Hey guys,

Not sure if this Q belongs on this thread, but does anyone have a front and/or rear lip on their Golf R (or GTI - is it the same thing?)?

Thanks, Eddie

[SilvrFoxX]

given how low the front spoiler is why would you want a lip

The GTI has a lip, the R doesn't.
As SilvrFoxX mentioned, the front of the R is low enough. It's not specifically that they're very low, they're also a decent distance in front of the wheels. Those two "peaks" below each side of the front central grill are especially problematic, sometimes being already scratched underneath before the customer takes delivery of the car.

So putting a lip inbetween the peaks would be a PITA as far as I'm concerned.

Mine have had a fair few scrapes, putting a lip there would have been as useful as burning money.

Yeah... especially a carbon fibre lip. I've had one before. Whilst with our Golf R bumpers, you scrape them and it's no big deal. You scrape a real carbon fibre bumper, and once you're through the lacquer you have exposed fibres. GOD HELP anyone who then touches that area with their bare hand. I can tell you, I spent 3 hours of pain digging out carbon fibres from my hand and fingers with a needle and jewelers tweezers - and that incident was whilst washing and my hand was covered by a thick lambs wool wash mitt! So dangerous....

[nat225]

lowest point at the front and rear are carbon fibres... everytime i see deep dips, shopping centre ramps, big speed bumps... i see them as my enemies..

my strategies... avoid and run... :p

hey nat, what tailpipe tip is that?

[aVex]

hey nat, what tailpipe tip is that?

Akrapovic.

I didn't think that would slip on to stock exhaust, that must be a full Akrapovic catback.

I'm still looking for titanium tips for my stock cat back.

[nat225]

hey nat, what tailpipe tip is that?

Jason, they're Akrapovic.

part of the catback.. but also sold separately as tail pipe set in either carbon fibre or titanium...

Yup I've scraped both of the "peaks" already. Once was while reversing out of Volkspower. Warning to all potential Volkspower customers!
