MrBen 0 Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 GPC sell proper VW ones, or at least did when I last bought one from them.The GSF ones are truly rubbish. Don't fit and are brittle so crack way too easily. Link to post Share on other sites
Whitedog 0 Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Got mine from euro car parts, £26 for the pair and are as good as what came off, well better really as the original one came off in about 16 pieces due to some cat who wasnt quick enough. Link to post Share on other sites
matth76 1 Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 VAG ones are supposed to be better quality than aftermarket. Got all mine for £59, which may be more than others but it is supposed to absorb any impacts better as opposed to being brittle. Mines the same as yours Whitedog... looks far better than the later vr6 'thin' standard splitter which I used to have, which is exactly the same as on the bog standard 1.4 golf. Not sure why the earlier vr6's and gti's got the deep front splitter whereas the later ones didn't. Link to post Share on other sites
Whitedog 0 Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Yeah, deeper is best, but it catches on quite a bit, mostly when you come off a speed bump...bloody things, whose idea were they anyhow... Link to post Share on other sites
MrBen 0 Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Not sure why the earlier vr6's and gti's got the deep front splitter whereas the later ones didn't.My understanding is that a lot of fleet operators complained as they had to keep replacing them when careless company car users bashed them on kerbs etc! They were pretty low for a standard front spoiler, even at standard ride height. Link to post Share on other sites
