Beautiful.

Once upon a time, my 97 Golf CL had paintwork that looked that good

where do people get lower deep lips from, i ordered two from different sellers on ebay from overseas and they both came too short to connect at the fronts :.(

They all have a 20-30mm gap

Mines the genuine US one (got it from ecs). Has a gap as the US bumpers are proportionally different to our euro ones.
If you buy one from the dealer, you'll get a perfect fit, it's about $150 per a side.

If u look at my driver side lip, it's got these folding marks from it being smashed into/folded from going down steep hills/driven over by multiple cars/4wd ute (my dad used the car once, and came back with that side missing, when he went back for it all these cars an 4wds went over it. On closer inspection the holding spots in bumper broke, instead of the lip tabs :/ )
Goes to show how good the genuine ones are, unlike the eBay ones which break at the sight of a steep ass driveway.
Hayden u got lucky with your eBay one, the mix they must have used for that batch, would have prob been good.

No they don't. Genuine European ones fit tight.

No they don't. Genuine European ones fit tight.

Can confirm they sit very tight, at least the duckbill one. You just need to get the angle and fitting just right, but they'll meet in the end.

the first one i ever bought 4 years ago fitted perfect and i got it from ebay, but yeah i might have to source them from a proper legit website not some knock of crap
