NVD now has an "official" body shop

Re: NVD now has an "official" body shop

I'm not exactly sure how the Pwo one goes on, but I think it's the same as Ozzies Reiger valence that just sorta slides in like you mentioned. What we did for that was garbage the glue alltogether and bolt the valence throught the clips on the inside at every third clip....if that makes any sense

I don't care how you get the rieger rear on, but I plan on coming over to your house, eat some cookies and watch tv while you put my rieger valence on. Thanks again, lemme know when its good for you.

actually this pzwo rear doesn't really clip it has the clips but they aren't as agro as the OEM rear has so i think it just slides in then i'ma hafta use the pzwo glue stuff or double tape and each side gets a screw in the wheel well.. looks simple enough to do.. i will probably glue it on tho for toughness but i have to pick up some masking tape..

when i used the glue on my front last summer i wasn't thinking and the glue got all over the place.. it took me forever to pick the 'showing' glue off the pieces.. lol now i'll tape it and not worry about it

WOW thanks again derick.. after everything 409 inc GST.. i was expecting like 450+ parts look great gonna wash my car this week and install the rear valence

No problem Ryan, glad everything worked out
BTW how well did the color on the sideskirts match up in the sunlight?? No problems I hope.

Also, when I was there today Fraser mentioned that when you install the rear valence, you should use a blow dryer to warm it up first and help it "clip" into place. Then right afterwards, use ice packs to lock it in.

That's also a great deal you got! When I picked up Ozzies Jetta today, they charged me $440 inc GST for reparing the rear bumper, painting and clearcoating it, remounting the sideskirts, painting the 4mo valence, and painting the hood filler thingy!!!

Re: NVD now has an "official" body shop

I might have to take you up on that offer Derick for the garage, I'm sure you have some expertise installing Rieger stuff now so you'll be a whiz

Re: NVD now has an "official" body shop

AWESOME derick!! thanks so much dude.. i guess i'll pick them up on monday.. i'm out of town this weekend so.. hey hows that rear look? i can't wait to see this stuff

The rear looks great. I didn't look at it close up though cuz it was still in the paint booth. I wasn't there when you guys talked about how you wanted the hole cut, but from what I could tell, it looked great.

Edit: Your parts are done, and so is Ozzies car (kinda cool looking into the paint booth and seeing Pwo and Reiger stuff together ). But as usual, they're insisting they dry/cure it before we can pick it up. So, I'll be picking up on Monday as well.

Re: NVD now has an "official" body shop

Just dropped my rieger stuff off at Rudy's, they'll be able to fix it all and they didnt even charge me an arm and a leg. Their shop rate is amazingly low! Good work Derrick, I'll be using these guys for many years to come.

ps. Anyone have a garage to install this in, and expertise in how to install it?

Nice Simon! Good to hear they set you up well. They phoned me this afternoon about my pieces and mentioned you dropped by. I told them to make sure they give yours and Ryans car some extra love for WoW
If you want, you can install it in my garage (well lit and kinda heated).

Ryan - I saw your skirts and valence all done today. They look sweet. Shiny, shiny bling, bling I took your grill and checked for color matching and it looks perfect.
