Am i right in saying the rieger spoilers are 100mm deep? I've designed this car to be rod legal just to allow me to test the car once ive made changes otherwise it could be a waste of a track day.

If you have a standard box you will need the SQS + E an electro magnetic assistance, as i have a Quaife six speed dog box i should be fine oh i think the shifters are £1279.56 no Vat.
 
Asi didnt have any mirrirs i bought the DTM style with built in indicators £30 pair similar to what i use on the MK3.

....'gillm' runs his trackday Mk5 GTI on the road with the Rieger front spoiler without any problems AFAIK. It's down to how low your suspension takes you. If you aren't gonna want to drive into any indoor carparks with steep ramps it shouldn't be a problem. My GTI is very low but I don't have road problems.

What's the point of replacing the OEM fuel tank with a new custom one ? Are you making room for a diffuser under the car ? :)

I didnt have one, The car was bought as a rolling shell + as you say the underside is now clear of any obstructions to allow a flat floor and diffuser.

Good to know Steve, it's much easier now to build a diffuser. Have you got any info on the downforce brought by the air dam ? I've got the same air dam and VwRacing gave me a very disappointing answer > they didn't test it in a wind tunnel but their drivers said the car feels much more stable at high speed !?
