perfect for winter weather and the car still looks finished off since it has a lip attached.

Are you goint to put your new wheels on in the snow?

DSV

Are you goint to put your new wheels on in the snow?

No. I am putting the snow tires on my current wheels (the TSWs) and swapping the Kumho tires onto the new wheels.

Damn, that is one small lip, now go show vortex your car when that thing hits. You will be so low! Looks good, too bad you have license plate holes in the bumper :(

I'm only using that lip for winter though. As soon as spring hits I'll be sporting a Vento lip or a Vento VR6 lip. As for the bumper holes, it already had a couple from the previous owner's plates, so it's not a big deal. Plus, I can always cover them all up with a europlate if I'm attending a show. :tu:

what are the differences between all 3 lips? mainly the vento and CL.

DSV

what are the differences between all 3 lips? mainly the vento and CL.

I'm glad you asked. :D

The CL lip is smaller than anything we have in the US.
The regular Vento lip is comparable to the stock NA lip, but slightly deeper. It only fits Vento bumpers.
The Vento VR6 lip is comparable to the Euro VR6 lip that everyone bolts on to their cars, but again, only fits Vento bumpers.

Great choice Mike!

Can't wait to see then on your car this spring :)

Hmmm, I wonder how the Vento lip would fit my car, it definitely has a cooler name....

Thanks. If we get a day where all the snow melts and the roads are clean, I may throw them on for a bit just to snap a few pictures. :D

Hmmm, I wonder how the Vento lip would fit my car, it definitely has a cooler name....

I don't know. The Vento bumper is shaped differently than the regular US Jetta bumper, so it will probably fit your bumper differently. Also, you won't find the regular Vento lip for cheap. They go for around $100 or more.

SDKmann

12-12-2007, 03:32 PM

Ok then never mind..... It would look better on your car anyways.

Those will look excellent on your car. Hopefully the additional bolt pattern holes wont be too noticable. Did they give you caps or anything?

I was a little concerned about the multi-lug look, but I think they'll look great on the car. They did send me centercaps, but I'd like to find something besides the Sportmax stickers to put on the inside.

12-15-2007, 08:04 PM

You should have some kind of PKG stickers made up and put those on the center caps. :tu:

You Bastard, getting REAL e-codes. They have Hella on 'em? either way, NICE!

These aren't Hellas. They have DJ AUTO stamped on em and are made specifically for in.pro.

Nice Mike! Don't you just want to put all the nice stuff on right away?!?!

I do. Today I was thinking about getting my summer tires mounted on the new wheels since all of our snow has melted.....

They arrived !! :hungry: :hungry:

I think I still need to find an adapter harness for the wiring, not sure.

Awesome... I love those smoked e-codes.

Thanks, John. I can't believe all the things that have happened with it in the 13 months since I've owned it.

Stef and I were driving the car tonight and had to park it at several different places. Every time I walk up to the car I like the wheels more and more.

I think the front brakes are one of my favorite mods right now. :tu:

Holy crap Mike, that looks amazing. I wasnt sure how the roof rack was gonna look in the end but the rims make it work. Absolutely stunning MKIII. My only suggestions would be to get cup mirrors for it and maybe a bigger lip. The skinny lip worked well with your old rims but I think a bigger lip would look better with the rims you have now. I really wish I had a MKIII right now.

Thanks man. I appreciate the comments. A deeper lip will be coming in the spring. I've only got this skinny lip on there right now because its the one that came with my Euro bumper. The VR6 lip that I had on before won't fit this Vento bumper.

Some chops I did this morning:

The base chop (Thule 555 fairing, smoked e-code headlights, Vento rear bumper, Vento VR6 front lip):

Love the base chop, like everything else :D and I always like new wheels especially some nice five spokes with a big dish :tu:

Tony!

01-06-2008, 10:08 AM

Love the wheels. Badgeless grill chop looks hot. The roof rack you've got with the thule fairing looks nice - but with any cargo rack it loses the subtile in my opinion... but I like your directions here.

OrangeDUB

01-06-2008, 11:43 AM

Yeah your rack the way it is now looks great... it brings out the lip of the wheels more I think. I wouldn't make the rack too much bigger either.

SDKmann

01-06-2008, 12:41 PM

I like the Votex rack, grill and LOVE the type As. But although the Borbets are some of my favorite wheels I think I like yours a lot better on your car.

Wow!

Looks great, Mike!

I love the contrast with the black and grey. Any plans for spacers at all? It looks like you have a bit more room back there from the pics - not sure though.

Smoked e-codes, badgeless grill and maybe an eyelid? would look SICK. ;) Keep it up man!

Thanks! I'd been thinking about an eyelid spoiler as well....

Spacers might come into play. The rears do have a bit of space left to go.

Doubt it. I'm going to ride out this nice weather for as long as I can though. I couldn't stand seeing the wheels sit in boxes in my basement and having the tires rolling around in my trunk.
