The material they use is full of re grind and a load of black masterbatch, the genuine parts are the correct grade of material designed to take impacts and resist cold/heat and UV.....

If we could find out where they are moulded then I could supply the right material for a group buy.........


That be AMAZING! would you be aloud on a legal note tho? otherwise all the cheap ebay ones would be doing this?

The eBay ones are made using the cheapest materials possible, for profit not for durability

Cheapo Vr splitter fitted tonight and was really easy, old one pulled off and new one slotted straight on although i think i'll put a couple of self tappers in underneath because its not quite as snug as the old one.

Looks better gavv, my first ebay splitter was a loose fit and popped out one side now and again but my latest one was quite difficult to get on and a real good fit so they seem to vary alot .

Yeah, i read a couple of threads and wasn't expecting miracles but it actually fits quite well although i don't expect it to last long but seeing as i only have a -40mm drop on the front it might be ok.

I'm ditching my vr one in favour of a gti one mainly because when I remove my helper springs it won't have enough room  :smiley:

VR6 one is a lot nicer but you need a genuine one for sure. My Anni has a genuine one with two cracks in it but still going strong!
