VR6 front chin spoiler Andy, and yes they are deeper. I've got one on my lowered 8v. Just watch out for the kerbs when parking. My wife has already messed up mine!

Look the nuts though, go on buy one!! :grin:

Your first link to the Ebay shop Goingfast is where I bought mine from. Great service and the product is a very good copy. Recommended.

Shame on you, for either blaming the wifey or letting her drive your car !  :grin:

The VR splitter is much better looking, but as said before if your car is lowered watch out for everything on the road, pot holes, speed bumps etc

Mines just scratched and battered, only bought it a couple of months ago. Autoglym bumper care soon covers it up though. Really improves the look of the car in my opinion, which backs up my arguement for subtle modifications.

Guys, if you're going to buy the VR6 front splitter, make sure it fits properly upon purchase, here is an excellent thread on what can happen with some of these splitters:

Now, it seems to be the luck of the draw, even if you get a proper genuine one as opposed to getting a cheap one, it may still not fit together perfectly as it should.
