How's the quality and fit Shabba of that rear valance??? Did it come with the exhaust spoiler and no reflectors?
Title: Re: Shabba's Gti
Post by: Shabba168 on December 17, 2012, 09:21:00 pm
The fit is good the finish needs a bit of work but its not really bad. Just a bit of extra prep

I didn't come with the reflectors there available from vw. The exhaust surround is all part of the main part.

My milltek has the adjustable pipes so can make they sit perfect

I'm not sure might keep it for now. Once I put that on will be temped by stage 3 with a k04 I dunno what to do.

Anyway got my new Revo intake on today, I had it colour coded to match the body colour.

Very nice touch on colour coding the intake pipe, Dan The Shabba Man.

It would only look good on a Steel Grey car though, IMO.
