Edition 30 splitter copy
« on: January 12, 2011, 11:31:32 am »
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with these as normally i would go genuine all day long but i fine the best part of £300 outrageous for something that will take a battering

This is the ebay link

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Golf-MK5-5-GTI-GT-Front-Bumper-Lip-Spoiler-Valance-/220701921830?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3362dc1226

Would be good to know as stuff like this isnt normally the best quality but at 1/3 of the price it could be a good alternative?

DO NOT TOUCH IT!!!
I tried my luck with them a couple of months ago and I have to say it is the worst flimsiest piece of crap I have ever seen!
The bottom lip is only connected at the sides, so flaps around, and would snap easily, the mould and fixings are poor, and there are 2 random vents next to the lower split section.
Sent it back an hour after I received it and got a full refund including postage back to Germany,
Save your money and get a genuine one mate.

Hi mate. I paid £240 including vat for mine from the dealers. I'd bite the bullet and get it from the dealers if I were you (I did!) then you know it's the real deal  :happy2:
