Is it the front splitter you need, that screws onto the underside of the front bumper?

If so I got mine from Colbournes VW, Part number PV1K08071109B9

It cost £48.06 including VAT.

Fun Golf: 2016 mk7 R DSG 3 door. Work Golf: 2015 mk7 1.4 TSI GT ACT 5 door.
Gone but not forgotten : mk2 Golf GTI 16v, mk4 Golf V6 4Motion, mk5 GTI Storm Developments Stage 1, mk5 GTI Revo Stage 1, BMW 330ci, Skoda Octavia VRS Revo Stage 2, BMW Z4 Sdrive35i.

....What's the "best" splitter is very much a matter of personal preference.

Its just such a shame (and a rip off  :grin:) that VW charge so much more for an edition 30 splitter over the VW one  :fighting:

Chris you can get  a PU replica of the ED30 for around the £110 mark. From what I have read it's an excellent copy.

Yep, apparently it's an exact copy of the ED 30 lip. From what I have read, seems to fit perfectly.

I am not a fan of the Vortex one as it has the twin strakes in the middle.

I like the Vortex one, i think it looks very ED30+ . Don't mind mine but if I decide to throw some more money away (on aesthetics for the front end) I will be getting the OSIR splitter and insert, just gives a better shape and look/balance to the front end IMHO. Cost too much for what it is though.
