Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • The pulling of fenders...

    Hey ho!
    In my mk3, I have low low suspension and 15mm spacers on each of the rear wheels. Although it removes some of the horrible "tucked" look and makes it look a little bit more "down and out", it rubs on the rear wheel arch's...

    Now i've bent in the lip a tiny bit, but that's cracked the paint (oh well, won't win any DOVW awards with that)

    What I wanna know is how I can modify the guards to:
    A: not rub (as much)
    B: run lower offset (whether through new wheels or bigger spacers or both if getting porsche wheels)
    C: look cool

    Oh yeah, mk4's don't have the lip in the rear, only the front (you lucky fiends)

    Here are some pics for views/discussion...




    Apparently i can take to the rear guard with a body hammer and baseball bat, then presumably fill and paint, thereby coming to this ending...

    There are places that can roll the lip, completely up and away with a special tool without breaking the paint. Costa xxx1.8T got it done on his A3, someone will do it in Melbie.
