....In answer to your PM, my first OSIR front splitter was their first fibreglass version and my current one is PU. I bought my original from TTshop, Bedford and don't remember what it cost - Prices of imported goods change anyway. I bought my PU version privately from a friend on this forum.

I'm just awaiting delivery of a brand new votex front splitter from Germany for £260 (after exchange rate and postage)

After OSIR, the Votex front splitter would be my second choice.......   I think.......  Or perhaps a painted VWR. Votex looks smarter.

Its £285 from VW UK but they apparently take ages to source

I got mine from Kunnzman.de (there was a group buy with them recently for the Valeo LED rear lights). I bought it through their ebay store and paid with paypal for a bit more protection. Its 295euro plus postage but works out at £260 all in.

You couldn't just have posted the pic of the red one Nodz could you?!?!

That pic of the steel grey looks  :drool:

I currently have a Reiger front splitter, but am now strongly considering ordering a votex....

Sorry mate, but you know if you got a votex you would then have to colour code the skirts and the rear.. or even get new ones  :signLOL:

And just for you I thought I'd add some Votex variations all on steel grey to help you decide   :evilgrin:   :grin:

All Steel Grey

I got my Votex through yesterday. In VW parts box, the splitter is stamped, VW install instructions and screws so definitely a genuine part. Ordered it sunday night and arrived yesterday via UPS. If I had to moan about anything its that they never sent me the tracking number part from that I'm very impressed
