Joes GTI has the  same one and he repairs it once a month.  :signLOL:

Other options OSIR, and Votex. the Votex one is OEM and in my opinion looks the best.  :happy2:

Its OEM so should be available from VW dealers. Just be careful of the thousands of cheap copies made in the USA.  :happy2:

I reckon the oem Ed30/Votex one would be the most practical. But cosmetically, wouldn't you then need to colour code your side valances?

Coincidentally I've today started drafting a review of the OSIR front splitter and including comparisons. It'll probably get posted tomorrow.

I was thinking earlier how well your VWR splitter suits your car, Martin.

....Why, Mike? It deffo suits your car. Is it impractical (often getting damaged)?

Never gets caught, just now and again feel it's a little ott, I do think the front would look high without it though.
Thought about attempting to carbon wrap it.

Gill where you based, I've got a splitter under the stairs (brand new lcr jobbie)
