I Want to fit this VW Golf front splitter:







It adds an extra 5 - 10 BHP , well in my imagination anyway!...



I'm Thinking self - tapping screws and enough waxoyl to sink a small battleship behind tha front valance

Also its slightly larger than i need so how can i cut it a wee bit less wide then stick it back together then onto the car, I seen someone on here do it before and thought it looked good, cant rem who it was though!!, So if anyone has any idea's about fitting it leave me comments / post reply greatly appreciated! (Serious ones anyway). Thanks

I have one on my white car froma mk2 golf. That mk3 one you have will be a pain to fit because the corners are too round for the 340. You can cut a V ot of the top on the corner to be able to bend it sharply. To shorten it simply cut the section out of the middle and mount it on the car in 2 pieces.

Good one, thanks for the advice adam!

Hi mate.
Putting it on as a two piece sounds like the way to go or
you try getting a 360 three piece.
Cheers Mark.

I did'nt know that a 360 has a 3 piece splitter, might have been easier way to go if i had known. Anyway youre comments were all helpful. And this is what it looks like now...



















I like the end result!, I Think a square front numberplate could hide the join quite well (which isnt quite central), I want cibies and superlites, lowered, reclining buckets and heart transplant for my wonderful daily driver, but this will take time, i know, (If i ever get to that point) so in the meantime any suggestions on cheap easy mods welcome. I'm in 2 minds about the benefits of having a black bonnett, really cant be bothered constantly waxing, t-cutin the red one, as its like fighting a losing battle really!.
Thanks again for your comments!!!!!!! all comments considered!!!, Good or bad!!!. thanx!!!!!

Hi Dub.
I have a nice set of 480 alloys with exellent tyres going cheap if you want them.
I have aslo got a VDO rev counter plus replacement clock if you want cheap.
I can fit the rev counter and clock to your car at no extra expence.
Cheers Mark.

[dubweiser666]

MCHUDD, you are a complete legend!, .....tell me a wee bit more about them wheels!

[MCHUDD]

Hi mate.
There is a picture of the wheels on the car in the ITS YOUR TURN TO SPEAK section under SteveP who kindly posted them for me
a while back.I will try and give you a ring tomorow.
Cheers Mark.

[dubweiser666]

MCHUDD fitted a rev counter!!!!!, I seen him do it!!!, he's a volvo legend!!!



Works a treat!!!!



Also Clock in Centre Console!!!!, next to the all important cigarette lighter and ashtray (noticeably absent from all new cars) (lighter and ashtray, that is....) how inconvienient if youre a smoker!!!



Also new wheels 14's



Well new to me anyway!









Could maybe start thinking about doin something now about the offensive ride height, factory stance, hideous highness, and wollowy ride!!!

















Thanks for all your help MCHUDD!, A true fan of 300 series the best car ever made!!!!!. (Probably)

[volvosneverdie]

looks a LOT better on those 400 14s dude.
Its looking twice the car you took on now its on tidy wheels, with a front splitter, rear spoiler man.
you must be pretty happy with it by now.

[dubweiser666]

Yes its much better than the car i first drove home to norn iron from the big smoke (mainland england) its starting to get noticed quite a bit too, glance over many a time to find an auld boy in the car nex 2 me looking at my car and sayin to his wife!!! " I Used to have a 340 back in the day y' know". well thats wat i like to imagine he's saying. Theyre probably all saying " Hasnt that fella heard of the government scrappage scheme!!"

Its got tons of character this car, and is 80's-tastic........just like me!!!!

Ive really enjoyed ownership of this car so far, its been a really fun car to own, and long may it continue to last..

That car's come a long way in a short time - nice one.

[MCHUDD]

Hi Dub.
What about a GLT steering wheel. CHEAP.
The car is looking better every time.
If you keep this up,i might even want to buy it.
Better not go there.The wife would make me move out to the shed.
Cheers Mark.
