I had 3 ebay ones, 2 never fitted right and kept popping off, 3rd was a good fit until dad found a low curb.

Mine cracked on a kerb, same kerb got shadys splitter lol.

Got myself a genuine VR6 splitter, you can feel how soft the plastic is on the genuine. It just bends not shatter.

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!

the same with me,got it from ebay bout 8 months ago,fits nicely never pops out and challenged a speed bump in reverse and nothing,luck i thinks :grin:

Genuine ones get nicked all the time :angry:

GSF/Ebay ones are moulded trade shop stylee with all the regrind chucked in plus some more black masterbatch which makes them weak and stressed at the hardest point to fill, the quality varies quite a lot across the batch as well.
Either drive more carefuly or buy VW (which is probably made in the same place now) :laugh:

I got mine from GPC (VW Audi parts) think thats what they are called. They sell genuine VW etc parts and they are £25 plus postage for a genuine VW VR6 Splitter.

I think most of it is new, they do used parts aswell i think. Just get them to confirm when you phone to order as they don't trade online (i think).
