Title: louvres
Post by: jamie16v on 20 October 2008, 15:10

anybody know if the dealers are able to press in the louvres on the wings like on the T4?. also how much roughly would this cost?.
not looking for a styling mod, just a way of getting cool air in..

kool louvers used to do pressed vents if they are still running but if you want the genuine VAG thing, what i did on my other car is hack the wing of a transporter van and weld it into my wing

Or as kells said pick up a t4 wing and weld the vent in.

Check out your local yellow pages for "Sheet metal fabrication" many companies have the correct kit for doing this..
