Looking at buying a Ventilated wheel-arch Liner.

[Treza360]

So I picked up the liner last night. Easy fit as Graeme said. I did mine slightly differently in that I didn't worry about a couple of the holes that had to be drilled.

The radiator in question:


The cat helping:


Rear section of the liner:


Vent section:
What I did here was only drill the one hole on the inside corner. I did this slightly higher than the previous liner as well. This allowed me to push up the under tray to above the lip that Graeme mentioned. This means I didn't have to cut it out. I don't know if this is possible with a stock tray is possible as mine has been modified for my skid plate. The other two holes for the centre and outer part of the under tray don't seem to be really necessary so I didn't worry about them.


Installed:

And finally something disturbing:
After pulling out my original lining I discovered this:

Holy mother of all that is clean, did it get parked in a swamp before I bought the car:






All cleaned out, I don't know if I'm game to check out the other 3 corners of the car:


Oh and I'm ordering a trolley jack on Monday hopefully if my contact can get a good price for me.
Cheers,

The Australian R32 has an extra radiator mounted under the right hand guard, so has the same airflow issues as an intercooler mounted in the same spot.

I don't think the Bora V6 4-Motion has that extra radiator - so no benefit for the Bora boys...

However, if you had a supercharger fitted , the air intake pod filter would be in that area so might give it some extra air.

Will check to see if I have that extra radiator.

I'd be going turbo if I go forced induction...

Using "the widowmaker" when attempting any work on the car....VERY disturbing!

Like I said, ordering a trolley jack on Monday.
That said the thing didn't budge at all.

Glad you're still with us Trent.

I have read some real horror stories about that jack.

[Treza360]

Trust me I was real conscious of the thing. Making sure the arms and legs etc were out of harms way as much as possible. Also made sure I didn't any real force to car as well. I've heard about the stories as well.
Cheers,

Glad that the group buy worked well!
I was looking to do this about three years ago with my MK4 GTI, however the motivation was not as strong as it seems to be now!
All look really good to I might add, better than carving up your liner!
OEM Plus!!!

Are there any of the vented liners left? If not i'll mod my own no worries. I did my own fan set up on the Aux rad. Cheers J

[Treza360]

Pretty sure Graeme had an extra one. Shoot him a PM.
Cheers,
Trent

[graeme86]

No, the five I ordered are all now installed on various cars.

[No457 Snowy]

Sorry, these other 5 are all spoken for as well.

[Mr. JLT]

No worries mates I'll mod mine or order one. Cheers J
