in the UK anni's came with standard spoilers from factory

By standard do you mean the shallow one?
Anniversary's certainly came with the deep spoiler...I remember collecting mine (Aug 1996) and still have the brochure - deep spoiler.

Sorry, forgot about the Anni's, but didn't know that some regular GTI's had them as well  :undecided:

most pointless topic ever!

but I guess I'll add my 2 cents. I dont like the vr splitter on non vr's as its a mod that everyone seems to do, and I've never been one to follow the trends :)
20vt conversion, sig pic coming soon!

Permission to be a complete pedant/aero geek. Technically none of the aforementioned front valance apendages are actually splitters. A splitter is a horizontal projection from the base of the front air dam, intended to tap the region of high pressure air directly ahead of the vehicle to create downforce. None of the standard VW front air dams work in this way and are thus not splitters.  :nerd:

P.s. Yes I will be fitting a VR6 front dam to my 'Valver when I get around to it.

Love and hate, war and peace, joy and sadness... all just crap that happens between trackdays!

I though we'd already established that it was not a 'VR6' "front dam", as it was not exlusive to the VR   :rolleyes: :lipsrsealed: :grin:

Well it's even less of a VR6 splitter then as it's not VR6 specific AND it's not a splitter!!  :grin:

Very True  :grin:

Whatever it is, i'm sure everyone agree's with the op that it is an improvement on the standard (on all non Gti/VR6 models (and some of the later Gti's/VR6's)) front splitter dam  :grin:
