improving aerodynamics with OEM parts

[Tfsi_Mike]

Yeah, that's the list I made too, minus the spreader rivet as had 4 in my head doubled it for both sides and rounded upto 10 for safe measure lol. 
If they weren't 9 cents each I might have thought to myself, superglue? 

Job for tomorrow 

Thanks again Rich

Picked up the screws and clips from Vw Detmold this morning Woooo, exciting times 

Get the underbody trays later from Vw Paderborn.

Question is do I do the mods in the damp, between showers   

[Richn83]

You will get wet if you do that question is will it stop raining before Friday! or will it get worse the showers now might be better than doing it during a downpour on Thursday

Hi Mike,
Don't know how it works nowadays but can't you get it into a REME workshop/LAD after normal hours? I think I spent most of my growing up time in this way, until the bierfests got underway at least!

John

Right, Mike. Or at least kind of that.   
I have good memories on Sennelager and Staumühle as well.
Still have friends in Bünde near Detmold.

Some years ago my uncle had a garage called ''English Sportscar'' in Paderborn.
Unfortunately this company no longer exists.

Keep in mind to warm and bend it a bit to clear the oil pan!

Mines been sitting on bricks, with a couple of bricks in the middle in the garden in the sun for 2 days

Mine was about 1cm clear without bending Mike so you might be alright.  How did the rear stone guards go, you get the brake lines sorted eventually? And you been out for a drive yet?

Will see if I can feel the gap in the morning

Rear stone guards are a dead simple fit.  Was just the pin holding the brake cable holder was an arse to get out.   

From your pic it doesnt look like you've fitted the metal clips & screws at (x2) at the back of the 'lumps / triangles' or was you just snap happy and pictured before finished?

Went for a quick drive to get some dog food and treats before he goes to kennels.  Placebo effect or quieter, not sure lol.  Are you talking about motorway speeds?  I thought if may have sounded quieter but was telling myself its probably in my head
