Title: Front Splitter
Post by: AndyStephens on 21 January 2009, 23:12

Im fancying this as an alternative to getting an anni splitter http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=150306468432&Category=72206&_trksid=p3907.m29&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26its%3DI%26otn%3D2

I'll be honest and say i don't like that,but i don't like the front anni valance either :sick: I've got a cupra r splitter on mine,but i've yet to see one on a std bumper.

its made from GRP. the first hard thing u hit, its goin to get smashed. look for ABS parts mate. cheaper in the long run.

I want an R32 bumper for my car, hard to come by on the cheap though  :sad:

Post by: jonnyturbo on 22 January 2009, 20:48

same here bob i want one too

Title: Re: Front Splitter
Post by: bobbarley on 22 January 2009, 20:51

Partly because the R32 bumper looks great, but also because I can use the Cupra splitter as a barrier to avoid kerbs etc scratching the R32 bumper  :smiley:

I don't think VW do group buys, and even with discount it's still cost a million quid a piece  :drool:

Post by: Grand Master Patch on 22 January 2009, 21:20

I allways catch mine,but a £20 splitter is a damm sight cheaper than a £500 bumper.I actually only bought mine to fit over the fmic,std bumper had no chance and i hated the reiger that was on the car when i bought it.

Title: Re: Front Splitter
Post by: bobbarley on 22 January 2009, 21:21

That's my thinking Patch, easy to replace the splitter.

Did anyone ever find out is the Cupra splitter can be modded to fir the anni valance?
