Title: VR6 Splitter.
Post by: AcidicDavey on 26 July 2012, 21:27

Just a quick Q.

Does this splitter have less clearance than the standard one?

I ask as I already scrape going into and ot of my drive as it's on a slope off a flat road!

It gives the front of a mk3 a more 'business like' look, well worth it.

I have two genuine vr6 splitters.  :cool:

They take a bashing I've folded mine in half several times. Before the genuine I had 3 cheap splitters in 2 months
Gen has lasted a year on my car and prob 17 years before me

My stock one gets ripped out when I reverse up my drive though  :sad: I can't imagine a cheap one would even last a week!

i fitted my cheap ass ebay early vr6 £15 splitter today, fitment is pretty poor to be fair and its gonna need some sealant on the edges to keep it held on, it doesnt quite fit where both pieces of splitter join up(bit too short!) but the car does look a million times better and already ive scraped it coming out of the petrol station!

oh well better start looking into a oem one, can anyone shed any light on costage?

Genuine one will take a lot more abuse, I broke 2 ebay ones.
