Valance - What do people think?
« on: 11 June 2009, 21:09 »
I was wondering what people think of having a front and back valance on a mk4 golf.

My car's black and of course both of the valance's will be black.

I've found both front and rear on ebay for about £50:

Now although it says 4 motion I presume it will fit others?

Anyway - let me know what you think!

Cheers,
Jack

ouch lol

Will make a note to have a look cheers.

I was looking at the R32 kit (like 500+ from ebay or essex cars website) but not sure about the quality.

Anyone got a rough idea of the price for a decent quality anni kit?

I love the look of the R32 kit but I'm now leaning towards the anni kit.

The ones one ebay are Fibre Glass.

I have no experience with the material used in bumpers.

Can anyone give me a good overview or has anyone had any experience with them?

Appreciate it.

You wanna try and avoid the fibreglass kists - they are cheap for a reason! Try and find abs plastic kits, or better still, genuine vag parts  :smiley:

I just bought my rear 4motion valance from dealer and that was £52  :sad:, however this might be cheaper than other places as you need to account for p+p.

Just to clarify - the Front and Rear Valance will fit a non-4motion golf right?
