My Polo GTI

[Bflat]

My 2.5 APR downpipe works a treat with my GIAC tune. I would agree with VWindahouse about the 3" pipe, it would be too great a diameter for the engine.

Custom is fine if it's done well, mine is. Cost around $400 from memory.

BT is big turbo

I'm hoping for a BT build myself but i have to secure a permanent job first. Short term contracts suck!

[FLYINGTI]

Oh i see, BT getting used to all these shortcut

$400 isnt bad for a dump pipe ben! so yours is custom??
i have a pretty sweet fabricator/performance mechanic thats gonna help me out with a few things=)

i was on google yesterday looking at a few idea i could change to the front of my Gti! i saw this and loved it!


so whilst i was at work i found some carbon fibre car wrapping vinyl ( laying around cause i work at a sign shop ) and thought id give it a go! hasnt been done yet but i pulled the grill out and gave it a clean and had a look at what is needed, what do other people this about this,
All Cleaned and ready!


The Carbon Film!


Also last night i took off the bonnet wrap i did following the black from the grill, and i must say, im glad i didnt paint it, cause im really hapy with the look with it off again!

[seangti]

I reckon the bonnet wrap really needs to be in a high gloss to look the goods. Could also consider going R spec on the bumper, so chrome up the centre black bits.

Matt, DO IT!

What's the worst that can happen, you take it off?!

I reckon it'll look good!

[FLYINGTI]

exactly, thats what i was thinking!

ill give it a go

so last night i gave wrapping the front of my bumber in carbon fibre to see what the look would be like!
i was thinking maybe it may be alittle poxy, but over all i think it came out quite well, the only difficult bit i came across was the number plate box, the film didnt like the 90 degree cut in so i neatly trimmed them.

i took some photos last night as i was doing it=)




AND FOR THE FINAL PRODUCT



TELL ME WHAT YOU GUYS THINK??

[nightphotographer]

IMO it looks amazing...haha!

[walkerchan]

Wow. That is really nice. I generally don't like the look of the carbon wrap and that picture you googled IMO wasn't so crash hot but you must be a master at this sort of thing. Looks absolutely amazing

[Bflat]

Mate that's looking proper!

Coming down to Melbourne anytime soon haha?

[seangti]

Looks much better than I was expecting. You've done a great job of the wrapping, must have much more patience than me. More pics?

[noone]

Nice job. Not a fan of the finish, but you're good with your craft.
