GTI bodykit

Post by NeilMcConville »

Does anyone know where I could get a gti bodykit for my 1.2 polo? Or know of any other nice kits?

You have looked at the official VW accessories, right?

The rieger one looks pretty sweet, but would rather just a genuine gti kit, would look much better i think? Can't seem to get one anywhere there :(

...and yet you want a standard, polo GTI front and rear bumper? Are you going to make a GTI replica or have different grill and spoiler combos etc....? I only ask because I personally (waiting for the flame again because I'm apparently a head-up-arse arrogant, superior-complex endowed GTI owner) don't know why you would want to make a non GTI look like a GTI, then not have the punch like the GTI.

Unless, you have a specific colour that isn't on the GTI, like the pepper grey metallic, then if you put on the front and rear bumpers, look at a bluemotion grill, colourcode the black rear bumper insert and have some different wheels, that could look pretty cool....

All i want is the looks of a GTI, i have no real need to be going at crazy speeds (although i would miss the sound of the gti) Having the GTI rear bumper makes the car look so much nicer than it really is. Im not gonna change everything and make it identical....i just want a nice back bumper :)

Cool, that makes sense:) I reckon though, for the fully individual touch, you should look at colour-coding the whole rear bumper, or buy that reiger colour-coded insert:) As for crazy speeds, I hit 200 today, noticed the car kinda hits a bit of a wall around the 170 mark and starts getting a little floaty, that could have been the road though, it wasn't exactly billiard table smooth, it did have a monster bushfire go over it only 2 years ago! :) oh well, excuse for come aerodynamic enhancments maybe....

For the cost of a the invidual parts from VW you might as well have bought a GTi in the first instance. ABT also do some nice modifications that's not mentioned yet and gives you another option :)
