The GT and GTi have essentially the same front bumper and lower splitter, the GTi does however have a centre section that inserts in to the front at the bottom.  What I did realise though is that when I changed my splitter (original was damaged) I ordered the GTi one and this has fixing points running along the centre of it, I think the lower insert will still fit a standard GT but perhaps the install will be more fiddly.

The part number for the insert is: 1K0 807 110 9B9 approx' 40 quid with VAT.



thankyou thats most helpfull , like what you have done with the rear bumper . thats the only part that lets the gt down . im waiting on a lower votex one for mine. somthing a bit different

Agreed, I think even the GTi rear valance is a bit of an in your face nasty lump of plastic, but colour coding is the way forward.   Post some pic's up of the vortex one, be interested to see it.  :happy2:

Fitted my dash top vent today, well happy I think it makes the space looks 100% better.  :happy2:
A big thanks to demon666 for finding it on the bay. :drinking:

Before -



After -



Just need to get a sunlight sensor to fill the gap at the back.

Also cleaned up the rear calipers and painted them gloss black, no pictures but they look much better, hope to do the fronts tomorrow (weather permitting) will post some before and after shots.

Lol @ you both.  It does look like a speaker I will give you that, but it is actually a vent, I think it is standard equipment in the GTi but not the GT, at least not all of them.  The tray I replaced it with has a blanking plate to block the vent, with this installed it reduces the flow when set to the occupants which makes for a much more pleaseant and temperant experience.  :happy2:

Thinking about it, its probably fitted to all cars which have the climatronic A/C.

The vent wasn't standard on many cars. I think the early GT and GTI's came with the 10-speaker set up (not the 6 you get now) and that included the big one above the centre of the dash. The scroll on the front of it is for a vent, but it comes up at the front, right next to the windscreen.

I have an early ('54 plate) GT which came with all the pre-cost cutting goodies: metal glovebox handle, no roof aerial and a ten speaker system. Will try and get pictures up tomorrow in the daylight.

Nice colour car mate, glad to see your treating her well. :-)

The vent part is within the area I've marked, when I fitted the unit I can say for sure there is no room for a speaker either in the unit or the space it goes into.



Thanks for your comments mate.   :happy2:
