Front Splitter
« on: October 12, 2012, 10:49:39 am »
I cracked my gti front splitter on a speedbump, and replaced it with a GT one as it was free. However it looks nowhere near as good so need to get another one.

Does anyone know where I can get a cheap front splitter? Doesn't have to be OEM. Can be a replica. The cheaper the better really! Thanks

Ebay! they go for around £20ish for an OEM GTI one. Just had a look and can't find any at the moment. You could try the "For Sale" section on here  :happy2:

The Votex one is more like the Edition 30 splitter, its priced slightly less than the Ed30 splitter

I am guessing the Votex and ED30 ones are just like a bigger version of the GTI one? I.E Stick out more, and sit lower?

I would say get a Votex one or Edition 30 one.
I got an ED 30 one, very expensive but looks very cool when partially colour coded as i have had done.

Yeah I quite like that one. I have looked on ebay and there isn't many choices on there. Are there any websites that do these?

Awesome do the ed 30 splitter and is about £290 (plus fitting and painting)

I got my votex from Germany and cost £250 (plus fitting and painting) and that works out cheaper than the uk dealers.

In comparison the standard gti one is probably only around £60

Who'd have thought a bit of plastic would cost that much?! Not too sure if I can spend that much on one! lol
