It's a recurrent question and there are already too many topics with an answer to it. :wink:
An example: http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,94073.msg941292.html#msg941292 (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,94073.msg941292.html#msg941292)
You can either get this splitter:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311234686059 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311234686059)
Or this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171578195007 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171578195007)
Should be the same. I know the 1st store has quality items because both my splitters were bought there. :happy2:

you got that one from Poland? how did it fit?
-
No, I got the parts from Germany. It's the 2nd store that has parts made in Poland.
-
I've bought that very splitter, should be here tomorrow. I'll let you know what it's like when it arrives though probably won't be able to get it painted for a week or so.

Any news on that splitter?
-
It arrived this Monday and it looks to be OK but not fitted it to the car yet so can't really advise on fitment just yet. Might be able to test fit it tomorrow but probably look at getting it on next week.

Any news yet matey. :happy2:

Test fitted today and it's not good news, the splitter is too short and doesn't meet the ends of the bumper properly, it's off by quite a lot tbh. Going to have to do a bit of fiddling to get it looking half decent. I'm going to message the seller to see it I can get some money back but it doesn't fit anywhere near as nice as the OEM ed30 splitter.
-
Sorry to know that @Wash (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=10761).
So for anyone interested, get the splitter from the German shop: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311234686059 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311234686059). This fits well.

Glad I purchased this one then! (Just today!)

Atm I have an older version fitted in reinforced glass fiber (link: www.ebay.de/itm/271733940484 (http://www.ebay.de/itm/271733940484)). You can look at the pictures of it in my project. I damaged it a bit while getting out of a steep driveway.
I bought one from this store in ABS plastic and I'm waiting to have an opportunity to get it fitted. If you'd like to wait, I'll show photos when I get it done. The feedback is the best and I've bought other stuff from this store and I have no complaints.

will be happy to know the quality and fitment as i'm looking at the same one and from same seller :smiley: :happy2:

Got any picks of this?
i was looking at the ed30 replica lip for the standard (pre face lift) bumper as i prefere it to the votex lip, and its made by the same people you got yours from.
thats the only one i can find for the standard front bumper :(

Can't find the abs one in their store?

Can't find the abs one in their store?
I now recommend getting this splitter, which is the same I bought: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311234686059 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311234686059).

@Shoduchi (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=10590) any updates on the splitter? :happy2:

@K9 (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=6852): Not yet because I want to get it fitted while repairing my roof that a tree branch damaged. The insurance company of the property isn't willing to pay so I got my attorney to solve it. That unfortunately takes time. <_<

yeah i can belive it!. any pics of the splitter un-painted?

I got it months ago but didn't take any picture. When I unpacked it to see how it looked the overall shape seemed fine. Just like the one I have atm, so I packed it again.
If you prefer to wait, I'll get it fitted and share pictures afterwards. I won't change anything else that I already have planned in this GT Sport as I'm in the process of buying an Eddie.

I don't think this helps much - but this the one from funtuning...

So I got mine today and I'm impressed and not impressed - let me explain...
I have black lowers on my cw GTI so I wanted the ed30 look but in black. This is so not oem looking. It is a rigid plastic painted black.
It is a good quality but I can't do the car an injustice and leave it black - for that reason I'm not installing it.
If I had painted lowers and I was going to colour code this splitter than perfect, I just saved £200 over buying original.
Anyone fancy taking this off my hands for half price then pm me... I can't be bothered posting it back to Germany.
Some pics.

@bluo (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=9939): Yes, these splitters are meant to be sanded and painted. If I knew you were after the OEM looking crude plastic, I'd have warned you that this plastic isn't like the OEM black plastic parts. Like you already know, the Ed. 30 doesn't have crude black plastic parts visible. :/

@Shoduchi (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=10590) how will it be attatched to the bumper? the seller told me it only need to be glued on?
-
@K9 (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=6852) It's screwed. I saw that some fixing points needed to be drilled but that should be easy. Who fits mine just needs to copy what's done with the reinforced fiberglass one that I have at the moment.

Should i trial fit my splitter before getting it painted? Will it be screwed with the oem screws from the old splitter and no glue as seller told me?

I think it only gets screwed to the bumper and the lower engine protection. But can't you get it fitted in the shop with experience in mk5 GTI? It should be the same to fit this splitter and the normal one. :confused:

I prefer mine painted black, I have it in both my Golfs. But it's a personal preference. The OEM look is all the same colour.

I ordered the one from Germany. Test fitted it and brought it to the painter. Friday it will be ready.

It does not fit as good as I thought it would. The fitment is good, not perfect. I am sure that there isn't a aftermarket ed30 lip that will fit as perfect as I want it to fit. I will post some more pictures this weekend.

hmm.. can't it be modded with some cutting if your a handyman?
how was the fittment behind it? old out new in?
-
You need to be very handy to be able to fit it perfect. Friday I will take some time to fit it better.
Old out, new in. But I didn't screwed it.

Perfect! Do you think its worth the money? Im about to order it now :happy2:

If you're willing to accept that the fitment would not be 100% perfect it's definitely worth the money. I'm happy with it.

@TheDGM (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=7501) So would you say that the version in fiberglass reinforced with plastic has a better fitment? :confused:

@Shoduchi (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=10590) which version is yours?

@samiul11 (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=9775) Those pics were taken with the splitter in fiberglass reinforced with plastic but I damaged it, so I have the German ABS version in a box at home waiting to be painted.
