guys, what are the chances of me fitting this exhaust surround to my stock valance? http://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-Golf_V--2.0T/Search/1K68075689B9/ES1928117/

so negative dan:lol:

i mean you could cut out the middle section of your stock valence, use that as a template to cut out the center exhaust from the R rear surround, plastic weld it in (hoping that the contours match). then get a donor stock valence and cut out a section to fill your existing stock exhaust hole, and plastic weld that. bondo and sand. apply paint with a plastic adhesion additive, and some sort of media to get texture.

look back and admire your handiwork

(or just buy an R rear and be done with it)

:biggrin:

ufff, thats a whole lot of work. I think I'll save up for an R valance. Too bad the one you were selling was BMP

palabra

all that work, time, effort, and cost when you can just buy the whole bumper for about $600 shipped, without worrying about poor fit ad finish

 

[nicolasl46]

Well, money is tight right now as you all might know. Don't hate me for trying to save me a few bucks LOL jk, I know you guys are telling me that for the best. Besides nobody wants to see an mkv turned into a ricer jejeje.

Yesterday I washed my car to find scratches and scuff marks all over my paint:mad0259: Now I have to start saving money to get that taken care off, because I really doubt that can be buffed out.

Question, comprehensive insurance claims make your premium go up, or just collision claims?

 

[nitroscope8]

How much for the car cover?

 

[nicolasl46]

This morning I started the engine to go to work, and the EPC light came on, and "engine fault: Workshop" came up on the MFD. While driving to the stealer, the RPMs wouldn't go higher than 2500rpm. Any ideas?

 

[nicolasl46]

Gotta change dealership, I'm sick of the bullshit from Koeppel VW. So my options are (distance wise) Bayside VW, Open Road VW of Manhattan, Sunrise VW, or Platinum VW. I would love to go to Smithtown, but its just to damn far for me if I have to wait for my car to be diagnosed. So which one do you guys recommend from my options?

 

[absence]

i recommend leaving koeppel immediately. going there is worse than going nowhere.

i have heard good things about open road vw of brooklyn. my buddy bought his passat there -- and i think kyle said that whoever they used to be (life quality?) was really good. i know from talking to the manager that they are not mod friendly.
