Double the depth at a guess.
If you get a genuine one it will not shred for a while!
Mine scrapes everyday and is still visibly perfect, apart from a crack from the snow!
Its even been folded back on itself when being dragged from a tow truck and it just bounced back!


And to be fair, splitters are there for the scraping  :cool:

When you fit it put some screws through the little tabs that go through the bumper from underneath this will secure it a bit better too.

Genuine VW is a lot better as it flexes, by the time you have replaced a few of cheap ones you may as well have got a genuine one.

Yes Wayne!!
You can pick up cheap genuine ones if you look around, they generally have a small crack in them but mehhhh! You won't regret it ;)
