eBay splitters?
« on: October 23, 2013, 09:46:18 pm »
Anyone got one of these eBay splitters? The ED30/Votex style ones?
Just wondering how they fit, and if anyone has any pictures?

I am also looking for a new splitter but struggling to find any! Is ebay the best place to pick one up or am I better waiting it out until one comes up on here?

How about this one? Feedback seems okay.. I just can't justify spending £250 on an unpainted splitter which will be likely hammered against the floor a few times :scared:

Its fibre glass and not ABS plastic, a lot less malluable and durable but for that price you may as well, its cheap as chips.  :happy2:

Yeah, it's clear the VW one will last longer haha..
But the only thing I'm worried about is that I might be forking out £100 for something that won't even fit on :signLOL:

I'm also watching that one, but it's slightly more expensive, and takes longer for delivery.
Obviously if anyone knows that one fits okay then it's worth the wait though! :party:

How about:

http://bit.ly/WVivQX


IMHO I'd avoid it AND the other one linked in this thread.

As with the other one linked, its fibre glass so could have issues. If it doesn't fit, it's next to impossible to make fit.

Below is a part of the advert you've linked, pretty much tells you it won't fit  :laugh:.........


All parts are unpainted. They must be carefully checked and prepared prior to paint and installation.
Buyers by purchasing accept that some items may require adaptations to enable a perfect fit. We strongly advice that the product should be installed in a appropriate manner by a competent person i.e. an expert.

Haha yeah I was thinking that was maybe just a 'covering their asses' sort of thing.. I think I'm just clinging on to any possibility that it'll fit :signLOL:
Someone on here must have some experience with them :sad1:
Or is there a company like FK or something that make reps?

Someone like Rieger or Oettinger make aftermarket ABS Plastic parts for VAG cars. Personally I'd get an OEM genuine one (albeit they are pricey) or spent the £70-£100 on a F/G one and take a chance, it may well fit a treat, luck of the draw.

Reigers and Oettingers are a bit too aggressive looking for my tastes, obviously on the right car, they look spot on, but ED30/Votex look a bit more OEM IMO.
I really can't afford the dealer's price, so I guess it's a matter of waiting until a bargain comes up, or until someone finds a good rep. :sad1:

EDIT: Just found this.. The bend in the middle looks terrible :sick:
