Title: VWR Front Spoiler / Splitter
Post by: Lee01 on May 13, 2010, 08:21:42 pm

Hi All,

My front spoiler / splitter is slightly out of shape where the previous owner has caught a high kerb. The centre section does not line up as it should, it starting to annoy me.
I have came across the Volkswagen Racing front spoiler and at first glance I like the look of it, however I am worried it may be a little chav.......boy racer.

I have seen several pictures however wondered if anyone has any first hand experience, and could vouch for quality and fittment?

Also my car is standard ride height, and I don't want to end up worrying I am going to rip the thing off every time I go over a speed bump.

Any comments / advise always much appriecated!!

....

You should be alright except over the most extreme speed bumps but it's never a good idea to go fast over them anyway.

^ On gillm's - Looks very good in my opinion, and not chavvy.

The other good thing about the VWR front spoiler is that not being painted it needs less maintenance.

Thanks for reply,

I must admit that looks bloody nice.

I like and i don't

They aren't chavvy at all though... they look much better in the flesh tbh!

Love the depth of the splitter in post #2, Robin's is pretty special too.

Not suitable for track racing over kerbs  :driver:
