My car is going in for the bumperette delete soon, and the body shop has asked that I supply the parts.

So, aside from the longer euro style side marker lights, and the Turbo S scoop ducts, are there any other parts needed?

Also, any recommends on current best prices for these parts? I see Gert at Carnewal has the Turbo S ducts with LEDs included for $295Euro, which is abut $332 US. Gert is great, but I wonder if there is US supplier?

Pelican has the Euro style longer side marker lights for $120 each for both L and R, so about $250 with tax for both.

Can these prices be beat? And do I need any additional parts? Any and all info on this would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

 

On April 26 I ordered a pair of S ducts with Hella LED positioning lights from http://www.Type911.co.uk. Pricing was 100 GBP plus 15 GBP for FedEx shipping. They were delivered in less than a week for a price of $168 (exchange rate then was $1.46). I'm not aware of a domestic source for these items.

I didn't do the bumperette delete so I can't advise you about costs for the longer Euro side markers.

The scoops have now been painted but not installed. I plan to have these lights "always on" and to source connector plugs from VW so no wiring needs to be cut. Info about the connectors was covered in one of the threads about this mod. I covered each plastic lens with Expel. I also lightly sanded the ridges inside the light base. Otherwise, it was extremely difficult to remove the lens from the base once snapped together.

 

Hey thanks for that info....

Still wondering if aside from the longer euro style side marker lights and the Turbo S scoop ducts, are there any other parts needed for the bumperette delete on a C4S....

 

You don't NEED the ducts. Stock fog lights same on both.

I vote for new fog lights.

 

...And you dont NEED new fogs if you choose to go that route. There is a DIY to recon existing fogs, that make dingy fogs look 100% better. New OEM fogs are expensive!

The UK turbo S ducts are a great buy and great quality!

 

Suncoast has the longer signals for $200 plus shipping. Just installed mine over the weekend.

 

I'm doing a Turbo Bumper conversion as we speak along with the Turbo S ducts. You don't need anything else beyond the longer lenses and the ducts.

I got both the lenses and ducts from Carnewal and they are very high quality. I had not purchased car parts from overseas before and FedEx contacted me and told me I needed to fill out a USDOT HS7 Declaration form to pre-clear the shipment for entry into the US. The form is below. This was back in March 2015 and I'm assuming you'd also need to submit this? If you still need it, fill the form out, check Box 2A and return it to FedEx and you'll be good to go.

 

Thanks for all the info guys...

FYI after some more research, FVD sells their version of the Turbo S scoop ducts for $221 for BOTH pair; Carnewal is $100 more, and FVD sells the clear longer side lenses for $79 for BOTH pair. Suncoast sells the exact pair for $200, and says they're made by FVD on Suncoast's web page!

So, doesn't make much sense to buy from Carnewal and Pelican/Suncoast, as FVD sells the all parts for nearly half the price!

Thanks for all the help guys

 

I have the FVD ducts on mine and I can tell you that the material, fit and finish are top notch and the lamp even comes equipped with a plug in connector!

 

The turbo s ducts you found are $200 each right?

 

Love this mod.

 

No, BOTH!

Doh! Guess I should have checked FVD's website before ordering mine from Suncoast...

The only thing I don't love about the FVD ducts is they're equipped with parking lamps and not LED's. Probably doesn't make much difference, in all honesty. If you've got HID lighting (an upgrade that should have already been taken care of before considering ducts), the LED's won't bring much value to the party.

 

The FVD duct lamps are designed to be plugged into the Foglamp wiring harness and what I did was replace the bulb with a LED 16 smd FESTOON bulb...

 

VA993Dreamer,

Where did you buy your Turbo bumper conversion? I was wondering who had the best prices right now.

Thanks!


Goofballdeluxe,

I bought my turbo s ducts from type911shopuk. Was $180 shipped if I recall. You need to make your own plug though.
