adrian13's RS golf TDI Build

The mod bug bit you hard on this one hey

Really looking forward to seeing how those winglets look on the front, I had been thinking about it but didnt want to lose too much of the OEM look ..
Im pulling the trigger on either an R front bar if I can get my hands on one or a GTI front bumper in the next week or so. So we can share our stories of how the bumper never actually fit on the first go haha

Awesome man the R or GTI bar is definately an uplift to our standard bumpers, good luck with it all im sure it will look sick! I think ive been bitten more than once, in fact, i think im infected from it and theres like a swarm just flowing within me! (That sounds a little disturbing but thats what happens when the modding starts )

So did they say if the lip fits okay?

They havent, but we lined up the lip against the bar without clipping it in and all the clips are exactly where they need to be. Its a genuine Votex lip, and is made to fit flush with an original GTI bumper. Im sure things will work out fine

Good news, have you got a link for the seller?

Still trying to find one to be honest, I emailed the seller and he doesn't stock them anymore. However, Im trying to find another seller that i was looking to buy from

Thanks mate

Thanks mate

Alan, I honestly cant seem to find genuine Votex Lips. Ive emailed all possible sellers that look like they sell genuine Votex lips but i keep getting the same reply, replica. I began to question whether mine was realy or not but it did come in a votex box luckily...ill keep trying my luck but its not looking good mate, sorry

Also on a bad note, my car is STILL at the body shop and is not in my possession at this moment. Expected time of final result will be Tuesday morning. Im not too happy in terms of all the delays happening with the installation of all the parts, but cannot complain as the colour match is just perfect. Anzac day did hold back a day at the body shop hence why im getting it a day later. Fingers crossed for Tuesday morning guys!

Sorry to hijack your thread Adrian but a friend of mine Alan has just sent me a message that he is looking to sell his replica Votex front lip for a MKV GTI, unpainted and it can be yours for $100.

So after a week and a day of waiting, I finally picked up my car this morning! I didnt get much time to enjoy it in the light as i had to flee off to work as soon as i picked it up. In my opinion, I think it came out pretty good considering all the hiccups on the way. The paint match was spot on, the lip sits very flush with the bumper, the winglets have been bolted directly to the front lip which makes it extremely sturdy compared to many others ive seen on other cars, the front gloss black badge ties in well with the silver/black/red theme and the rear badge came out nice as well. One thing i didnt like was the 3M silver inserts on the rear badge, they almost look white in photos and are a very pale silver against the reflex silver. Still looks okay but would have preferred it to be darker! All in all i think it pulled off well. I just need to master going up and down the driveway now! Took me about 40 mins off trial, error and scrapage before i figured out a technique. Heres some iphone pics that didnt turn out well :

Thanks mate appreciate it! The reflash will be done when i play catch up with the bank, need to put the money i used back into that account so i dont fall behind in other mods once ive topped it all up, ill be free to do whatever! Reflash may be on the cards, depends on how it all pans out
