A few things arrived today that I ordered for my new GTD, I'm please with the quality etc. Not easy to see on the photo but the center section is raised, best illustrated on the GTI photo below. The splitter is made in gloss black 6mm thick Fiberglass so it's pretty rigid.

So the GTD should look something like this.

The new Badges have arrived too.

Now the car needs to hurry up :laugh:
The Akrapovich tips should arrive next week.

Not wishing to be negative, but I presume you are aware you have two different fonts for the GTD badges?
The large badge looks more like the Mk4 typeface than the Mk7 :undecided:

Where did you purchase the splitter from? Do you have a link? Thanks

Yep, I'm aware of that given that you wont be looking at them at the same time I'm ok with it, the front badge said MK7 but I wouldn't know the difference.
Jonny I'll get you the link.

Just to touch on this, have you considered https://www.badgeskins.com/mk7.html (https://www.badgeskins.com/mk7.html)? They sell the vinyl overlay for your existing GTD badges so you don’t have to debadge and rebadge.
They look pretty good in my opinion. I hope your GTD arrives quickly!

Exactly what I did on mine....

I would consider taking the rear badges off , I have on both our cars Tiguan and GTD I think it looks good .
but good luck with whatever you pick , and please put photos up when you get the car .

I'd be wary of cheap Chinese knock offs, I learned the hard way with cheap centre caps. They don't stand up too well to the elements.
Buy cheap, buy twice :sad:

Agree Mate, I actually bought a full set of vinyl overlays yesterday, front, rear, sides and steering wheel so will just keep the other badges in the drawer for now. :grin:

Is the front lip a Maxton design.
