    Cracked front lip HELP

    Hi everyone, I have cracked the front lip of my partner's car. It's a 2016 GTI 40 years.

    I was wondering if anyone could recommend a place to get it fixed? (western suburbs in Melbourne)

    I'm also confused about whether it needs to be fixed with the original part that came with the car, or if a different front lip could be fitted on? Thank you everyone.

    Looks cactus to me , wont be cheap to fix, plenty on EBAY not specific around $150 , its a 3 part piece so its only the middle , ask your dealer how much .
    I get paranoid around gutters when i approach an intersection in my 40years , very low .

      I doubt you will find anyone who will attempt to repair that - you will have to purchase a new front lip. As mentioned above, the lip is in 3 separate sections and you have damaged the middle section.

      Not sure if this is the correct replacement part as its listed for the Clubsport model - you might need to check with the shop selling it. GTI Clubsport Front Splitter MIDDLE
      – Track Hack Parts       Although I do believe its the correct part (the car was only called 40 yrs here in Australia and Clubsport everywhere else in the world - because Holden/HSV have trademarked the name Clubsport)

        Thank you for getting back to me!

        Yeah it’s probably not fixable. I meant more “replace” than fix.

        I’ve tried searching for the part in australia but can’t seem to find the same one the product in the link looks exactly like what I need but doesn’t ship To aus.

        Does anyone know where I could find a part that could ship to aus?? Or a name/item to search as I have tried generic searches of front lip/golf gti etc and can’t find that product you linked. Thank you

            That is so weird. I put in my address in Melbourne earlier and it said the item could not be shipped to that address. I’ll contact them though and just d double check. Thank you so much 😊
