The best price you can get are from chinese sellers. They have cheap OEM material. You can check www.aliexpress.com and www.bold-sport.com. They sell in ebay as well.

OEM part for a GTI rear spoiler is cheap enough, like the side skirts. Then get them colour coded.

The side skirts come in 2 sizes, so get the ones for your Golf.

The GTI rear spoiler comes in one piece, not like the R32 rear spoiler that has 2 parts. So you just need the rear spoiler.

If you get an OEM front bumper you'll be more satisfied with the outcome.
I thought we already covered that. For the rear you only need rear spoiler to get a full GTI bumper.

You can add the rear aileron. That's the little wing you see above the rear window. I got an OEM, but it isn't cheap since it comes primed.

yes but your confusing me by calling the bottom bumper valance a spoiler

eg. for the rear you will only need the rear spoiler to get the gti bumper look

It's what they're also called. :laugh:

Check this ebay ad: Genuine VW Golf Mk5 GTI Twin Pipe Rear Bumper Spoiler

That's what you need to get, either from ebay, part shop or from local VW dealer.

You also have the roof spoiler that I called aileron. Just forget that since you don't use that word. :signLOL:
