2011 Polo GTI, side skirt added..

Post by WildCars »

HI,

I've added the front spoiler to my GTI, it looks tops..

But i'm bothered with the vehicle from the side, it doesn't look too level, i seriously can't make up my mind, as some says it's good and some says i need to add it on to finish the car.. Can someone please give me some advice?

I like it just the way it is, maybe just add a drop and leave the skirts.

You going to have to do the sides now as well because of the added girth of the front spoiler, I personally wouldn't have done it but also you can really say cause the whole kit is not fitted, after a side skirt and drop is fitted it could just look awesome. You need the side skirts for sure

I retract my statement, after seeing the pics, it does look more complete with the skirts. :hi:

Can't do the rear..

It's got a GTI diffuser thing, the rear skirt is only for normal polos..

I concur. You cannot do the front spoiler and NOT do the side-skirts. It looks uneven and spoils the look you're going for. It's a no brainer....do it!

That pic just proves my point.

Have to do the side skirts and maybe some spacers as well to sort the stance when you drop it, will look nice n wide.
