Ok, I will be putting on a Votex front splitter very soon (next week). I am trying to establish how it goes on for definate. I'm pretty I have it sorted, and I have consulted my amazing version of ETKA (which doesn't really help as it's all split anyway) but just in case...
Bottom screws in arch
All the screws under the original splitter
Pull the spoiler and splitter off
Put the new one on
Put all the screws back
Sound good?
*Changed some stuff

Sounds about right, I've got the instructions that come with mine, will take pics and post later/ in the morning

Sounds about right, as long as it's the Votex splitter.
Vortex is a large American VW forum, do they sell pattern parts? :surprised:

It's a lot easier to take the bumper off and do it that way.
-
Can anyone provide a link to where a can get a splitter from? Am having no luck finding a decent second hand ed30 splitter for my jetta so a think this is the next best thing
Thanks in advance
-
I'm near sure there was one up for sale, in the for sale section lately :wink:
-
Really? just looked through the most recent 11 pages of the classifieds and there isnt any adds for a vortex splitter.
Dont suppose you have a link to it if you have seen it?
-
I will have a look now matey :wink:

It was in there, but now sold dude sorry about that !
-
Not to worry thanks very much though :happy2:
-
If no joy there kunzmann from Germany will deliver it ups tracked from Germany for ~£250 depending on the exchange rate. Uk dealers can find it hard to source them sometimes
-
As above, Kunzmann FTW. Can't beat the German OEM peeps. :happy2:
Really wouldn't pay more than £180-£200 for a second hand one (unless its mint and in the colour your after) when you can buy a shiney brand new one for £260 (inc shipping).
~~ Clicky here ~~ (http://www.kunzmann.de/shop/en/tuning-styling-vw-golf-5-v-genuine-volkswagen-votex-front-spoiler-lip.htm)
There is still one for sale on here for £260, bit steep as it looks a wee bit less than mint. :confused:

You're right. You won't find a Vortex splitter for sale on this forum!
-
^^^^ A wee bit pricey considering the price when new but here you go, as your cars TR it could be a winner....

So out of the choice of the two an ed30 front splitter or a vortex one which one would get your vote, a can get hold of an ed30 splitter brand new for £270 but a thought the vortex ones would be cheaper didn't realise they would be a similar price.
Is there much difference between the two different types?

Do you know how long it takes to get to you? Ie: from order to delivery?
-
^^^ I've not ordered one yet so don't know how long it takes. Not heard ANYTHING bad about Kunzmann, I'll be getting mine from them.
:happy2:
-
I ordered mine through kunzmann's eBay site on a Sunday and it was delivered UPS tracked on the Thursday. The only downside was they did not send me the tracking number but they promptly updated the ebay status about shipping and left feedback about me before it was delivered
