Hi Stotto. U DIY painted ur front valence? That really looks good. Was it a rough face plastic molding or flat before? I was really contemplating doing some spray painting myself on my ugly black plastic side moldings and front and rear bumpers. But really fear making a mess out of it and then paying more to get it fixed. Was it hard?? How long did it take u?

Thanks Octo. I'm pretty impressed with how it's come out too!

One thing, what do these mods stand for in your signature, I see them around, but haven't figured these ones out yet:
"APR R1 dv" and "N75J"

Thanks in advance.

...and another one I see around: "BMP" .. ?

BMP - black magic pearl
APR R1 is the revision 1 diverter valve (IIRC)
N75J is a boost control solenoid thingy ?

1. Thanks, I'll try and remember those.

2. haha, there you are, you found them pretty quick. Yeah, those visually smoothed out the whole back of the car way better than I had imagined. I've cleaned the area and bolted them on quite well, so I'll just have to see if any condensation appears now. If it does, I'll just have to cut them open and silicone them back up, but that'll let me get at that white writing, which is putting me off anyway. :-)

Lights look nice man gonna pick some up now most likely


First i should pick up the golf i just bought

You'll be right.

Yeah no probs, just wanted them gone (got mk3, 4 and 5 parts all around lol) and couldn't be bothered resealing them myself considering I wanted OEM ones anyway.

Look 10x better on yours

Thanks Schoona.

Marquee, get some pics up when you can. What did you buy?

Yeah schoona is right Apr r1 is a diverter valve and the n75J is a boost control solenoid the J revision is different to the stock one.

I feel like whoring.
