The ED30 front spoiler is a good option. Expensive, but worth it. Some aftermarket spoilers sit lower than the side skirts and spoil the flow of the look of the car from the side. :smiley:

Hi

I have a Golf with ABT front & Rear valance and side skirts.

I think if you have the side skirts you should have a diffrent front valance because the side skirts are so much lower than standard, but a word of warning the ABT valance is to low and has two points on the front that are very vunrable i damaged mine by just touching a standard curb while parking it also rubs on large speed bumps.

Please see photos

SiGibbo - thats a nasty bit of damage, i was looking at putting that front spoiler on mine but with different sides and probs gona have to be a custom rear coz of my exhaust.

Anyway, was going to ask, have you managed to get it fixed? How did you get it fixed and how much has it set you back?

Obv with anything you do to a car, its more to go wrong and more to pay out etc, but i just feel my car looks to high off the ground with the 19's on and i feel at 30ml lower its at its limit, so my next option was to put a kit on.

Anyway, post back and let me know pleeeease!

I Havent had time to look at getting it repaired yet so not sure on cost of that yet.

Mine is on 19's on standard suspension and i think it looks just right with the kit on, but you do have to have the front valance and lower side skirts or i think it would look odd.

Is the ed30 front valance expensive? the ebay link showed one for £90 or so...

I guess it then needs prepped, painted and bolted on.

Let the fun begin........Red Gti, full colour coding, DSG, Xenons, Winter pack, Lux pack, Highline, Sat Nav, Sunroof, Leather, Milltek, ABT rear valance, Goodyear F1 Asymmetrics....pescaras :-)
