What have you done with your Polo so far (and today)

[LunchboxVRS]

I'll do my best mate, hopefully they're not muppets...fingers crossed and most likely would be more viable to do a combined shipment and split them up upon arrival in Sydney.

Don't want those little wings though. Won't be putting them on.

The wings are seperate the only thing on that link for sale is a full CF twill front splitter...I'll tell you this...from the look of that thickness...its worth the price...looks to be properly vacuum baked as well.

I think unless you buy matching side skirts and rear apron/diffuser...having just that lip only will make the car look incomplete due to the nature of its rather large size and 'thickness' as you put it. Profile wise...it just will not flow from front to tail.

It doesn't have to. My liberty GT-B had a STI front lip by itself and that looked fine. Was the one thing missing from the front of the car. Same with the polo. It's just missing something up front. It has the black runners already. Full Side skirts will make it look to tall in the body. If you go side skirts and a rear skirts it will be to ricey. Same if it was just little strakes. It is a little on the thick side and I'd like something a Bit thinner but hers not much out there. On a polo without the wings and carbon bonnet it will set the front off. The Reiger rear diffuser is nice but pokes out a little bit to far of my tastes. But I like the style.

I already have the ABT CF rear diffuser so I think the front is what will complete it...if not I'll just purchase the GTI side sills

Those fog light covers...hmmm...sexy with a bit of work I could fit the foggies snug into them

All that carbon is nice, but that bumper lip is way too wide and 'fat' for my taste.. my current lip is a little more narrow and descrete

I also found those fog light covers but the little edge under the centre lower grill will remain plastic so it will still look like a half finished job

Once carbon hoods become more affordable I will get one though!

Hail, I've already spoken to the factory that produce these, they are a pretty poor knock-off of the maxton design front lip we looked at a while back.

The carbon is only the very outer layer, the rest is just filled with a layer of (from what I could gather) chopper-gunned fibreglass and bulk filler.

Also, I wouldn't be going with that distrubuter if their price is that high! I can get it far cheaper than that!

Would you be willing to be the middle man and we can negotiate a handlers fee for you? PM me if you can help / interested.

I have just shot an email to Garbino Japan about the GTI front lip, going to attack the $374 option spoiler as I have paint already and the booth to do my own prep / painting...but failing that I would love to have that aggressive one that you mentioned Gavs.

Also working on doing some CFD (Computational fluid dynamics) on this front lip and splitter...if those fins can force feed high pressure without creating negative vortices then I may get them...as it would add around 50kg of down-force per corner...however it may increase the pressure on the front tyres hence higher degradation (guesstimate).

Example with the Porsche (obviously completely different cars from top to bottom but its the only thing I can physically refer to):

[gavs]

Woah man! Canards though should not be used for downforce as they induce far too much drag. The main purpose of them is to get exactly the right vortex being generated down/off the side of the car, reason why I hate stuck-on canards on road cars

Glad my fins / canards are Porsche "works" parts bit of Mcguyver work should aid me in installing them on my car *sarcasm* so far without surprise its not worth using fins, wings, canards or louvres on the Polo / hatchbacks period...just did an initial run and around 60kg of drag is created from the rear boot lid at 100 km/h...my my hatch backs... (Known since the day of the dodo that hatch backs would never be a viable sports / performance car due to that massive rear void...known as the hatch!!!)
