Could someone please photoshop me a mk1 golf gti style front splitter?
Possibly with some W&P arches (in body colour)?
Would like to see what the splitter looks like in black and body colour please!! :)

If you mean like the splitter I’ve got on the Mayfair, then it’s not a direct fit to a standard front panel.

I was thinking of modifying a mk1 golf one, how did you do yours?

Yep the green one, well once it’s properly painted.

It’s a non-gti front splitter, the gti ones are far too deep imo. To get it to fit was a bit of work, had to replace the lover half of the front valance with a rear one, weld on some brackets and blend it all in to hide the gap/s.

does sound like a lot of work!!!
looked at the abs motorsport ones but they're only for use with sportpacks by the looks of it!!
Is your splitter a metal one?
I was hoping to find some way of attaching it with some self tappers!!haha
:)

Would still like to see it photoshopped though!! cheers.

Nope it’s a plastic one, think all golf ones are.

And I think the picks of mine start from about page 4 onwards in the mayafir project thread.

That looks pretty much the same as the golf ones, just in steel.

That's great! does it flap about a lot?
Looks pretty easy (for someone who knows how to weld).
Might have to give it a go as a first welding project!!
