Fitted GTi Rear To GTTDi (Pics)

**Vapor** · 02-05-2009,06:46 PM

Hi All
This thread is mainly for Swift-50 to view as i purchased a GTi rear valance from him this morning,
Anyway got home,
Didnt bother with any tutorials really as Swift kind of explained what to do,
So i got straight to it,

I know some of you will say it looks stupid as im aware i dont have the right exhaust, but one thing at a time due to money lol,
Plus if anyone has an exhaust for sale for a reasonable price im all ears lol.

Ok so here was my back home when i arrived on stands with clusters removed:

Next i removed the screws from the arches and bottom using torx T20 and T25 screwdrivers, a few were standard pozi drives to remove mud flaps, I unplugged the Reg Plate lights and removed whole rear valance:

Then i separated the two halves of the rear valance
and connected the new GTi bottom, simply pushing it together, easy

After putting all back together here is the finished result after a quick wash down

What you guys reckon?
Opinions please constructive criticsm welcome lol

Hey dude, thought i would be the first to comment as you got the valance off me and we had a good chat about each others cars and mods

.

Firstly you have done a brill job with the rear bumper valance swap. Well done

.

Secondly the rides heading for the desired direction and like you said money depending/allowing you will have your desired finish and YES it looks MINT bro.
I like it and it looks spot on.

Keep posting on here as you progress your conversion.

Iv been thinking of getting a bumper with a rear valance but im not sure how to go about the exhaust, can you get hold of just the back box or will i have to buy a whole exhaust system?

Cheers

To be honest im not that clued up with mechanics etc so would be worth checking as i would be suprised if you could fit the gti back section to other specs (could be wrong).

Off topic, I will be selling my GTI middle and rear exhaust sections soon as replacing mine with the Milltek ones. PM if you interested.

Ok cheers for that ill try find out if its possible to put the gti exhaust system on dont think i will be as it might be a different bore and different mounting but ill try find out if so i might be interested in buying.

cheers shaft-50

hey mossy you can get the twin oval back box from a gttdi 170 which is more or less a direct fit
