stay away. slightest of touch with kerb or bump and they split in bits.

i've smasked quite a few splitters now via many different methods (not on purpose! lol)

genuine vw ftw, all others break too easy from my experience :cool:

although i have broke a genuine splitter, but there was no way it was going to survive after what i did to it :D ohh and im not telling that story.......... :D

lol cheers guy's. so overall they look good still but brake easy. other than generall wear and tear differences to the original vw ones you cant tell the difference looks wise?  :smiley:

vw ones fit perfectly where as the replicas often come out the sides and don't fit perfectly in the middle.

seriously, buy gen.

I've already cracked 2 copies

you can normally find genuine ones on the bay or on forums. i've picked up 2 now, and both cost me around £20 i believe. :)

Mine is off the bay and although it seems pretty hard wearing, as Khare says, it does keep popping out at the sides.

Car is on the ramp again this weekend so I'll be treating it to a couple of self tapping screws  :wink:

I will throw a spanner in the works and say my ebay special fitted fine (never popped out), had no gaps and got grazed nearly everyday and never broke! i think it's luck (like everything on the bay) as other people have had issues with the same one's!
