Sorry to say that is a splitter for a non-GTI type bumper, i.e., an early 2.0 TDI or a 1.4 S type bumper. I saw it as soon as it came on ebay and was about to buy it but looked at the part on ETKA which confirmed the above.

Also the literature pics on the auction show it on a non sports bumper, for the price it is worth trying to mod it to fit  :happy2:

I would agree with everything you said and I was thinking exactly the same till I actually looked at the shape of it and I bought my ed30 splitter that on my car now with only one picture and it was just a bottom of it and it was stendin up. Paid £40 delivered and when it arrived it was a genuine Vw part and this looks the same. The one that shown on the picture on the on ebay on the documents it's not the same to one they actually selling as the shape is absolutely different.

I hope they have listed it wrongly, I got a similar deal with my old car when they listed a primed Jetta bumper (that was actually a GTI bumper) for next to nothing  :happy2:

This what shown on ebay

But what about jetta votex front splitter? Same part number?
Put this way, the splitter looks nothing like on paper not in a slight way.

I went for a drive today....and got as far as the end of the drive. I had to shovel off the drive just so I could return it back into the garage.  :drinking:




Damn i wish we had snow!
It hasnt snowed here since 2012 xmas!!
We usually get a smaller amount than this here in NW Oregon, valley floor, each year....usually no more than 4 or 5 inches when it snows. This was just over 8"....in Dec 2008 we got 24"....and then over 1/2" of freezing rain on top of that. That was a mess!

I finally got to drive the car on a dryish road. I've concluded that my brakes feel pretty rubbish. I think i need an upgrade of pads, or disk & pads.

Bought this yesterday. Got this today without 100% knowing what it was. Turned out a brand new votex splitter. Best £54 ever spend.

First time I was glad to have winter boots on today, as almost out of nowhere the heavens decided it was going to dump a load of snow, sleet, gales etc. on the dual carrigeway... no gritters had been out... much fun. :driver:
