Title: big bumper lower spoiler from ebay?
Post by: Garza on 11 July 2009, 18:58: I could do with new lower spoilers... couple from ebay:

£48.98 total
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=180358883087

£54.98 total
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=390061397192

Has anyone bought these from either seller before? any recommendations/rejections? both seem pretty expensive tbh

Regards

Post by: OakeyDoak16v on 12 July 2009, 00:59: sh!t in a bucket man! Don't buy either.

Many people on here inc myself have bought from Lesbray and he is a trusted seller, although i do think thats a ridiculous price. I wouldn't by feck from Poland either.

I bought a brand new splitter through e bay a couple of yrs ago and paid £20. If their going for £50 now then what a rip off. As said look elsewhere or go 2nd hand. :smiley:

Post by: Garza on 12 July 2009, 07:16: thanks for the advice chaps. I will keep an eye out for decent genuine second hand ones on ebay and the forum. I think the current ones I have on my car aren't genuine as they dont fit well!

Post by: Jay on 12 July 2009, 15:08: The big bumpers inc the spolier went in the skip. Worst £30 I spent on that car, especially for items listed as MINT :angry:
Title: Re: big bumper lower spoiler from ebay?
Post by: Garza on 12 July 2009, 15:12: ah that sucks, I hate it when they list things as mint when clearly they aren't! Might just go down the scrappies and nab a lower spoiler.

I think GSF have stopped selling them now, they're not on the website anymore. I'll call them tomorrow though to check.

ah brilliant! I'll give them a call tomorrow to see if they have any in stock. Do you remember roughly how much they cost you?
Title: Re: big bumper lower spoiler from ebay?
Post by: hobbes on 12 July 2009, 21:13: They were £45.42 incl vat.

They had one side in stock (Farnham, surrey) but had to get the other in which took just one day...

Post by: Ninja on 13 July 2009, 22:13: Yeah, lol. £72.. you can buy a bag of crisp's for that much anyway... :grin:

What I will say however, is be prepared for a bloody annoying hour getting the bugger to fit. Tight is not the word.

Post by: petrolh34d on 14 July 2009, 15:34: Look for a decent second hand one.

Although I don't know what kind of quality GSF etc are, most of the reproductions of VW splitters that you get on eBay are made from really brittle, bad quality plastic, and just shatter at the slightest impact.

I'm wearing a second hand genuine splitter on my GTi, and it stands up to an insane amount of scuffing, clipping and banging.

I have potentially found a second hand one for £20, gonna pick it up in a couple of weekends when im free :smiley:
