Maxton Design got 2 new designs for the facelift Mk3 (3.5)
I’m torn between one of these 2 and the Rieger- anyone got one of these 2 above? If so what are they like to fit? I’ve heard that the Rieger fits like a glove and even uses the existing bumper holes for ease of fitment.

Can’t speak for the Maxton splitters but I recently fitted the Rieger one and it was a piece of cake. IMO it fits snug to the body and looks the business. I went for the gloss black one.
Fit to existing 4 self tapping screws under the front bumper. This allows you to then drill another 18 3mm holes to fix the remaining self tapping screws.
It is removable and holes can not be seen without getting under the car.
I'm wondering if this would fit the carbon edition...

I doubt it but why would you want to? The carbon edition splitter is the best of the lot- It doesn’t need anything else IMO.
Its not as low as the others, as fits on the front of the bumper, not underneath. So makes the front end higher off the ground.
I can see what you mean, I think you’ll struggle to find one that protrudes as far out as your carbon, personally I think it looks great as is- something underneath on yours wouldn’t look right IMO
@Damo H
Would you be able to do me a favour please and let me know the part no for your carbon front splitter? I'm trying to see whether there is a difference between the R and the carbon edition. Cheers

Out of 10 how sure are you? As it looks like there are recessed holes in the Cupra R Splitter to screw through to the arches.
Just realised the rest of my response was missing!
11 as had @padd6789's car along side mine and there is small gap between the arch and splitter. Doesn't show in the press photos.

Just to add into this conversation I went to a track day on Monday and met a very nice guy in a Golf MK7 Type R who had problems with his splitter. The issue he faced was that he went over a bump at speed and "It caused the Splitter to pull down and under the car". It did not come off but when he got back he took the splitter off as it looked like it was going to damage the front bumper. Personally I did over 140 and had no issues so can only assume this is down to being unlucky and or bad fit. Whatever you go for make sure its fitted snugly and that any gaps are filled with appropriate sealant to stop any problems.
