did a search and never got any results back so thought i would ask if anyone has ordered/fitted one of these and what the quality is like?

That's a non GTI fitment Not sure Id send so much money without knowing the quality
Rather spend more money and get a home grown item

Yip it's non-gti but I have a GT without the gti spoiler. Of looks to me like its the same shape as the gti. Its not much more expensive than the genuine gti spoiler.

imo will look very chavvy.
boot,bonnet,roof,doors,arches....weight saving
just a CF spoiler?...Fail.
All IMO obviously.

This forum, and in fact life, would be pretty dull if nobody expressed an opinion. If nobody here has fitted one of these spoilers you end up with either no replies or some opinions. Ergo Sootpigs post is a waste of time as he offered an opinion too. This is a good forum with a lot of very helpful members. In my opinion of course.
It's a fairly pricey item to take a chance on regarding fitment, quality etc. Also I can't see a cut-out for the high level brake light in the photos.
Personally I'd buy a genuine VW one as it's a little cheaper and is a guaranteed fit. Only thing is you'll have to get it painted. Or you could carbon wrap it to achieve the same look if that's what you want to achieve.

Its not the cheapest spoiler around for the Mk5. Being from China I'd worry about the quality, what's the purpose of this BTW? Look at VOTEX or if your after C/F then look at OSIR, which can be sourced through thettshop.com online.
Oh and that's my opinion, if you don't want anyones opinion then don't post a question to which you'll get them. :smiley:
Love the bit where the Chinese peep in the eBay advertisement says "the spoiler no fit GTI model!!!!" :signLOL:

Just contact them directly as they are the UK distributor for OSIR. Lots of peeps have used them for OSIR Mk5 C/F stuff with no problems. :happy2:

there are constructive comments and opinions but something like what was posted is a waste of time. anyway we digress.
osir stuff is here http://www.ttsroadsport.com/content.asp?inc=product&catalog=204311S0201 (http://www.ttsroadsport.com/content.asp?inc=product&catalog=204311S0201)
£140ish for china or another taiwan sourced spoiler or £350+vat and postage for osir (hong kong company) which i suspect will be made in or in the vicinity of hong kong.

quality is an unknown hence why i was asking if anyone has one or had seen a post with one.
there are gti and votex spoilers and quality is a given for them but all require paint. i was looking to see if there was an alternative to getting a spoiler requiring paint and not costing the guts of £400.

Stop being a fanny.

:signLOL: :grin:

mmm fanny. :drool:

As its not genuine vw then quality and the fitment might not be the same although everything is a gamble ebay can be good but can also be very poor aswell
Not Everyone Will Agree ?
