Hey all,
Just wondering what you guys think is the nicest looking front splitter for the mk5 GTI?
Must get a new one,
Post up pics of yours so we can compare, that would be great,
-
I still really like the look of the OSIR front splitter. One of my personal faves. :happy2:

Rieger Front Lip Spoiler and Splitter
Looked at a few designs but the Rieger was the only one that looked like it might actually do something.

How about the ABT splitter has anyone seen that?
-
Really really nice Monte, love the Carbon, is your car lowered?
Guys are these splitters much lower than the original?
-
Reiger one sit a bit lower
If you dont plan on lowering the car then you should be alright but if you do it will scrape like mine
-

No i don't plan on lowering it, just want to replace mine, seems to be kinda coming away from the bumper in places,
-
Sorry to Hijack anyone know of a splitter thats to the same design as the OSIR, Carbon Fibre not needed I just want one to fit in the same manner on the chin of the R32.
Dont like the LCR splitter on a MK5.
not much choice for the R32 chin, unless you buy a different lower bumper.

I have the same prob, I clipped a kerb when parking and it's cracked it a little and slightly come away. I like the look of the Osir think that will be the one for me

-
How about the ABT splitter has anyone seen that?
....Yes, it was probably the first aftermarket Mk5 front splitter to be available but its design is a bit too fussy in my opinion. It's also deeper than OSIR and would limit suspension settings on a road car.
-
This is a tricky one!!
Love the ED30 one on mine but really like the OSIR splitter on Robin's beauty but really like the one Carlo posted, WOW.
Rieger. :notworthy:

Lol, I wouldn't go that far.. I think most have been covered except for the votex splitter which imo is better than the ed30 one.
I'll have some pics of one in laser blue tomorrow when I pick her up :party:
-
The Votex splitter is my favourite. :happy2:

Get an Edition 30 splitter, part silver part black like i'm having done at the moment. (or white in your case)
The same as this one in the pic.

After trying unsuccessfully to get a second hand one i had to buy from the vw dealer, managed to get a 15% discount.
Paid around £225..... A lot of money and now i'm paying more to have it painted.
Thats not my car in the pic by the way.

Yea its a lot of money between buying and getting it painted, its does look nice on that silver car tho,
You'll have to show us when you get yours all done,

:notworthy: Al, stunning, truly stunning (the whole car), really like the splitter blended into the bumper!
:happy2:
-
The Rieger would be OK if its not lowered, I've has to lift mine 20mm just to get it on and off the drive, hasn't done the handling any good on track though :sad1:
-
i dont suppose anyone has a gti splitter lying around since upgrading that they'd like to sell me :happy2:

OK thanks for that, but ya it does look really nice, I'm guessing the center section isn't carbon fiber, but still really nice..
-
^^^^
You could always vinyl wrap or paint the centre section. Personally, I think they look better with a black centre section because it accentuates the curves to the sides and the rest of the GTI body styling. I think that a black centre treatment also suits the OEM Ed30 front splitter better too.
There are plenty of pics showing this on the forum.

Pic of my ED30 with splitter in Black, much better than standard. :happy2:

what's the difference between the ed30 and votex ones? they look the same to me :confused:
i wanted a vw racing one but looks like they don't make 'em anymore......

The Votex (like the Ed30) is one piece, the centre section is either sprayed a different colour or wrapped

I wish you could get just the splitter middle part to hook on to the chin of an R32, like how the osir clips on !

....The VWR and Rieger ones look the same and Rieger ones can still be bought. See NeilM's build thread.

Hi Neil,
I hope you didn't mind me showing pics from your splitter thread?
It really is the best I've seen :notworthy:
Do you know at all if Rieger just sell the bottom Carbon blade?
I'd love one on my Ed30!!! Also I'd imagine it would mirror the shape of the Ed30 splitter quite well :happy2:
Carlo. :smiley:

In the uk yes, but I got mine via kunzmann in Germany via their eBay site and got it within 5 days, where as in the uk the dealers have trouble sourcing one.

Ah geez, you're right! Just did some googling and the votex is quite a bit deeper than the ED30.
