What do you think of my new wing vent and red splitter?

The wing vent looks pretty cool, certainly a unique touch! Are you planning to place an induction kit behind it... or am I getting my wires crossed with another post...?
Personally, IMHO my own car wouldn't benefit from a painted front spoiler, being a dark colour anyway, and I quite like it in it's standard grey plastic glory! Plus as I pointed out on another forum, I have managed to bump the front spoiler a couple of times in hasty parking manoeuvres and much prefer the idea of a little refurb with some bumper care to remove the marks, than a repair bill or some quality time with a touch-up paint-stick
Still, good job well done

Ive got a bmc on the car, i run the original air feed pipes straight to the vent!
The panels sprayed and sealed up tight on the back so it wont rust!!
Now the bmc sounds like a scooby gaggle! very nice stuff!
Si the wipers will go 2mo mate! our post office has been closed for the easter break!

Very nice touch mate, like the vents, rather unusual though, where are they from? not the usual Sprinter van or Transporter vents which make it different!
I agree with Si, my car is black so having the spoiler colour coded has little effect...looks great on the silver and red GTIs though!

You might find there is a slight vacuum at that position, particularly with the way the intake is designed. But it should help reduce the air charge temperature.
You did ask what we thought.....
personally...? I think it looks out the corner of my eye that someone has backed into it. I really like symetry - can we have another on the other side?

Cor if someone backed into and left that in my wing id be well chuffed! normally they leave big dents and fcuk off great big scratches!
I just hate bein the same as all the others in vag world who go for sprinter or transport vents! break away from the sheep a voice said so i did! all comments are welcome if we all like the same thing god the world would be V weird!

Yes they are 16" rx's with toyo!!!
It does look good in the flesh but not all will like it as people have diff tastes!
