Alternate front skirt owners

[Ralfi]

Can anyone with this front skirt confirm whether it's actually lower than the standard front skirt & hence needs extra care taken when driving over bumps/deep gutters ect?

Also, does this skirt come stock as the same unpainted black shade as the stock GTI skirts?

[VW GTI]

It comes unpainted and it sticks out more than the stock one, but not lower. It does make the front a fair bit closer to the ground when going into and out of steep inclines.

That's a factory optional Lip you can order through VW that attaches to the exisiting front bar yeah?

Someone here posted it a few days back.

I doubt that's going to hit anything. The front bar on my old silvia used to be a lot closer to the ground than that and came out a lot further, it was fine. Just don't go into multi story carparks haha

any ideas on cost?

That's what i'm worried about - I don't want to be paranoid about every incline I come across, because I know i'll forget one day & be reminded by a screech.

Hey guys, I have that kit on my car. Haven't had incline problems yet, but take care when it comes to pavements. Also, anything more than a 15mm drop would be risky stuff...

I love that, Jayrod. Colour-coded skirts make any coloured Polo look 100 times better!

Is that lowered from stock at all?

any ideas on cost?

asked VW, its $700ish unpainted.

nice one jayrod, I like that car. I liked the sideskirts black but looking at it now the colour coding does make it look a lot fatter. I think i'll have to invest in that lip for sure.

On a side note, they are 17's right and your car hasn't been lowered yet?
