gti spoiler on gt tdi?
« on: September 02, 2011, 09:36:19 pm »
ive got a mk5 golf gt tdi 140 and atm the rear looks poor tbh. i parked next too a gti the other day and noticed the spoiler sets it off so much better. I was wondering does a standard gti spoiler fit the gt tdi?

Avoid the poor GTI/R32 roof spoiler !!  :sick:
You need a different 3rd brake light and furthermore GTI and R32
are known for wet brake light probs.

So go for the easy to fit Votex spoiler like Joe did. This one is also
aerodynamically much better shaped.

I've got one ready to go on mine mate, make sure you get a good one tho. There's a lot of cheap ones out there.
To fit all you need is some body adhesive and leave it for 24h.

A little confused here, are you saying the spoiler pictured above your post is a vortex one?  I have heard about the issues with water ingress on the brake light though?

It's a Votex spoiler, I bought one a few weeks back for our Golf (yet to be fitted).

There shouldnt be any problems with the brake light as it just wraps around the brake light, or have i missed the point?!  :grin:

With the OE spoiler you also need the fitting 'strip/bracket' this attaches to the tailgate first (IIRC it is only bonded on) the OE spoiler then clips onto this bracket and just the corners of the spoiler are actually bonded to the car.

Is vortex OE?  Just to confirm, the part number for the vortex boot spoiler is - 1K0 071 640 and does someone have a picture of one fitted to see the difference?  Also, does anyone have the part number for the GTi boot spoiler?

Yes, the one on the pics above is a VOTEX  (not VoRtex).
So no issues with water like the GTI/R32 roof spoiler and easier fitment.

Votex ist the former name of ''Original Volkswagen Equipment'' OEM or
''Volkswagen Driver Gear''. On the forums most people say short ''Votex''.

I paid over the odds to be honest (Im not 100% what they are worth!), around £100 but it was was local to me and I hadnt seen any more so just took the plunge!
