Title: GTI Front Splitter
Post by: timp7748 on 10 January 2007, 13:41

Does anyone have any recommendations for a new front splitter for the GTI. I want to make it more aggressive without it being too low. I've also considered getting the original one sprayed in the body colour. Can anyone help with some suggestions?

That looks nice. Is that just a carbon fibre lip mounted on an original colour coded splitter? Where is the best place for body styling?

Hey Rob

And is that a bit of suspension lowering there too? 25mm by any chance? Hows the ride?

That looks sweet mate. Do they do side skirts and rear bumper too?

Can anyone tell me what bumper this is?

Looks good although personally if i got something inbetween stock height and that i would be happy - i would like it to be lowered but not look if it has been lowered if ya know what i mean.
Are you aware of any warranty issues - ie lack of now you have done this?

Any one got any pictures of a car lowered with -25mm springs?
