Looks fantastic how can you not like a bit of carbon on your car .The mk1 still looks a modern shape car and the carbon spoiler looks like a factory part another great informative film for us enthusiastic owners

Thanks Paul appreciate that! It really adds something to the rear end and I know right. Love a bit of carbon

That carbon 😍 I never realised the V6 spoiler was a one piece, or that the after market ones don't cover the whole rear. Carbon is 100% the right choice!

Looks great and it's definitely on the list for stuff to do on my TT. I'd take the original look spoiler and respray it matte/satin black to match honeycomb "diffuser" (also on the list) and the other plastics on the car. This video has helped a bunch as I was hesitant how an aftermarket spoiler would work out (fitment and all), but the result looks great 👍

Has to be the best looking upgrade. Im betting it will be a major upgrade changing lanes on the autobahn, and not enough drag driving at road speeds, to cause inefficiency. love it!

Best way I round was to get a rachet strap and loop it long ways I’m between the rear two boot hinges to the spoiler and back. Held it on while it was setting.

Great stuff, done it a couple of times, always the used the cheaper Ebay ones, i used tiger seal and taped it like you did, however I masked up the boot where the spoiler met the boot, then used cloth and some white spirit to get a nice clean joint / seal to the boot lid.

@TheParrottBros Жыл бұрын

Great technique. As long as the surfaces have been prepped then your set for good adhesion, tiger seal is some tough stuff!!

Hi Dom, another great video. I've had my trusty V6 since around 2004, and I think the spoiler lip extension in carbon looks awesome and better than the factory one, not that I intend to change mine though! Great stuff and glad to see you're settling in to the new workshop and not crawling around outside in all weathers. Dom, or anyone out there got a V6 they've dropped, I need a recommendation as to dampers and springs to get, I'm looking to drop the ride height by say an inch or so, but still keep most or all of the factory comfort (???) set up. I need to declare mods to insurance company to keep myself right as well! Cheers fellow TT'rs

I had the Maxton Design one a few years ago. It showed up prime but the fitment was so bad I threw it out since Maxton has a no return policy on their GFP parts. The carbon one seems to fit nicely. Maybe I'll give it a go!

@TheParrottBros Жыл бұрын

Ooo no thats a shame, i did hear some people say that the maxton one needed some work to make fit 100% sad to hear as you think they would get it pretty good from the start, i think everyone who has fitted the carbon one has been pleased with it

I bought a QS front grill which is already glossy from factory but I think it’s just glossy plastic. Do you know if the QS rear diffuser is fully glossy also? That way I’ll probably go for a glossy black spoiler extension

@TheParrottBros Жыл бұрын

Yeah all qs plastic trims are painted in a paint called phantom black, its a metallic colour :)

amazing video, could the 3M tape damage the car paint if removed?

@TheParrottBros Жыл бұрын

If the paint isnt in great condition in the first place yes but then so would tigerseal or other kinds of bonding glues used instead. atleast tape you can heat or use solvents to remove
