Title: Front Air Scoops
Post by: Neil gti on 15 May 2014, 05:36
Anyone have any info or seen these front scoops for sale anywhere  :sad:
I've had a bit of a search around but cannot find anything,
I'm after fitting an oil cooler but running out of space, thought this would be an ideal spot and allow extra cooling to the brakes,
Any thoughts peeps  :smiley:
They look like they are from the worthesee edition gti that was on show a couple of years ago ?

My thoughts exactly, never used them since I've had the car, so pull em off for extra cooling  :smiley:
Failing that fit the R bumper, but I do prefer the GTI bumper

Those are from SRS-TEC, a German company. Someone has them on golfmk6.com, you have to remove the fogs I think, it doesn't leave it open for air to flow in. I'd get em!

How are they fitted, do you know? Do you need to remove the fogs? Or are they just stuck over them? If they're just over them and the foglights still remain functional i may get a pair

That will be a nice looking mod Neil and with the added bonus of looking OEM at the same time.

Not had chance to do anything with these yet.
Car is booked in next week for WMI / oil cooler and a DSG remap, so while the bumper is off I will get the grills fitted and painted  :smiley:

Well dropped the car in today to get the oil cooler/DSG map and WMI sorted,
So that gives me a chance to get my bumper vents sorted out, the Trackdays have taken there toll on my bumper paintwork so decided to get it painted while it is off, also gonna get it clear wrapped to protect the sh!te Vw paint,
Managed to unclip all the grills out etc, really easy job and the fog lights and holders are only held in with 2 screws, trial fitted the new grills and they just need a little fettling of the back of the fibreglass on the finger parts, so dropped the bumper and new grills off to the body shop for them to sort it out  :smiley:

Stone chips  :sad:

Just a few dodgy pics of the vents fitted,
These do need a bit of work to the back of the vents to fit properly, but all in all pretty pleased with em,
The main reason I fitted these is that I wanted somowere to fit an oil cooler and it fits nicely behind the passenger side vent  :smiley:and also works a treat,
I was seeing oil temps of around 20 degrees less on track the other day, also added WMI at the same time so this might help to keep temps down another also

These are a full replacement for the fog lights, which didn't bother me as it's something I never use, plus they are actually there for a purpose not just cosmetic, ie cool air feed to the oil cooler  :smiley:

Thanks for the positive comments  :rolleyes:

I like them. None of the .:R cars have ever had fog lights, so it goes to show that they are unnecessary, especially with xenons.
