Title: Differance between ed30 and mk5 front vallance ??
Post by: reidtastic on 15 December 2009, 21:05

Just wondering if there is actually a differance apart from the ed30 one being colour coded and smooth, they both look very simelar !!

There is not much i them is there ! ive had a closer look now, there is a slight differance but not enough to warrant that sort of cash IMO

has anyone got the OSIR front vallance, any road clearace issues with it ?

OSIR splitter does look nice but very expensive, the VWR or Rieger (sp?) splitter is pretty nice but doesnt look so original manufacture. i know if someone who split the reiger but only because he drives it on very low settings on coilovers. not sure if he comes on here much any more JoesGTI. i need to fix my splitter as well though on my eddie after turning in someones drive near where i live and not seeing  a big brick on the floor, wonder if i would have cleared it if i wasnt lowered!!?!! absolutely devastating feeling hearing it happen and have been looking for a repalcement since but they aint cheap. ED30 splitter is about 200 on its own plus 200 through VW for spraying! im waiting till march/ april when theres no more grit on the road then getting it done properly.

I thought the were £300 sheets, I can live with £200 ill go for the ed30 i think, yea the vw racing looks a bit "tacked on" tbh, im going to
go for the vw racing coilovers though they look pretty sweet, i take it they are rebranded, revalved KW V2s,
Need to get saving this golf is turning out to be expensive.

If you want to colour code then the ED30 valance is easier to do as the stock GTI valance has a textured surface. The ED30 valance also has a more pronounced lip.

Good to see someone getting into suspension mods too. Personally I would go with Bilsteins. :cool:

yea i was thinking about the pss9s, not decided yet, those and the VWR are top of the list though. cupra or r32 brakes are on the menu too,

New Bilsteins are PSS10's 10 way damping instead of 9 :cool:

Cupra brakes are a good solid upgrade. Cheaper than the R32, but exactly the same for the fronts and the Cupra ones are already red. :smiley:

Mine with the ed30 bumper, hard to see from the photos but it makes the front look much meaner.
