I'm hunting all over the web for some Bumpers for sale.
Otherwise I was planning to shape some up and make carbon skins.
But a real set would be ideal. even damaged ones,

Welcome! Nice project you have there!

Are you planning on a body-conversion only or are there also going to be some engine/drivetrain mods?

Where did you find these fenders?

I had a friend in London bid and win the rear bumper.
So now It's just the front one to locate and I should have a Rallye to build.

GTI's

26-04-2010, 11:04

I've had 2 black also too... see the mk2 owners thread.
I've sold the jetta so it's just the Rallye replica and the MK1.
never selling that!

I think Alberto will have a front bumper for sale....and I think TNT is happy to send it.....:D

Nice Jetta,and nice combination with the ATS rims :thumbup:

And very nice job you did with the ''Rallye project'' also :thumbup:

Yes it all led back to ebay but the timing was great!
I hadn't seen a bumper on ebay for 12 months and then 4 appeared!

I've been driving the Rallye around for 2 months now.
It's awesome! I'm only running a stock AGU with a chipped ECU
It has plenty of power for a daily.
Thanks to all those who helped!

nice airbox, did you make it yourself?

VeeDubber

24-07-2011, 12:37

Mk1 looks very nice aswell! What kind of BHP does the engine in the Rallye give you? Or hasn't it seen a dyno yet?

GTI's

30-07-2011, 21:16

The rallye engine is a stock AGU with a superchip, downpipe and fmic
I haven't dyno'd but around the 180 mark???
The airbox in the mk1 was a piece of foam I pushed over the itb's cut out the holes and then I used cardboard tube to make the shape. wrapped in sign vinyl and then I just fiberglass'd over all of that and soaked it in water and picked out the card and foam;
pretty rough as It was all done in a hurry. I'm going to make a gucci carbon version next.
