Re: Here's My Black Scirocco
Looks smart, I made a T5 grill last year and it was a right pain of a job.
RE the spoiler, I've got one of those, was a different seller but I imagine they come from the same factory. I was a bit apprehensive at first with the fitting as its from China, but once it arrive the fitting was pretty much spot on thankfully!
They come with a tiny roll of double sided tape, I would recommend buying more as they don't supply enough. There is small also a gap between the spoiler and roof, I ran a line of silicone adhesive around the front edge to seal it together and smooth the gap (also stops water getting underneath it):

Re: Here's My Black Scirocco
The red trim is just vinyl tape, I got mine from Amazon but I think there is an eBay one which is better. Just clean the grill thoroughly or it will come off in the rain and wind. I used an alcoholic wipe and it was on for about a year all through winter. It's only not there now as I have a different grill fittedlgovil1986 wrote:Got to ask, the red trim on the front. Where do you get this from? is this just vynl or is there a specific part?

Re: Here's My Black Scirocco
I quite enjoyed the challenge of making it haha. I used to build wee model aeroplanes and that so I was confident with my handsbenny1703 wrote:Looks smart, I made a T5 grill last year and it was a right pain of a job.

That link was just a quick one to the extension, I haven't decided what I'm doing with the back yet. I will probably just get one of these as they seem easiest to fit. Have you got a link to the one you got ? You can mail me if you'd prefer. I take it they all come in carbon, I'll have to get mine painted.

You can get either get them in primer:

or carbon (this was the seller I used):
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Carbon-Fiber- ... 3cf1f849e5
If you want to get it colour coded then the primer one would be the best bet
cant comment on the build/fitment of the primer one though, I would like to think it would be ok and they used the same mould

Not something you can buy, as they rarely come up for sale on this forum.Zanic L3 wrote:http://i66.tinypic.com/2a7sghk.jpg

You can probably find all the parts needed on ebay and build one!
