Title: To buy or not to buy?
Post by: Jonny on August 31, 2012, 05:44:43 pm

I'm looking at getting a vortex front spoiler in the next couple of weeks, but which one do I go for?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/06-MK5-VW-GOLF-GTI-Front-Bumper-OEM-Votex-Lip-Lower-Valance-Urethane-/300763147161?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4606e16b99#ht_6828wt_1159

or this

The first one is made out of urethane, but what are the disadvantages of that material?

Cheers

I would go for the genuine VW part, not the votex " style" one.
I got conned by a seller on eBay earlier this year, he sent me a fake edition front splitter,
The quality was terrible and just didn't look right, eBay got my money back and  i bought a genuine eom part from VW

I would buy genuine with body parts. If you buy a fake, you will probably spend just as much getting it to fit than you would spend on a OEM one!
