Edition 30 front spoiler any clearence problems ?
« on: 18 October 2007, 11:11 »
Hi

I am looking to find out from edition 30 owners if they have any issues with the front spolier grounding out or catching on speed bumps etc.

My car currently has an ABT front splitter and it is getting on my nerves because i have to be so careful where i drive and yesterday i got it caught on my mates drive and it has started to split the fiberglass.

I will replace it with an edition 30 one if there aren't any issues with clearence but i wanted to check 1st.

 

Cheers

 

Simon

My ED30 has got better clearance than my S3 did as the S3 used to catch on the entry to my garage but the ED30 doesn't.  Not really much use to you I know  :wink:

As was said by Ollieb7 your car looks really good like it is and I wouldn't change it if I were you  :smiley:

If you do end up changing it I will buy that splitter off you. I was just about to buy one of these.

I'd leave the ABT one on. So what if you need to be careful over speed bumps. It looks worth it. :cool:

No problems over speed bumps with my ED30 and there are some humdingers around where I live :angry:

My OSIR front spoiler is in between the depth of the stock GTI and the Abt and I only get potential problems on extreme drives into some people's houses.

My Edition 30 front spoiler grounds out lots, it's an issue.

Take a bumpy road at speed and it'll ground. Steep driveways too although speed bumps are ok so far.

No flexibility in it either!

It's a mess underneath but doesn't show unless I get on my hands and knees.

Never had a car that grounds out (at all) before, quite suprised at this happening!
