Golf mk8 / Re: CS rear hatch spoiler
« Last post by JoeGTI on 15 April 2026, 18:15 »
It’s one whole piece. It’s bolt on, and actually not a very difficult DIY job afaik. The dealers is obviously where you go to get one new. I think they’re at least 1k. A German shop has it here, and it looks like they come pre painted:

Or you might get lucky in a breakers yard.

This was pretty much on five years.

No idea what they are playing at.

I don't really care apart from the stupid message that pops up every time I start the car

The sump is plastic, it may be worth checking that it isn't cracked. It could also just be spillage from where it has been topped up.

I may have answered my own question, the smaller section does look to be slightly different so it'll be whole whole thing by the looks of it

Golf mk8 / CS rear hatch spoiler
« Last post by flipflops on 15 April 2026, 17:24 »
If I wanted to fit one to a normal GTI, is it the whole spoiler I need or is it an extension fitted onto the back of the standard GTI spoiler?

Also does anyone know the best place to pick one up?

TIA

Some random EU regulation. A bit like straight bananas.

I preferred everyday use.
That's why I didn't think about PP.

I’d have been the same to be honest.
The red tipped wheels and black exhaust are unique to the Ed50 and the suspension should be a tad more useable for standard (quick) road car use so I’d have stuck with a regular non PP version.

I haven't but, cars like these are going to get old and disappear soon so I'd say if you can, do it. Exciting new cars seem few and far between and also very expensive. Even if you enjoyed it for a year and then moved it on at least you'd experienced it.


Precisely that ^^^^  :cool: :afro:

Golf mk8 / Drivers seat
« Last post by jc_tattooer_ on 15 April 2026, 17:08 »
Had my 8.5 GTi a good few weeks now, and I am constantly adjusting the drivers seat. I feel like every time I get in I’m further away fro the wheel, so I feel like I’m forever adjusting and it’s not comfortable at all.
Spoke to to dealer today, they can’t help me at all until August. 4 months!!!! But, it was almost like they knew it was an issue.

I’ve since found a bit on FB about people asking the same thing, anyone here at that issue?

Any regrets not specifying the Performance Pack?
