Having originally gone the ebay route and ended up with a thin, brittle and ultimately broken spoiler I followed the advice on this forum and bought a replacement unit from:

http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/product.php?xProd=3584&xSec=134

It fits perfectly! no centre gap, the sides have 'locked' into the bumper very securely and show no signs of coming free and the overall weight and finish is far superior.

Don't bother with the false economy on ebay.

Wish Id seen this thread before I brought my one off ebay  :undecided:

Ive just fitted my bargin ebay one - One side the clips dont hold on to the bumper very well so had to pack them out a bit and the other side fitted fine nice and tight untill........ i pushed the end bit (near the front wheel) and it snaped  :angry:

I conclude - Dont buy a cheap ebay one they are sh*t!!

Everything I put on my golf is genuine VW - The one aftermarket bit I put on is crap - think Ill stick to OME

got mine for £35 from a local supplier.

its spot on seems good quality but when i smashed my old one off i snapped a tab of the actual bumper so dosent quite pop right in, no fault of the splitter tho!

and they look MILES better then the standard ones.  :wink:
