White end caps was the right choice, it will help make the wing look smaller and blend in more. How is this mammoth mounted? Do you have to drill the stock spoiler?

its not that big....the factory side wings on the glass get replaced with the Oettinger ones, the main wing is glued to the tops of those and the center post is glued to the factory wing with end caps screwed in

I love the fit of the stock NA seats, but prefer the immediacy of manual adjustment in my mkIV GTI, like these.
Also, a shame the stock perforated leather seats don't ventilate. This summer I was really seeing the value in that. These are a big upgrade in the looks department! From a Scirocco R, or Golf R?

Actually, I like it. It looks like the only rear spoiler capable of generating downforce, other than the real GTI TCR spoiler (which requires a different hatch) and R Theory's racing wing kit. Where'd you buy it?
Gah! Don't be surprised if I end up getting the same one. 😒

I don't like the rear spoilers that go up at an angle (I like more straight back) so this one, the iSweep, and the carbon fiber ECS are on my high list.

How difficult was re-pinning of those seats? Curious how close the two seats were, might have missed it but I'm guessing they retain heated function? Looks like they're manual adjustment.

Just reuse your original harness, attach seat position sensors to the inner rails, install a new passenger base heater/POD pad and thats it.

Loving the build man! I feel pretty confident on buying Wiechers roll bar now.
In terms of install, is it pretty easy?
And how much of a difference did it make in terms of stiffening and handling?

Install is fairly easy and if you have a 4dr it's a breeze to slide the main bar in by yourself 2dr seats gotta come out

It defiantly stiffened my chassis up I'm sure if it attached at the rear inner wheel wells it would stiffen even more, remember this Wiechers Clubsport version is mainly meant to attach belts which I have the belt bars that will be welded in

Handling it's hard to pinpoint what it has contributed since I've changed R compound tires and bump/rebound settings quite a bit since installing

Now I might sell it only because I want the main hoop with cross bars and or might get one of Wiechers version B which is a half cage

Below the black cage is Wiechers and the red gage I believe is a Cardiff Motorsport

finally got my wing back did a quick test fit without the side extensions gotta remove the factory ones first, glad I went with this Oettinger TCR wing reminds me a lot like the A45 GLA45 AMG wing.
