What are the thoughts?
Title: Re: The Mods are on, or some anyway.
Post by: JasonGTD on 30 May 2018, 17:24: The splitter looks very OEM imho, tail tips are the same dia as the originals. In the photo it looks like they are protruding out quite far but they really aren't I'm happy with the overall look.
Title: Re: The Mods are on, or some anyway.
Post by: wantmygti on 30 May 2018, 17:49: I reckon they both look pretty decent. Subtle and inline with oem kit.

Post by: JasonGTD on 30 May 2018, 18:27: Cheers, I wanted to keep it subtle and not shouty.

Post by: BobbyT on 30 May 2018, 18:43: Not keen on the tips; I like the chrome ones, the splitter looks good. Which one is that?

The splitter I got off ebay, new from a company called Inspire SC, the tips make it stand out from every other GTD imo.

Post by: Ian_C on 30 May 2018, 20:33: Splitter looks fab. Not sure about exhaust tips - have you got a pic of the whole rear end?

Post by: JasonGTD on 30 May 2018, 21:06: Not got a full one.

Post by: MjrSharpe on 30 May 2018, 22:21: Tips look well as part of the whole rear of the car. Black mirror caps / wrap would tie things together nicely as well

Post by: Carbon VW on 30 May 2018, 22:27: Those exhaust tips tho on an oil burner ???? :undecided:
I do like the splitter tho.

I'm not so sure of the mirror caps tbh, I like them stock.

Post by: CocoPops on 31 May 2018, 15:24: Interesting, so it’s a mk7 splitter not a 7.5?
It fits ok?

Yes fits perfectly, no issues.

Was the splitter easy to fit?
