Title: small bumper gti splitter
Post by: Dan34 on 30 March 2009, 20:59

Hi, i need to remove by front splitter of my small bumpered gti, i was just wondering if anyone knows how to remove it, i had a quick look today andi  can see some bolts at each end of it but not too sure whats holding it on along the middle of it, its hard to see under there as my cars abit low lol

Thanks in advance

undo the two bolts at either end, then iirc it should just be a case of doing the same along the rest of it.

It could however be half clipped and half bolted into position like on my old 1300.
