Front spoiler definitely is the ED30 spoiler. See mine below

It does not seem to be Ed30 front spoiler, as Votex spoiler has so to say open space in it, while spoiler on Ed30 does not.

theres all these kits out there but how on earth do you source them?

I thinki might just get the R32 side skirts (which are on ebay at £100) and the rear Votex bumper (which is £320 on ebay).
Both items come primed so they will just need painting. The front lip spoiler i think i'll keep but get it colour coded. Total i estimate with labour and stuff to be around £650  - £700.

You people are so lucky. We dont get these kits etc down here. We could but unlike America etc we cant get it on the car standard. Have to import it and get a company to fit it.

i think it makes the car look   :evil:

....I got mine via the TTshop in Bedford for nearly half that price!! They ordered them from VW Germany and came primed ready to paint. Also, my OSIR front splitter cost less than the Votex and there's much more to it! I would steer clear of fleeBay - Those so-called 'shops' are never cheaper in my experience.

You like this OSIR front? For some reason it reminds me of Ford Focus ST front... It is not very subtle.

IMHO, ABT front and Rieger or Caractere back are the best looking.

....Well, each to their own of course - It would be dull if we all liked the same.

I think the Abt front (I have Abt rear to accommodate my quads) is fussy compared to the OSIR. The Rieger sides and rear are incredibly over fussy and the front looks better but is getting a bit 'max-power', besides being very impractical on UK roads. The Caractere rear is quite the worst I've seen with that shiny black section which also is far too high.

What I like about mine is that it could be mistaken for being stock and is in my opinion fairly subtle.
