G60 arches
« on: 28 May 2007, 18:59 »
Hello to you all .I have received my new G60 arches to replace my tired old
 standard  GTI ones.As the car is almost ready for paint,i thought i would test
 fit the new G60 arches,on doing so i noticed two plastic clip section's on the
 top part of the curve on each of the arches.?? There are no holes on the outer
 part of the gti wing's to receive these clip's.Do i remove the plastic clip's
 or make holes in the wing's to receive these clip's ..Has any one fitted the above to standard gti wing's .Any help with this would be great.Many thank's

as long as there are suficient holes for the rivets to attach the arches on then don't worry about the clips, I'd leave them on unless they are fouling/creating an eye sore!

are G60 arches much different to the standard GTI ones? has any one got any pictures? Can you still order these new from VW?

Thanks

The arches are slightly wider.  I bought genuine VW ones for less than some after-market could offer, about 6 weeks ago!
