GTI Back Box on GT sport 2.0d (140)
« on: December 03, 2014, 05:30:06 pm »
Hi There,

I have obtained a genuine second hand GTI Back Box which I want to fit on my (140) 2.0 Diesel. I understand that this can be done with some minor modifications. Does anyone know exactly what is involved?? (I already have the GTI valance)

Thanks Very Much

Adam

do a search using the "search" tab, there was a thread on this a while ago. very simple. get you local exhaust place to just cut yours off and cut the GTI one in the same place. they put a collar and done.

did this to my old mk5 GT and it made it look a load better

Great,

Any welding involved? If not I will do it myself! Thanks for the info! fed up at looking at that big wall of black plastic on the back of my car!

Caan you upgrade the lower splitter or is it easier to replace the whole bumper for a GT 170 version?

Get the lower splitter from the GTI. Much better than the one from the GT 170. :wink:
