I kinda like, don't know why though?

Brave cutting/pulling the arches to actually use them properly...

Only thing you have to remember is that this kit is to match the standard GTI rear end. If you have an ED30 the lower front splitter/rear bumper is a different shape :happy2:

hmmm, pulled this from the thread


Q: Will these flares automatically allow me to use wider wheels and tires?
A: No, these flares cover your existing arches, so if they are not currently modified for extra clearance you will not be able to run wider wheels and tires without issues.

I like the look but think it wouldn't work on many colours. Looks beautiful in black on a CW car.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
