Liking the Rear Screen  :happy2: where from and how much?
Liking the wind deflectors  :happy2: shame about drips
Loving the R-line grills  :grin:  real shame on the outer edge, would a golf bumper with Jetta grills solve this?

Much improved  :happy2: NOW GO AND WASH IT !!

Rear screen off eBay £30 genuine parts (400182621069 is the item number)

That's why you put the rear windows down 1/2 an inch!! Already got the drips sorted!!

The R-line grill would technically go straight on a golf GTi or GT sport. I'm not 100% convinced yet. Even though I trimmed the clips to make them fit - if I sold them on they would still fit securely to a golf bumper.

Ill get round to washing it!!

More oem parts en route!!

Re: Mk5 Jetta - aka Roland Rat!! Wheels Help - what to choose??!!

Ok so a few things done recently!

R-line foglight grill fitted
A few mods have to be carried out to them to make them fit the jetta (3 lugs don't line up with the holes, you can trim them off and they will hold in place fine due to the screw) also they are a slightly different shape around the leading edge.

The shape issue.



This is the problem I had when I fitted mine today  :wink: , so ATM they're off whilst I try to mod the fittings  :happy2:

Next parts to order - GTi front spoiler, GLi side skirts & Gli rear valance. maybe a private plate - so I can get away with a US spec number plate size

Just grab yourself a US spec. boot then you'll have an excuse for the plate...and it looks far better anyway  :P

The reason I'm looking at different rims is the 0.06's aren't going to be available until the end of April (production issues), 0.05's are out of stock & I just can't justify over a grand on just rims for the Compomotives!!

So I'm after alternatives!!

Something different rather than multispokes!

I think it will look good!
