Small update, finally fitted the rear deflectors tonight, sorry about the quality, light was going and only had the iphone with me.

http://i50.tinypic.com/2rpcjmw.jpg

Unsure on the rear ones and I can see the stickers coming off them before the weekend. Just got to wait 12hours before I can open the window to test them


....I think that on your blue car the ClimAir stickers suit it very well indeed. I guess that one cool option might be to only remove the blue ClimAir stickers off the front windows. If you are removing, then try that first before deciding to remove them all.

I'm glad to see that rear ones bow the same as yours - It's just not what I expected. They work brilliantly - Natural air recirculation, who needs aircon! And no more sounding shadowed by a low flying helicopter when the sunroof is open.

I was thinking that with the stickers but I'm going to leave them for now. If they didn't have the web address and phone number on them they would be better.

I know the feeling with the rear ones but they have grown on me and work well.. As for aircon I still need it due to no sun roof lol

Looks almost shadow blue in the last couple of pics of the deflectors  :wink:

I think Nodz wishes it was Shadow Blue. Theres proof on Facebook  :wink:

Is there??  :confused:  :scared: lol, I wouldn't change from laser blue for the world its a more exclusive colour than shadow blue  :booty: :signLOL:

Hmm more exclusive??  :grin: I recon it's on par  :happy2:

I just went on Autotrader to try a prove theres more shadow than laser about but its on par, which is annoying as when I wanted mine there was only about 6 for sale lol. And by doing that I've just found out that Chelmsford VW have a 10 plate .:R for £23k in blue just missing RNS and leather  :sad1: more annoyingly I'm going there tomorrow about the rust and they always seem to have a car I want when I go there lol

She's going to VW today to have the arches done under good will. Also having all the parts I've acquired sprayed and probably get them to fit them whilst its there and probably having the bonnet sprayed whilst its there. So I wont have her for a week but I don't mind to much as I'll be lazing round a swimming pool for a week from Monday.

She also passed her MOT with no problems on weds but I have got another screw in a tyre, this time the O/S rear.  :fighting:

So big updates due soon once I get a couple of little bits done when I get her back. Its only took me nearly 2 years to get round to doing it all  :signLOL:

It actually worked out quite well tbh, they couldn't do the good will until last week so I put it off for whilst I'm away, got a good price to get the other bits done and the bonnet so its a no brainer really. Be good to see mine and yours together at JKM in October :happy2:

Lol, not this time, well not to the car but my wallet has been raided :signLOL:

Cheers mate, It will be good to see the vision I had since before I bought her actually materialise 2 years on.

Hopefully I can get the money saved and get my alloys refurbed or new ones on by JKM then the car will be finished then

Cheers Gareth :happy 2:

Lol I know, this place doesn't help at all but by finished I mean cosmetics still unsure about power, handling route as I'm happy with what it does as standard.

Plus lowering has gone out the window now as I had to do an airport run the other month at 3 in the morning as SWMBO's minibus didn't show up, the car done well to take 4 cases totalling to 85Kg and 4 women. But she was on her knees (the car that is :signLOL: ) so that's why that's gone out the window as I need practicality.

Saying that this place can easily change people's minds :signLOL:

Air it is then - sorted :signLOL:

For a cheap and easy fix, I'd go for some H&R springs (well, I already have) - reasonable drop, no loss in ride quality and looks a lot better.

You car is going to look special, and IMO it will look odd at a standard ride height. TBH, its probably not that often you're rolling with 85kg of luggage and 5 up in the car.....

You would be surprised how capable it is on H&R's. I got 5 adults in mine and drove up a road with those stupid triple speed bumps and only scraped once  :surprised:

I would love it even lower but practicallity takes too much of a hit  :sad1:

You really can't go wrong with H&Rs, great balance of practicallity, handling, looks & ride quality  :notworthy:

I don't think I've got the boot space for the compressor for air lol..

I keep looking at H&R's as both of yours do look good and the drop is spot on. I'm gonna see what it looks like once bits are on and go from there as practicality is something I need, theres been quite a few times recently when if it had been lowered I would've been stuck
