In debate as to which front splitter to go for, vote in the poll
leaning towards the rieger one as ive only ever seen it on a white gti guy called Andy on edition38 forum looked awsome.

I have LCR also. Looks great. I'd recommend that or the BlueMotion.
The BlueMotion would have been my first choice had I not bought the car with the LCR already fitted. It's really grown on me though.

Tim how is yours fitted do you know?? is it just self tapping screws?? IIRC the bluemotion splitter is around £150 or so primed, so paint on top of that as well...

Yeh tap in screws mate.
I guessed the BM splitter would be a tad pricey.
That's the good thing about the LCR, it's ready to go with no paint.
Plus with the BM it means you have to be ultra careful with it being the lowest point of the car, as paint isn't as forgiving as plastic!!

the votex one is one you can get from the dealers but probs taken down their pics from the website as the new polo is out now.. just a guess..
and tim - valid point might just have to get LCR and be done with it wind it down some more at the front and be done with it lol do you know how many screws yours has got? as I dont want it falling off over a speed bump lol

I don't know off the top of my head, but I can check.
Falling off won't be a problem, just ensure that you've used a fair few on yours!
I've only had one issue with my splitter catching (which was only minor), and the terrain was horrendous

I've got the LCR splitter on mine, 8 self tapping screws holding it on. Needs bending round the bumper as it's a bit too wide and a couple of inches need cutting off the ends. Looks pretty good but was a bit of a job getting it lined up correctly, although it's pretty cheap to do so can't complain really!
I also considered the bluemotion splitter in satin black before doing mine but as you say, the price kind of put me off.
