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,

            My panel shop said most body kits are simply glued on these days (which I believe is the case with these spoilers) so I asked him what he uses, so I took his advice and used Sikaflex-227 (Black). You can pick a tube up for $14.50 from Bunnings ($17.95 from Super Cheap).

            Once glued down (I used plenty) I taped it down and left it over night, worked a treat

            I hope this helps.
            Nice. Saves you from getting it resprayed!

            Thanks for the info

                                The lighting makes it hard to see the detail. The brakes look tiny (BBK will fix that), but I think it works.
