Difficult to remove now, the Indy put it on (per my instructions) with about 9 fasteners and double sided tape.
I don't see any lips for MK-I stock bumpers. Where did you get it?

Don't forget to clean out your radiators every once in a while!

Wow! How long was it between cleaning for you?

Did you clean between the condenser and radiators?

Yep there was a bunch of crap and dirt in there between the coils. The condenser is pretty easy to remove from the radiator (a few screws). You just have to be careful with the refrigeration lines.
The engine runs about 10 degrees cooler now

Yeah, it is not for a MK1 non aero. I just bought all lip spoilers for MK1 or MK2 and hoped that one would fit. It isn’t perfect, but looks good from 5 feet. After painting, should be all good. I think I got it from Delaware Porsche, about $170. I think I posted the p/n already, if not PM me and I can send it to you.

Nicely done, love the color and clean/fresh new rebuild parts. Can’t wait to do this!

Any idea if these will get sticky over time, or if the material is a new formulation?

I have no idea if these replacements are a new material. I’d almost bet that they will get sticky again. Mine were absolutely terrible so they warranted replacing. I plan on replacing my stock unit with the Continental at some point but I’ve got more important things to upgrade first.

Installed a K&N "Hot Air" intake I picked up a while back. Sounds awesome, and feels a bit more responsive (to my surprise)...I know, I know!

Put in a new air cleaner filter, pulled off the front bumper and cleaned out the leaves and dirt from the radiators and condensers. Pulled out and cleaned up the battery tray. Took out the headlights so I can start polishing them. I ended up ordering a new cabin filter
and radiator duct for the driver’s side. Hopefully I’ll get it all back together next weekend.






Also, does anyone know where this clear tube goes to? It has a black 90’ connector on the end but I cannot find where it connects.
