Agreed, when I ordered mine, I was told there were only 2 left showing on the database. It's a superseeded part too, so once they are gone....
Car is looking great Si - what's next?

Yeah, shame as think much better fit/look in the GTi with it.
All fitted:
Not sure what is next mate, wheels, bodywork, colour coding, de-cat, remap all on the list tho :grin:

Took a gamble and bought a splitter of eBay. Was a Votex rep, but as listed as plastic (rather than fibre glass) thought be worth a shot.
Arrived today :happy2:
Very pleased with initial look/feel. I know is never going to fit aswell as OEM. But must say very impressed with this one. As made out of plastic is very flexible (can twist and bend for better fitting) like the genuine one would be, plus has side fitting kit which will allow adjustment for better fitting. The tags look like are all in the right place, plus the underside tags are easily flattened so fitting them will be as same as OEM.
For the money (£98) versus OEM (think current price for a Votex one is £250 plus VAT) I would say this particular one is good value for money. Will drop off at the body shop this week.
Some pics:
Packaged up very well:
Fitting kit:
Plastic backing unprimered:
Side, front and underside all has primer:

Look forward to seeing how it fits/looks when it's on!
Are you going to trial fit it before paint?
