Title: Mk1 LCR Splitter
Post by: GrahamFR on 09 October 2013, 20:25
For those that don't know these front splitters are dirt cheap compared to any other splitters out there and theyve been fitted to basically loads of cars from astras to mini's but does anyone know if it will fit to a mk7 Gti, or did anyone ever fit one to their mk6 assuming it's a similar shape?

I would have thought they could be made to fit. It's normally a case of trimming the center support legs down, but really, would you want to fire some self tappers into the bumper of a new £30k car to fit something that every Corsa ans Saxo in McDonalds car park has on it?

Depends how it looks and assuming i would have to fire self tappers into any splitter and these will be nearly 20x more expensive http://www.golfmk6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46174
Plus it always looked good on the mk2 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v649/EnzoF60/leon5.jpg),

struggling to see how that would work with the current black trim which is one of those details in the flesh that makes the design look cohesive, but heh what do i know

Hmmm I see your point, I just wanted the front to look a bit more aggressive, maybe I'll look into those abt headlight brows

Which bit? It should look better in real life, had a look at that rear diffuser but undecided, I'm not a big fan of the mk7's rear diffuser bit, think the R's looks better and might try and get something similar. But ignore me, I just like to change things, might even get mudflaps lol

Thanks craig, i had trouble finding the price on ABT's website. Hmmm, over a ton for some eyebrows that might look too chavtastic for even my likes... Khan, when are you putting a pic up of yours i need to see these in real life i think

Hi when it comes to ABT: Neil Ridsdale <neil@richtersport.co.uk>
