mk2 vrs tfsi

It bolts on, there's pilot holes pre drilled on the splitter so I used self taping screws to get my guide holes to drill on the bumper. Then just bolt it up, had to remove front lower grill (just pulls out) and pull arch liner back but not a massive job quite simple.

These arrived Thursday...

Borrowing a wind back tool off the wife's uncle on Saturday so will be fitting then, pics to follow.

So far the better brakes have made the most difference to mine mate

Money well spend

[VrsStebuzz]

I've never actually had uprated brakes on any of my cars so will be interesting to see the difference they avyually make. Wanted to get them on this weekend but couldn't get hold of the tool :(

[Paulbrown]

I got stainless brake lines fitted too along with new fluid and its make a massive difference

[VrsStebuzz]

I got a free bottle of updated fluid but not enough to fill the system, future mod I think that.

[VrsStebuzz]

Well what an absolute ball ache of a job the brakes where, the disc retaining screw is made of cheese. Why on earth vw decided to use completely different designs front and rear is beyond me 13mm bolts on rear caliper and 14 spline bolt on the carrier. But on the front oh no let's change it 21mm bolt on the carrier and a caliper that just slides off arrrghhh It proper threw me and slowed the whole thing down but all fitted now.

Weather was abit iffy so rather than risking it on the drive I shot up to my grans to use the garage, only downside being it's full of many car parts that I really need to clear out so couldn't get all the way in.

Forgot to take as many pics as I planned but here's two I got, I'll get a few more when I've cleaned the car.

Hoping to get drilled and grooved for my estate in next few weeks, good ready this cheers!

[Armovrs]

Where did you get the splitter from and I'm guessing it would fit an estate? Cheers

[Armovrs]

Never mind I've just seen someone else's reply haha

[VrsStebuzz]

I went grooved just for looks, thought drilled would be over kill but it's everyone's preference at the end of the day. Yeah it was from super skoda mate and yeah the front on hatch estate ate identical.

[VrsStebuzz]

Had to put my spare wheels on due to bald tyres on the front and no money in the pot just yet

Then had to drop her off for that dreaded time of year...

It's going to fail on both outer Cv boots as their leaking, but fingers crossed that's all, bushes and struts are all seeming worn and tired but hopefully their passable for now.

New tyres arrived today so just need time to get them fitted and I can say good riddance to the spare wheels.

I went for Goodyear eagle f1 assymetric 2. Found an eBay code on uk hot deals and got £50 off a set of 4.

Passed it's mot anyway so that's a huge relief I can just sort little bits out to tidy it up now. First job attack the stone chips and scratches.

[Jimbling]

Glad it passed mate

[VrsStebuzz]

Glad it passed mate

So am I, I gave the boots a wipe over the night before just to stop grease flinging around my arches, checked after mot and none visible so he mmust have been able to see the splits.

[VrsStebuzz]

Cv boots replaced and new tyres fitted so I could get my wheels on. Fell in love again she's just beautiful

[Discoda]

She certainly is a looker, stunning.

Basically how I would like mine to look, love it.

[MickeyB]

Wow: whether it's the angle of the photo, or more likely the ride height, wheel size and splitter, it just looks.... right.!

Well done sir: it's a great looking car: hats off to you!

It is a cracking picture, it's sat pretty well too as it doesn't look that low most of the time, desperately need to get it lowered.

Get it done!

[VrsStebuzz]

Get it done!

I want to but saving for a house too so priorities there at the minute.

[Paulbrown]

It's like a blue version of mine

Looks good

[MickeyB]

I have the same splitter, plus H&R 50mm springs: sits just right for a daily driver with no real noticeable compromise in comfort: you need these!

Slight progress on its way.... Got dispatch confirmation for new headlights today.

As soon as I've fixed rear window again I'll be having tints done too.

[VrsStebuzz]

Postman came today these arrived first.

Gutted the sidelights arse too big to fit in the hole. But the number plate lights...

Happy with those. Then the better parcel turned up.

So of course like a kid at Christmas I ran out to fit them.
