As title.
ive done a bit of searching around etc but im new to sciroccos so i thought id pipe up and ask here. apologies if its been answered on here before
is the lower front panel of a storm interchangable between the lower front panel of say a gls?
im on the lookout for my first mk1 rocco and im not a fan of the storms distinctive "chin" lol
but if one were to pop up in my price range i couldnt say no so im hoping i can give it a face lift :p
also is there anything else i should know about if i was making a storm erm... less stormy?
thanks in advance

Re: storm lower front panel
The front panels are the same - the Storm has an add-on fiberglass (?) spoiler.
Other models came with a two piece plastic "duckbill" spoiler.
Very early models came with a metal spoiler as part of the front panel.

Re: storm lower front panel
If you take off a Storm spoiler, you will have a number of holes visible from the fixing screws, the most noticeable of which are the ones just in front of the front wheel arch.

Re: storm lower front panel
Can you still get the front spoiler for the GLS? I thought they were like hens teeth?

Re: storm lower front panel
Sorry to hijack the thread. I have removed the fibreglass spoiler from my Storm and have purchaed a genuine Mk1 Golf small spoiler and also a Gti duck bill type. Neither of the holes in these spoilers seem to line up with the holes in the front valance. Do I have the wrong parts or will I have to drill new holes in the metal panel? The spoilers look a bit short is this right?
