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,

  • i want to smooth out the rough edges

    Hey,

    i was thinkin of spending a bit or cash to either get a new simple body kit or even just a lip kit.

    Im modifying the front bar so that the cooler sits lower and straight.
    do you have any ideas on a lip kit?

    by the way the wheels are gone and some 18" staggard fitment wheels are on the way.






    give me your suggestions.

      that cooler is odd looking.. if it was wider maybe it could look better as it would fill in the gap

        I'm with steve on the mudflaps. will make the world of difference. then I'd look at getting rid out the rub strip on the bumpers and doors. the lower plastic lips could be replaced, but go small and sublte.

        just my opinion.

            I geuss there would be.

            So obviously not a quick job. you'd need a body shop to fiberglass over them or something, or plastic weld or whatever they do.

            It would clean up the front and rear bars though imo..

              I`d paint the intercooler and get some black mesh for the front bar.

                Yep to right there Jarred, shaving the front and rear bars get them smooth they will look ****ing awesome so nice and clean. Alot of the vortexers do it themselves do a search for it on the mk4 forums

                  Are you able to go any lower?

                  some sort of lip kit would look good imho. The front end just looks like a boat the way the bumper curves under
