Came home from sixth form today to find my brother and dad had fixed on my spoiler and handles :D Am really pleased with the way it looks! Starting to look more like a GTI now ;)

Picked up the other centre this morning aswell, all is good :D

Let me know what you guys think 8)

Looks great Greg! Do you know did they have to drill any holes for the spoiler or was it just put on with adhesive?

Seems as though you're doing everything I wish I did with my 6n2 :)

Its fitted as an OEM spoiler for the GTI, which is two drilled holes with special seated nuts on them to pull the spoiler in, and fixings where the existing brake light would be.

Looking good greg, the spoiler is a nice addition for sure! How're you getting on with the driving? BTW there is a picture of one of my BBS RXii's in its previous state (the before pic, obviously), or at least its a picture alex sent me about 2 years ago when he flogged me his refurbed set lol.

Have you had to inform the insurance about these mods? Or do they not count?

I never know when to phone or not. :(
Cars looking good though mate!

How many more lessons do you think you'll need?!
