New look for my TT (need help for Vortex front spoiler fitment)
Plagiarism...guilty as charged. Ever since I saw Sean's (HoTTub) TT pics from TT east, I totally fell in love with the vortex plus Projektzwo front. They really don't fit too well actually. Took a lot of triming and drilling to actually make them stay on the car. In the end, its all worth it. I love how it looks!

Got some new spacers too. 10mm fronts and 15mm rears.

Also got a Projektzwo roof spoiler and 3.2 valence.

Well poor picture but last but not least got Raffilized. It feels so much better than the stock ****! I guess the added weight makes shifting much more crisp. The picture don't do any justice...this **** looks so good and blends in with the interior so well. Thanks Raffi! Am I the first RHD TT that got Raffilized?

OK, here comes the problem. Maybe because I mated the Projektzwo to the Vortex front so it doesn't fit too well. You can see the obvious gap here which no sort of glue can do the job. So I'm wondering if I'm the only one with Vortex front that ran into this problem?

Now I'm thinking putting a tiny screw here on the side to make it stick. What do you think?

Don't use a screw. I had a similar problem with the Audi chin spolier...
Get some good adhesive. I used a product called "goop" for Marine applications.
it's a gel-like clear glue.
Use a toothpick or small piece of wood to coat the inside egde on your last pic.
Then use some of that 3M 'blue' tape, start from the way underside of the front lip, and stretech the tape way onto the top of the grill.
Do this a few times, and this edge will snug right up to the other part.
You will hafta wait 24 hrs for it to hold, but it will stay put.
