sorry mc forgive me but im going to ask a really noob question here,
I know nothing about splitters but my gti has that lip on the front,,, how does it differ from the one in the pic,,, is mine standard ? and why is it called a splitter anyway,,, is it because it splits the air ?
see what I mean

I'm pretty sure if you look underneath the front of the car you can see where it detaches, then take it off and get it wrapped.

And yes it splits the air, hence the name splitter. I'm no expert but I'm sure someone could talk you through getting the splitter bit off and doing whatever you plan with it Scott

[/quote]thanks andy, I think im getting a better understanding of it now, correct me if I am wrong
this is a picture of an ed30 splitter


and this is a picture of the factory gti splitter

have I got that right ?????
didn't really want to put a picture of my car next to that other lovely beast of a car but ah well 
I now see the difference in the splitters, other one looks way better.
can I just fit one onto my car and if so any ideas if it is something I can do myself or where to get one ?
cheers

@Scott.

Grenners car was an Edition30.

As mentioned, best to take it off or at least lift the front of the car up so you (or the person wrapping it) are not laying on the ground/floor, just makes it awkward. Your splitter (GTI) is textured so IMO would need prepping before wrapping at it tends not to adhere to rough surfaces. Painted surfaces are best.

No worries Scott, the ED30s splitter is different from the GTI version yes.

"I think" you may be able to transfer the lower part onto a GTI front bumper................best to search it using the function on here and see if I'm right or wrong, I'd say it's a 50/50

[/quote]hmmm, now I see both cars side by side it looks like it would take a lot more than a new splitter
looks like splitter, new side skirts, new skirt for its butt 
emmmm, car then lowered and lastly everything colour coded 
would you agree on that, guess I cant just throw the new splitter on by the looks of it
