    Weathershield & Arch Flares

    Forumers,

    I've searched everywhere for a Polo GTI picture with weathershields. I want to see what it looks like, and also the arch flares if possible. I'm close to purchasing a Polo GTI, and no, this isn't the make or break, but I just want to see if it'll be worth purchasing.

    The weathershields sometimes from the factory and nice and slim-lined, whereas some are thick and fat looking which is a no-no for me. I know it's serving it's purpose, but at the end of the day, personally, I would like for it to look half-decent as well.

    Also, does anyone know about the arch flares? I saw a thread on here which said the GTI already have the flares arched, but was just wondering.

    Does anyone have any links to any sites or better yet, on here.

    Thank you.

    I can tell you that the weathershields are the slimline type, I've got them on mine.

    Here's a picture:

    Thanks for that, appreciate it.

    Are they black or clear as it is kinda hard to tell.

    The flared arches are from the Polo S2000 (rally version).

    Other than the chassis, I'd think it to be a completely different car. Have not seen the arches for sale.

    I think he is referring to the optional "flares"

    I got my weahersheilds from VW. $55 the pair.

    I'm gonna rip em off though. Too noisy for my liking.
    Cheap, Fast, Reliable. Choose two.

    Can you please let me know how they're noisy? Also, I was advised $70 for the pair. Getting jipped 'ere!
