Yes it is! Its quite a good fit but lowers the clearance at the front by another 20mm. Need to be extra careful entering driveways and negotiating speed humpseMiL-VR6 wrote:Is that the Kercher splitter?

Re: Scirocco R Invasion Down Under
If you ripped the splitter off on a speedbump, do you reckon it would damage the underneath of the front bumper? because im quite low already but want this splitter so if i did go for it, chances are at somepoint it will get taken out haha!Rev 555 wrote:Yes it is!

Re: Scirocco R Invasion Down Under
I bought mine through a distributor in Australia for around $450 Australian so that price from Kerscher sounds about right in Euro.eMiL-VR6 wrote:Sweet! Do you have any more pics on just the splitter?

Re: Scirocco R Invasion Down Under
The splitter is held on by about 12 bolts so its not going to come off in a hurry. The CF will just shatter I think and the front grills left or right will pop off. These are just clipped in.BenTheWombRaider wrote:If you ripped the splitter off on a speedbump, do you reckon it would damage the underneath of the front bumper? because im quite low already but want this splitter so if i did go for it, chances are at somepoint it will get taken out haha!

Re: Scirocco R Invasion Down Under
A few updates this week, firstly the VW Motorsport LSD I ordered 4 months ago finally arrived and was fitted earlier in the week. Whilst the gearbox was out I took the liberty to upgrade the clutch packs (SSP400HP) as well.
I also upgraded my coil overs from the KW DCC to the Clubsports. Naturally pulling the DSG out stressed me out no end but all that disappeared when I took the car out for an initial drive. Why our cars didn't come standard with LSD is beyond me, the grip is phenomenal and steering is now sharper and more precise. The ride is a lot firmer but the car is transformed.
I will write a full review once I get the chance to bed the clutches in for the next 500 miles...but its really hard not to floor it at every corner.

Re: Scirocco R Invasion Down Under
Probably the best looking/modified Scirocco I have ever seen, considering I saw a matt grey scirocco the other week that looked like it was not being looked after, looking at yours I am very envious, fantastic car, very jealous! Still very early days for me in the modifying stages. Well done mate.

Re: Scirocco R Invasion Down Under
ha ha I like the extra grip the suede gives. In hindsight though I should have gone for a grey suede and white stitching, luckily I have a spare steering wheel..Eldric wrote:this scirocco is mind boggling i cant congratz u enough .
