A FEW QUESTIONS.....

Post by blackmk3 »

i have had my mk3 now for about 5 months (my first car) and there are some questions i would like to be helped out with.

1. Can i fit a set of 16's on without rubbing or big modifications?
or do i need 15's instead?

2. How can i put front and back golf spoilers onto my car?

3.Can anyone tell me how to convert from 2 windscreen wipers to 1?

4. Are the DTM sports mirrors easy to fit, as i know you have to do something with baseplates.

5. Can anyone confirm pipercross make and induction kit for the 1.3?

PLEASE HELP!

16s will fit, but as far as i'm aware you will need to do a bit of surgery to make them fit. 15s are a safer bet (and look better imo), but it depeands on tyre selection and suspension set up
2. How can i put front and back golf spoilers onto my car?
check in DIY as section as i put a post in there with a link to a guide
3.Can anyone tell me how to convert from 2 windscreen wipers to 1?
easiest thing to do is buy a single wiper kit from someone like R&A Design or Venom motorsport
4. Are the DTM sports mirrors easy to fit, as i know you have to do something with baseplates.
As long as you get the correct baseplates its a simple bolt on mod (just removed the screws)
5. Can anyone confirm pipercross make and induction kit for the 1.3?
I haven't seen one, but do a search on google for pipercross' website, that should tell you

you can not get hold of any dtm mirrors in england that fit the mark 3 you have two import them through venom from germany and only one of them will fit being left hand drive. They cost a ripp off 95 quid.

Another option is to buy some ripspeed dtm mirrors from halfords for about 40-50 and you get a sheet of stirophone which u can cut to fit for the base plate.
