Nice kit! I've been looking at votex stuff for my tdi. Cracked seems like a good person to go to since he's always got bits in stock, that or ebay.

Are you planning on getting a votex front spoiler too? Let me know the ballpark figures you get for the resprays, it would be good to know so myself and others can factor in those kinds of costs when buying kit :)

Im still unsure for the front. I still may swap it to the 9n3.

It mounts in the same way the standard one does, not sure if its a straight fit wiring wise.

Gave the car its first clean under my ownership, not including a few visits to the polish people. I used my cherry snow foam, AG Ultra deep shine then AG high def wax.
