Title: Front Splitter GTi
Post by: jaceyboy on 09 February 2019, 15:40
Just feel like something is missing from the front of the car, seems very high, so been looking at splitters, has anyone fitted one on here to a MK7?, if so please show pics and spec, thanks

Remember when every modded car had a Laguna front splitter?

Triple R Composites have brought one out that also covers the corner splitters on the car - it stops it looking like you've bolted a splitter to another one and looks loads better than most out there.

I have a maxton design one fitted to my car and am very happy with it. It's been on a year now and is still perfect :)

Much prefer the triplercomposites one than the maxton. Looks nicer but that's just my taste  :whistle:

Would love to see a pic!

I'm considering front splitter and the rear spoiler Maxton do.

Thank you :) They are novus 0.1 wheels, 18inch with an et of 42, so they sit out a little futher than stock which I think are et 49. Reasonably priced and well finished.

Many thanks :) I had the splitter installed by a local bodyshop. I believe its held in place with some screws / speed clips and some body adhesive.
