ouch...... done that before on the daily and that's not even lowered!......  I'm not too sure how low i'll drop the golf as I want to be able to give it some without the fear of banging anything ever!

Got home from work a little early today so removed the VR6 splitter and refitted the Gti one for the time being:



The Vr6 one looked like this:



Which I then bodged it into this:



It's pretty solid and doesn't look too bad in person. I'm thinking about running the Gti one for a while though and winding the coilovers down :evil:

Awesome 'bodging' skills mate :afro:

I think it would be rude to not wind the coilovers down a bit more  :evil:

Same, put a GTi one back on mine after really finishing the VR lip, prefered it, much "smoother" on the bumper, plus lowered down a bit more it looks fine. :afro:

Where all my moneys went.

Cheers guys, just glued it with some 2 part glue, waited for it to go off then took a soldering iron to it to refuse the plastic together, and added a layer of silicone sealant type stuff on the back for good measure. Seems to have done the job! :cool:

Lets see what tomorrow brings, if the weather is ok, I may tackle the coilovers :lipsrsealed:

Nice :D was that a gen splitter? I think the VR splitters look better with the GTi side skirts IMO but starting to get bored of them, we all want US splitters :evil:
