Hi mate, i've got both splitter so i'll check for you.

From what I can gather, the splitter on the 16v is the same length but it sticks out more. This means that the 8v won't reach end to end to the sides of the 16v bumpers. Sorry I can't be much more help, it's torrential out there and both pieces are outside

Cheers mate.
It seems looking at the bottom of the 16v bumper there is a groove along the bottom that it looks something would slide into.
Anyone got a close-ish shot of the front bumper?
Thanks

its a different splitter mate, its bigger than the 8 valve, altho its the same width. You'll need to get one, mine was about Â£15 from vw
