Thanks for all the pics Jimp I like the look of the Vento GL one but I just rang the local VW garage and the parts bloke said the CL and GL splitters are the same? I told him that one should be deeper than the other but he said not. Does anyone have any part numbers for the splitters?

Keep the pics and comments comming people.

Thanks.

No worries everyone, one of the few things I could contribute to this section  :grin:
They are most certainly different but it could be that CLs came with GL lips in the runout years, like how all mk3s got the smoked GTI rears in the runout years. I don't have any part numbers I'm afraid but the owner of the Vento I posted is a regular on the Irish forums so I can try and find out.
Question to mods, could the post listing the different splitters be a handy link to put in the maintenance section or FAQ thread?

Only thing to note with Vento splitters is that genuine ones are a slightly different shape to Golf splitters. It's either wider at the front or longer at the sides, I forget which.

I'll have to see if i can find some more info on this then. So that would explain why the vr6 splitter I have fitted at the moment doesn't go all the way to the edge of the bumper, it must be 15mm too short for the bumper and looks a bit silly. I thought the vento and golf bumper was the same but maybe not then.

Anyone else know of any other splitters that may fit a vento front bumper? More pics please  :smiley:

Thanks.
