Of course it would.  The 2 rear ends (exhaust layouts aside) are identical.

£235 ?

I think I would prefer to put that money toward fitting a CS, CS-S rear spoiler, it looks far better to my eyes.

Price & Link?

I liked the above one, as it's subtle, simple and a VW part.

I asked about this yesterday, but I wasn't keen on the price. However, if I had to choose between the Maxton and this, I would go OEM and pay up!

Fitting the CS spoiler to an R or standard GTI is a no-no unless you've very deep pockets / completely daft. You have to change the entire hatch door.


I'd be curious if that R spoiler is a gloss black finish (to match the other gloss trims) or is it matt/primed ready for painting. And how easy it is to fit... I'm waiting for someone else to try first  :wink:

By all accounts, it's gloss black and attaches via adhesive trim tape.

I'm tempted, I certainly don't want to go changing body panels. I do recall a thread now where someone said the hatch is the "lower" spec golf hatch to allow for the clubsport spoiler.

suitable for:

 
•     Volkswagen Golf 7 VII GTI Club Sport (2016 -)
•     Volkswagen Golf 7 VII (2013 -)
◦ not suitable for GTI, GTD, R-Line & R models
The Club Sport roof spoiler can be used only in conjunction with tailgate 5G6827025H or 5G6827025Q.

At 1299EUR, I think I prefer the small subtle black trim @ £235  :wink:

That's right, the CS rear hatch is actually the same as that fitted to base spec Golfs - the ones that don't have the GTI/D/R small spoiler.

Just that black strip / lip  :grin:

It's a bit like the little side winglets on the standard spoiler, except laid horizontally rather than vertically. I think its nice but very very subtle. It doesn't look like 235 quid's worth!

Personalisation whilst staying OEM.

OEM+ that’s what it all about :)

I'd agree. I don't like anything tacked on that's obviously not OEM... especially on a car like the GTI / R which is fairly understated. That's why I'd prefer that OEM spoiler too rather than anything aftermarket.

Otherwise you could be into Halfords territory very quickly.

I'm sure one of the German tuners makes a whaletale if you really wanted to look like a French boyracer.

You could just find a Type R and reverse into it at speed, granted the Type R spoiler will be turned the wrong way around but it will look better than on the Type R.  :whistle:

I really like that, but so expensive for what it is.

Maxton Design in the UK have something similar which retails from £89 and is available in molet, gloss and carbon look finishes.
