Looks nice Russ - I did mine a few weeks back.
I think your front looks meaner because of the extra vents - did you order and fit them yourself?

Cheers, yeah ordered those covers from Fischers Motorsports (I think thats what their called!) as recommended by RedRobin. Then its just two screws on each side. I think you can get them from UK dealers too.  :smiley:

Russ/Robin - I've just received my vented fronts today however only one side has the rear scoop behind the vent (to channel the air). Have you guys kept this on and should both side have it?

....It's as you've received it - One side has a removable panel set behind - I haven't removed mine because I'm not sure if it's not there for a purpose.

Martin - Looking at the rear badge some more, I think it would look better if the indented 'background' was glossy or that the two surfaces were different.

Yeah I left it on mine too, just installed as they came in the box.

Is it just me or does that look  :sick: Yours looks much better martininwillerby, but I'm not convinced somehow, I'd like to see a black ED30 with one (or GTI with smoked lights and colour coded). Front badge looks top notch  :smiley:

....Yes (for rear badge only for me), but I know that the TTshop haven't been able to source them reliably yet, so there's no point until we all know prices. Those Americans are being very sloooow :sad:
