I’m a happy owner of this splitter on a 2018 GTI. totally worth the work, if you are looking for a quality part for the front. Also, I’m lowered on springs, so I’d rather scrape the splitter than the bottom of my bumper.
Not installing a splitter, but this video is very helpful for the fog light and trim pieces I have to replace on my passenger side. Damn raccoon took the fog light and mounting brackets as a souvenir on my vacation.
Thats a lovely colour. Thanks for the DIY. IMO the best front splitter was in the mark 6 GTI 35. I had this on mine and it looked like a bat wing. Do you know anyone that does this for a VW R
Thank you for the video! I just got one for my 2019 GTI. The sensor in the emblem doesn’t need to be recalibrated or anything from being disconnected does it? This video helps very much.
Isn’t this just installing it with a lot of extra steps? I ask mainly because if you even touch the radar in the front it has to be calibrated properly using ODIS
Hey there, this question was asked two years ago but doesn’t look like it was answered. I hope to install on a golf r 7.5. Does the front bumper remove the same watt? I’ve watched 3 videos and they are all different slightly that loosening of 10mm nuts at 3:01 doesn’t happen in the other videos. Is that a requirement for removal and if yes, how do I find it up under the bumper cover and fender piece? Please.
To answer my own question (looks like DAP can’t keep up with question from their massive content) YES, these instruction for removing the front bumper cover are precisely correct for a MK7.5 Golf R as well. Those 10mm “nuts” at 3:01 are more like screws with a 10mm head that screw into a white plastic block. There are two on search side. If you remove all of the wheel wheel Torx screws first it is really easy to see the “screws” and loosen them. Don’t need to take them out, just Nice and loose. Be sure to tighten them as step one, before all of the torx screws when you are reassembling. The golf R has a plug on the drivers side for the proximity sensors and you will need to unplug the cable connection for that. It is much easier as a two person job.
I bought a maxdon design front splitter for my golf gti mk7.5 when I am at speeds of say 90 + mph the whole front end vibrates , which is due to the wind , very disappointed 😕
You dont just Drill screws thru the splitter like shown in the vid. This isnt the right thing to do. You have to counter the screws from the back side and add 6 more screws. Went past 250kmh and nothing vibrates or so. I love the maxton splitter!
@@mudguts7425 I wouldn’t say their garbage matey ! maybe you didn’t put enough bolts/screws through the splitter to bumper maybe ? But if I had a choice again I wouldn’t buy a maxton I would buy a specific German one 😉 ott _______😄
People better think twice before splurging money on this. In Texas, this will NOT last as you won't be able to exit parking lots and gas stations without DESTROYING it. I don't even have an aftermarket splitter and my OEM dam looks like someone took a sander to it and the side plastic sections are about to fall off. I wouldn't recommend buying an MVII Golf if you live in Texas. It isn't totally flat.
Thanks for the instal vid but the juice ain’t worth the squeeze. Plus I HATE the fact they put their branding badge on the splitter front and center. 🤮
All that work + $ invested for just a sad 1.5 inch lip? I got the MAXTON and it cost 225.00. Took me ONE hour to install and is sticking out THREE full inches and it comes with 2 rods. *I never remove a bumper before. Don't feel intimidated,is very EZ. *2018 GTI SE
This was the 2nd video that you guys removed the Front Grille and NEVER showed how you unclipped the tabs. It proves that it is a PITA and will hurt your sales - because of the PITA it is to remove that grille. “Buy a Splitter NOW! We don’t give $.02 if you can install it or not!” LMFAO
DAP vids > Anything on TV. Thanks for the continued content.

That blue color looks sweet on the MK7.5 GTI! If you added the dark Euro taillights the package would be complete.
Looks so good! I just ordered a V2 diffuser, so maybe this is my next play. Thanks for the video 👍👍
Just ordered mine. Can’t wait to put it on
damn that looks good in blue..... have a '19 grey rabbit that I got a few months ago.... killer car for the money
the music! so nice

omg i love the color... currently own a mk7 gti in dark red :D i might even love this color more
such a beautiful colour car.
Help me out here what is that bottom plastic part between the two fog lights connecting the bottom bumper part called?? Can’t find this anywhere
Great video install. Cameraman looked bored as hell 😛

Does the battery need to be disconnected for vehicles with parking sensors? Would it make this job impossible to do?
Thank you for the video! I just got one for my 2019 GTI. The sensor in the emblem doesn’t need to be recalibrated or anything from being disconnected does it? This video helps very much.
It's recommended though. A millimeter of difference would throw this off its original specs
Since you removed the grill and radar sensor for the adaptive cruise control does it need to be recalibrated upon refitting?
This
Beautiful
Would it be possible to install the splitter without detaching the front bumper? Thinking of buying one soon.

That’s not very noticeable for the effort that you go through but it looks aggressive.
Not noticeable if you don't know what's there but if you know it's there it's noticeable 🤔🤔🤔
Simple Man car guys will definitely see it but the average person cant tell.
Should I get this splitter or the flow design one?
Going to install mine once the weather warms up, thanks for the tips. What rims are you running?
Rotiform LAS-R
Does this work for the Golf R 7.5 aswell?
I see they have kw coilovers. I wonder if they ride like crap like mine do. KW really messed up the rear tuning on the gti.
We used Bilstein
Deutsche Auto Parts my bad. I thought they looked like the kw color scheme.

What kind of radar detector? Did you have a video about that? Installation or of what kind you choose?
GreySun it’s from the factory, senses vehicle distance for safety if tailgating someone.
Radar. Not Radar detector.
I love that cornflour blue... scratch that, I need that cornflour blue. How much can I get for my 2017 on a trade in lol
Not as much as u paid for it
Yeah ...I bought night blue ...now I’m loving that cornflower blue..
can you put a mk7.5 R bumper on a mk7.5 gti rabbit?
I bought a maxdon design front splitter for my golf gti mk7.5 when I am at speeds of say 90 + mph the whole front end vibrates , which is due to the wind , very disappointed 😕

Maxton design stuff is garbage. I had a front splitter on my 2016 scirocco r and it lasted about a week. The car was standard ride height.

But if I had a choice again I wouldn’t buy a maxton I would buy a specific German one 😉 ott _______😄
For a much easier diy just use self tapping screws with a washer and screw through the bumper underneath
please do not do this

Thanks for posting this video definitely convince me not to get this splitter.... All that blood sweat and tears for that itty-bitty lip?

They have ones that are full black.
Good.

Honestly doesn’t look that good for the amount of work you need to put into it.
Jace MK7 disagree. Not hard to put on. Looks cool
Mason Griffith never said hard. Just said amount of work
@@JacesOwnWorld facts
It does look waaay better than without one though
@@hamsammich8420 yeah what's the point of the rods is it just looks her does it help your radio get a better reception? 🤔
