I recently spoke to Roman at the goingfast.com company and he is willing to do a deal on the splitters if we have enough interest
http://us-shop.goingfast.com/product_info.php?info=p3657_MK3-Euro-VR6-Deep-Bumper-Spoiler-Lip.html
will be less than £13.90 i know that for a fact, but postage could bring it upto 27
might reduce postage cost though aswell if theres enough interest
anyone up for it?

Sorry but the one I had off them wouldn't stay clipped in place, and when it did, it lasted all of about 5 minutes, it shattered into about 50 pieces. Would never buy one again, 25 quid down the drain, which I borrowed off my dad in the first place :angry:
-
just buy the real thing..they are called going fast for a good reason..
work it out
-
^^As above had 2 and they would not stay clipped on.

Mine bought 3 years ago is still going strong! Looking at all the forums it seems people have different views about how well these are made.
It could be worthing asking if they use different suppliers and tell them of the problems people have had and see if theres a good reason (different suppliers etc) The group buy is a good idea (maybe just not these splitters?)

Anyone had one from rennsport? they are the same price as the goingfast ones though so i'd imagine that they are of a 'brittle' nature. Also, where can i get my hands on a 'proper' one? i.e original.

stick to genuine vr splitters, i got one on now. i have abused the F**K out of it!!!!! even crashed with it (although it was exactly a proper crash). its a crack on it, but it never comes off, through the abuse. However in extremes cases it has unclipped in the middle - but the others i have had would have shattered to bits!
LL ;)

I bought a genuine one from a scrappy recently..
Drove into a kerb on Monday (wasn't looking where I was going) and it's still fine :grin:
-
thought id see if anyone was interested, got one for my last gti and it lasted fine, ill see how my next one goes lol
-
real deal can be had at the dealers, will set you back 65 quid tho
-
I might just go for one of these seat ones, or a gl one. Deep but no groove.

exactly my experience, wouldn't stay clipped at the sides and then shattered to bits with in a week - cheap for a reason

go OEM, not fake!
.... as mentioned, the fakes look okay, but don't clip in properly (so will either hang out or need to be glued in place with contact adhesive and a lot of hope) and they tend to be VERY brittle one bump that wouldn't even have un-clipped my OEM splitter left one of these (not from this company mind you) in about 6 pieces....
