Title: Gloss black exterior trim for MK8 GTI Clubsport
Post by: Richard L on 16 April 2025, 17:50

Hi all,

I’m trying to source some gloss black bits to replace the grey plastic trim pieces, mainly the front grill, lower splitter and side skirts. Diffuser is also on the list, but might opt for a non OEM style one.

I have looked online and found these guys, they have everything I need, but they do not ship to the Uk and prices are a bit high compared to the Aliexpress one- https://dbcustoms.de/en/products/front-lippe-hochglanz-schwarz-fur-golf-8-gti-und-clubsport?pr_prod_strat=e5_desc&pr_rec_id=b00c4dfe1&pr_rec_pid=9341159113031&pr_ref_pid=9211402420551&pr_seq=uniform (https://dbcustoms.de/en/products/front-lippe-hochglanz-schwarz-fur-golf-8-gti-und-clubsport?pr_prod_strat=e5_desc&pr_rec_id=b00c4dfe1&pr_rec_pid=9341159113031&pr_ref_pid=9211402420551&pr_seq=uniform)



One seller on Aliexpress sells the grills, but seller reviews are questionable -

Has anyone managed to source these parts?


Thanks in advance.

Have a look on this German-based shop - https://shop.ahw-shop.de/vw-teile/golf/golf-8-5h

I've bought a few bits off them before. Not sure if they ship to the UK though (I'm in Ireland and it was no issue). They've absolutely tons of stuff for the Golf 8 / 8.5. Rear diffuser for the 8.5 Clubsport - https://shop.ahw-shop.de/original-vw-golf-8-5h-facelift-gti-clubsport-diffusor-heckdiffusor-schwarz-5h6807568m041?c=9157

Thanks, definitely have a good selection of parts. Unfortunately, they don’t ship to the UK according to their eBay page.

Totally forgot about the 8.5 diffuser, looks way nicer. I would love to source one, hopefully fitment is the same, being just a facelift.

Fitment will be the same. I think someone posted photos on here actually of their MK8 with an 8.5 diffuser fitted.
