Ok, so Ill ask again. Of the people who have put the lip on did you use a regular MKIII lip or a VR6 lip? Ive got a guy willing to ship one to me but I dont want to buy it if it is the wrong lip.

I think the VR6 and the other MKIII's have the same lip... I just specified that mine came off a VR6... I'm not 100% positive on this though, you could always check on vwvortex.com

That red ti is mine

The front lip I'm using is from any US MKIII Golf or Jetta - including VR6 models. In order to get the longer lip you will need to order a Euro MKIII VR6 lip. There are 2 versions of the euro VR6 lip. Italian knock offs for $70 that break really easy and the stronger OEM ones are about $120. I suggest the US lip - its way cheaper ($20 or so used), can take a beating, and looks better IMO. Most VW drivers swap the US lip for the euro VR6 one, so it's fairly easy to get a used US one.

I have had mine on for over a year now and it's held up very well. I run H&R coilovers and my car is very low - even without the VW lip. If I can find a nice set of 16" style 42 wheels I'll crank my coils even lower

The clips are in the same spot on the vr lip and the stock lip. They are also the exact same size left to right, the vr lip is about 1" lower than stock. I had a vr euro lip on my MKIII is looks much better than stock.

For those that want a real Euro VR lip I highly suggest Pottermans. I ordered 90% of my VW parts from them, great customer service.
