Other parts arrived, front foglight covers
Hey Dude, you know the part number for the fog light covers? im missing the whole section there.
Also is the last picture there the middle section of where the foglights should be? also got part number if it is??
thanks
the last pic is the center grill, one and second pics are the left and right fog-lights cover (fog-light is supposed to go where is the grill in the 2nd pic). I'll remove mine and report you the part number stamped on it later ;D
Update, painted and installed the 14" very light OZ wheels. I also had to cut the ring on the gear axle because it touched near the frame. Anyway the lighter wheels did a nice difference in engine performance, now you can really feel a nice difference in the way it accelerates. Top speed went from 163 km/h to the gauge (158 with gps) to 173 km/h to the gauge (maybe a bit for the lighter wheels and a bit for the better CX with the weitec kit).
Now I'm looking for front ARB and 1.8 16v engine from Golf GTI Mk2 ;D

LOL when I installed the bumper it actually jump out of guides every often. Then I put 3 zip ties on each side on existing holes and since then is just fine
Update: just want to advise you guys to NEVER buy Weitec because they're the worst thing you can ever buy to your car, better to spend money for some stupid fast&furious graphyc, just don't buy Weitec (Kw brand) because they're the sh*t
Just for laugh guys
June 2010: I buy Weitec shocks and springs.
July 2010: One of the shocks makes a lot of noise, is just impossible to drive the car. I call and they told me to call after holidays to send it back.
August 2010: Still close
September 2010: Last days of the month they finally open and they tell me to send it back. Only thing I could do was to fit the 60mm springs on my stock shock that was totally shot plus my bump stop were cutted so you can imagine how dangerous was to drive in this way.
October 2010: Now that I don't have the front right shock making noise I can find that also the other one make a lot of noise!.
November 2010: Remove also the other Weitec shock and install anoter stock shot one with 60mm springs
Dicember 2010: No news
January 2011: At the end of the monts after 3 months that I'm driving with **** suspensions I call them back and start to make a lot of stories. After a week they send finally back somethign: ONE SHOCK! Weitec 61W80001. Call back, long stories bla bla bla they say the will send the second one
February 2011: Today the second one arrives and....It's now a KW!! The equivalent of Weitec 61W80001: Kw 61K80001. Ok nice but:
1) The two ALKO SPORT product codes are different: 61280201 and 61280001
2) The two shocks have the two stems of two different lenghts!
3) The two shocks have also two different hardness, the kw is soft like my shot stock shocks while the Weitec is pretty hard. The KW is also noisy as hell!
4) Some other differences you can see in pics
At this point I contact them again and say them FU** and I'll order some Bilstein B8 from ebay
END OF THE STORY
WEITEC AND KW just sucks, worst worst and worst thing I've ever seen in my life. Chinese coilovers were of a lot better quality!

Sorry to hear that, sounds like they really messed you about!
Will they not take them back for a refund? Or demand compensation!

And finally they sent me two new weitec and I installed them. Now the car is driveable again and it also lower another 1-2 inch or front (don't know why but stock shocks with weitec springs made the car higher than with shorter shocks). Now that the front is again low, the rear start to oversteer again LOL. Anyway next mods:
Front 20mm ARB
Front 256mm ventilated rotors
and maybe
Rear rotors conversion
Rear ARB
and 12mm or 15mm rear wheel spacers ;D

damn I finally found why I could feel air in car while driving, my front windshield is almost totally unglued! I can just lift it pushing from inside! how the hell this happened LOL
you can fit 280s under 14" wheels?
rear ARB is more important then front
rear disk is ALOT of hassle!
looks good tho dude!
