Title: splitters
Post by: whiter_than_white on 16 January 2010, 20:08: just wondered what the difference was between a standard gti splitter and the vr6 splitter??
Title: Re: splitters
Post by: Mikester on 16 January 2010, 20:11: The VR6 splitter is deeper (lower) and also stays the same depth around the side of the bumper.

As above, they are a poor fit and break easy.

nope

both sides now no longer made by VW

but you can still order both sides through the dealer, they are now been made by a diff manufacturer under license from VW, still same price etc, this applis to many other parts for the older cars too

my mate works in the dealer,i asked if they were sill avaliable about 3 week ago as i was thinking to get a fresh one :wink:

Title: Re: splitters
Post by: kells on 18 January 2010, 13:09: yeah as i say they are apparently doing this with alot of the older parts

good news for us tho or we wouldnt be able to get certain parts anymore...

Post by: thai-wronghorse on 18 January 2010, 13:26: Pffft who needs OEM parts when you can knock up your own for a fraction of the cost..and lets face it they look tens times better anyhow.

everyone calls it a vr6 one, but it isnt strictly pedantically so
