Hi all just ordered an edition 30 front splitter from nk tuning, i got some money knocked off so thought id go for it :smiley: anyone had any dealings with these guys or anyone got this splitter fitted? Just wondered what the fit/quality was like cheers
-
Forgot to mention its a replica ed 30 splitter not genuine
-
Be interested what the fit is like

I'd also like to know as copies usually look and cause headache when painting fitting. I hate fibre glass products and swore never to buy them again so help me lord. :popcornsoda:

I had a grands worth of headache 3 years back and would never buy fibre crap again. the fibre sucks in the primer and paint very quickly and I've seen the parts painted and how much primer is required.

I went for this one on eBay. Had to say fitting was spot on and no issues since fitting:

Did you make an offer? Just wondering how much they'd accept.
-
Hmmm tempted as well.

If I go for rear bumper (similar to yours Raz), then I will have to go for this front splitter and respray the side skirts.
You guys are a bad influence man!

@shoaybmakda (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=12148) looks decent that the one i ordered is grp i got it for 75 my painter reckons the grp these days arent too much headache although lets face it its only a £75 splitter its still way cheaper than oe prices

@rashg60 (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=11930) yeah I put a offer of about £60 and they counter offered. Can't remember what it was but it was cheaper than what they price is so went for it.
@ashvag0 (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=15410) very true and to be fair at this price I have no complaints. Fitting is spot on and paint hasn't flaked off or anything.
-
Did it just fit perfectly or some fettling involved?

No idea - I got the body shop to fit it but from what I saw the screw holes were in the right place and everything seems fine
