Did you use Dans (IHI White Polo) parts list as a reference?

The intercooler alone come in at between Â£200 and Â£250 depending where you go, i priced vagparts and a seat dealer where i get 10% off, and the cost was crazy.

There are a surprising number of pipework parts and brackets.

Dan's cost over Â£500 when he did his Polo and he got a lot of parts really cheap as he works at a VW dealer

Used Dans list and got the exploded diagram to check the bits I was ordering were right. I work for a massive dealer network and got the parts from one of our dealerships all at cost. Wondering if I got all the bits I need now

Whats peoples thoughts on the CUP spoiler, I got one sitting in my garage and when I go to fit it I keep thinking its too lairy so keep it standard.

Ah well if you got it all at cost then that'll be why its so cheap.

I didnt bother with the Cup spiler, was one of the bits of the kit i wasn't that keen on.

i would consider the cup front bumper to clear it but to my knowledge, there is no cup bumper with washer jets?????

You could always get them cut out!

Not that easy to just cut holes out. Looked into it when i swapped my bumper over and to get it right would be a nightmare. Also the mechanism for the washer jets is bonded on the bumper itself. I couldnt see a way to do it that would look good. Realistically if you want the cup bumper you loose the washes jets

I always thought washer jets are pretty pointless anyway and would never go through the hastle of putting them in lol - Votex or regular Gti spoiler I recon.

Cant say I'v missed the washer jets myself.

Any other opinions on the Cup spoiler?

Ah fair enough.

Yeh to be honest I go out of my way not to use them on mine, if your cars clean they leave horrible water marks down the side of your car.
