Of course it would.  The 2 rear ends (exhaust layouts aside) are identical.

£235 ?

I think I would prefer to put that money toward fitting a CS, CS-S rear spoiler, it looks far better to my eyes.

Price & Link?

I liked the above one, as it's subtle, simple and a VW part.

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!

Fitting the CS spoiler to an R or standard GTI is a no-no unless you've very deep pockets / completely daft. You have to change the entire hatch door.


I'd be curious if that R spoiler is a gloss black finish (to match the other gloss trims) or is it matt/primed ready for painting. And how easy it is to fit... I'm waiting for someone else to try first  :wink:

By all accounts, it's gloss black and attaches via adhesive trim tape.

I'm tempted, I certainly don't want to go changing body panels. I do recall a thread now where someone said the hatch is the "lower" spec golf hatch to allow for the clubsport spoiler.

suitable for:

 
•     Volkswagen Golf 7 VII GTI Club Sport (2016 -)
•     Volkswagen Golf 7 VII (2013 -)
◦ not suitable for GTI, GTD, R-Line & R models
The Club Sport roof spoiler can be used only in conjunction with tailgate 5G6827025H or 5G6827025Q.

At 1299EUR, I think I prefer the small subtle black trim @ £235  :wink:

That's right, the CS rear hatch is actually the same as that fitted to base spec Golfs - the ones that don't have the GTI/D/R small spoiler.
