I asked about this yesterday, but I wasn't keen on the price. However, if I had to choose between the Maxton and this, I would go OEM and pay up!

 :grin: Stop copying! haha!!

You ordered those eBay LEDs yet? Chop chop, TAGL.

Not yet... waiting for you to install first  :grin: I have installed some RGM door sill and boot protectors though!

Just that black strip / lip  :grin:

It's a bit like the little side winglets on the standard spoiler, except laid horizontally rather than vertically. I think its nice but very very subtle. It doesn't look like 235 quid's worth!

Personalisation whilst staying OEM.

OEM+ that’s what it all about :)

I'd agree. I don't like anything tacked on that's obviously not OEM... especially on a car like the GTI / R which is fairly understated. That's why I'd prefer that OEM spoiler too rather than anything aftermarket.

Otherwise you could be into Halfords territory very quickly.

I'm sure one of the German tuners makes a whaletale if you really wanted to look like a French boyracer.

You could just find a Type R and reverse into it at speed, granted the Type R spoiler will be turned the wrong way around but it will look better than on the Type R.  :whistle:
