HI boys and girls

Fitted the splitter this weekend but sadly i did not have a camera on me! It was really easy to do just needed to trim it now in length slightly will get some pic up when I get a chance.

only just noticed this post,




you just need to trim about 4-6" off each end of the splitter, and cut the tabs off the middle bit, it will all be very straight forward once you have the splitter infront of you. i put some self tappers in to hold it on, about 6. i wouldnt suggest nuts and bolts to hold it on as you may find it will cause you a problem one day.

I have since taken this splitter off, as i got stuck coming down a steep ramp in a multistorey car park and had to pull it off to actually get out, and then when i put it back on, i got stuck moving the car on and off my drive at my new house.

Well... I finally did it.





Leon splitter on the standard bumper.

What do you think?

that looks good. how much for that then and how long to fit?

:-) that looks good. how much for that then and how long to fit?

£25 from SEAT and it took about an hour to fit. Attaching it was easy, it was the measuring up and positioning that took a while.

how did you attach it mate? screwed or stuck on?

[Paddy]

Wouldnt fancy sticking it on, may not be there for that long.

Anthony do you jst drive it with the front bump strips off? Or are they off to paint?

It's screwed on in 4 places using stainless self tappers.

The trim bits are just off for more paint atm. The original job got stone chipped really badly so they are redoing it for me. I am prepared this time though with some 3M paint protection film that will be going over the shiney new paint job.

Use Ethanol in water rather than soap when doing this. It will evaporate of much quicker.

Sorry not to teach!

Yeah it came with a little kit which included some isopropyl to dilute in water. The instructions with it say I should wait about 2 weeks before applying it to a freshly painted surface, so I have a little while to go yet running nude.

No there are no spacers and the wheels don't protude, I just made sure I had the correct offset wheels to fill the arches out nicely.
