they look like youve just driven thru halfords :grin:
-
The fit looks good, but none of the replica ones look good enough for me to get one :undecided:
There's something not quite right about them, they look too square. I'm sure it'll look great when it's painted up though, you going to fit a LCR splitter?
-
i was gonna get this one but was unsure :undecided: let us know how the grills fit when you get a chance with it, and i'm still sourcing glue for that material you have, found one from USA where it stands up to 200C heat :shocked:
will let you know, currently got my cousin in Caroliner to test this claim if not i have found a few other sprays to use but nothing that im satisfied with
-
Dropped it off today so he said he should get it done for monday :)
Will have updated pics soon!
-
Looking good so far..Have been mulling this up too as opposed to paying Scene Tax for Anni Spliter. Plus my standard bumper is full of chips so could do with a re-spray anyway.
-
Yea scene tax is criminal! I just fancied a change from standard :)
Don't think it was a wagonworx bumper, Jom I think. Cant go wrong for £90 brand new.
Yes, definately a hint of Halfords!! Haha
-
lol you know!!
anyway they are all the same, my wagonworx one came in a FK box!!! :lipsrsealed:
-
i used a bit of tigerseal and and some well hidden self tappers for the gen grills
-
Yea Tigerseal fixes all problems ;)
Will have to see what the mesh looks like when its black. Then eventually get the gen grills and most certainly the Lcr splitter!!

heres mine just after fitting,now has cold air feed trumpet in it but you get the idea
-
I like it Jock, I like it a lot! :evil:
Will get myself the splitter asap!
Thinking of going with a like square number plate, to the side rather than the rectangle one, what you think?
-
isn't there one on here with orange wheels with numberplates like that?
-
Can't say I've seen one with orange wheels?
-
go to the thread at the top about posting a pic of your mk4 few pages back i think
-
Oh yea, similar, but not that far ocer, sort of inbetween the two grills as to not block the cai :)
-
The Finished Article ;)

Looks good :smiley:Did you have to get the arch extensions to get ths to fit before I fork out for genuine bumper
-
Ooo, from DPM. Im only 20mins away from them. Wonder if collection is available.
-

I would imagine collection will be available from them, even cheaper ;)
No arch extensions required :) straight fit ;)

Keeping standard mesh at the minute as it doesn't look too bad, L.C.R splitter next thougg.
Should hopefully stick my headlining back up at the weekend first though ;)
-
Looks good mate the only thing with the reps to me compared to gen is the gens seem to look like they stick out a bit deeper or is that just me?
-
Very very nice finished artical mate. Looks realy good. Bet your chuffed :)
-
It will look deeper with a lcr splitter, sooooon! ;)
And yea I'm chuffed with the way its came out :)
