    It appears that painting your wheel arches adds so much weight to the car that the suspension hits the bottom stops.

    Buy a spare set from VW and get them painted and installed, if you dont like them put the stockies back on.

    I had to get 1 of mine replaced a few months ago when someone hit he side of me.

    I tried to have my wrapped when I got other parts of the car done, but wrap would not stick because of the type of plastic they are made from.

    Good idea. How much did it cost for you to replace one? Or was that covered by insurance?

    Spotted this somewhere on the web, not the greatest quality shot but you get the idea.

    I quite like it over the stock items

    Probably because it's just a digital render of how a true R could look, this version based off Mk7.5 cues.

    Still an improvement over the current RLine front bar.
