Interesting, but expensive I should imagine

And with these Eurowagens ones on the scene for £20, will it be worth paying extra just for the VW logo on the back...

for a correct fit id say so, your looking at around 70 large ones for genuine tho, all others iv seen are either wrong material, wrong colour, dont fit right or have a too big gap where they meet in the centre

This is true, I have 2 genuine splitters (gave the 3rd to my dad) and they fit perfectly and come up BLACK when you clean them, not GREY lol. I'm yet to see how this eurowagens one fits but can't see it being as perfect as a genuine one.

Kells is spot on, I have had the cheap ones and they would not stay clipped on and one broke, given the choice I would use a genuine one.

Ive had plenty of ebay pile of ABS crap .... they crack, they don't fit properly, the last one I had to put it over a cooker so the plastic got warm and soft enough for me to mould on to my car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But, but but but butttttt ... these Wagenwerks ones could be the best you'll get considering their direct fitment and flexible and at £20 a go can't go wrong.

However, theirs always going to be people that can't live without genuine ones, so any info would still be appreciated just so people have the option.
