ooh mate  :sad:

i've delevoped my own splitter and made it uber strong in case this happens to me but so far it's only available for the .:R32, will be for the GTI in time

you got any pics yet? i may be interested, plus i could probs make your R one fit my bumper.


If you need any games consoles or games, accessories, etc etc, PM me for my best price,

OMG!! :surprised: 4mph and it ended up like that :scared:

Hope you get something a little different and special Joe :happy2:

@ VC The front splitters are designed to be fairly weak, so they don't damage the top bumper. Making it stronger will just create more collateral damage in a collision won't it? :confused:

Joe your car is as low as it could go, i cant see the point in buying the same style its to low for everyday driving. And yours was already popping off at the arch connection due to previous hits, like hurdy says any stronger and you would be getting damage elswhere.
the Osir V3 is a sexy mo of a splitter  :smiley:

i've got it so it's designed to flex when needed and break if need be, that's the theory
