Title: whats peoples thoughts on the following mods.
Post by: chris1h on 26 April 2014, 18:49
My golf is pearlescent black, 3 door.

1) front door window wind deflectors.
2) matte vw badges front and rear                      from pics i have seen looks good..
3) rear window tints.                                       .(very unsure might make it look abit "van" ish.)



whats your thoughts people? Has anyone done any of these and have any advice or tips when installing too?

Only my humble opinion pal.....

1. personally don't like the look of them, for me only an option for preference
2. again preference only. I prefer to keep my GiT standard or at least OEM upgrades (except remap!). However, I also consider whether this may have an affect when selling in future, so again up to you !
3. I have these from factory but they aren't as dark as other marques. I'd go for this anyhoo (certainly darker than mine i.e. factory)

I like them, might have a closer look at them if I don't get a satisfactory outcome with my dealer about my phoney monza's

It turns out the monza's on my gti that I bought 18 months ago are replica's.

The dealer has openly said that they fit them to cars(they didn't disclose that when I bought it) long and short they are knackered white worm all over every wheel.

Just put wind deflectors on our Polo, think they look good.
Front & Rear VW badges have been sprayed with Plasti Dip matt black (it simply peels off if you don't like it).

Wind deflectors can really make your windows grate on the MK6 Platform. Had to take mine out as they sounded scratchy after 4-6 months.
