My ED30 splitter arrived yesterday but didn't have time to have a look at it till today and have to say it's very well in design so just got to see how it fits once painted  :smiley:

Maybe trial fit it first? Might be worth checking how close it is before you get it painted.

Thanks AJP I may just do that as it's a few screws but first I need to get thay snapped stud out the turbo and undo the other seized one and then see if I get time to do a trial fit at work tomorrow. sh*t just remembered my collegue took the oxy acetylene bottle to his work shop and they're so flicking heavy to roll back over to my work shop  :sad1:

Ahh I've been looking for a reasonably priced front splitter option for a while and the Edition 30 one looks good, thanks for sharing.

Is it quite simple to fit onto our standard GTI front bumper do you know?

Thanks,

Matt.

It's not oem as the lugs that clip into our oem bumpers are lock in style where as this one has flat pieces without the locking tabs so best to maybe put some of your own screws in. Hope someone else who's fitted one can comment?. @mattkgti

Was it @Shoduchi who's fitted one?. Can't remember  :stupid: :signLOL:

Shouldn't you rename your thread "OEM-" rather than "OEM+" then?
