Vw part as these are more robust, the reps can break easier  :smiley:

Genuine for sure, although they cost more money they tend to flex when hit against speed bumps, curbs etc rather than shatter like the cheap copies.

No it doesn't.
There is no such thing as a 'VR6 lip' or a 'GTI lip'...there is an early (deep) lip as fitted to early 8vs, early VR6s and Anniversaries...and there is the shallow type used on the later GTIs & VR6s.

The deep lip is about 80mm deep and deep all the way round, the shallow about 40mm at the deepest and shallower at the sides..
