View Full Version : Fitting LCR splitter

Fitting LCR splitter (Leon Cupra) to a seat Ibiza.


LCR splitter (part number =1ML805903) £20 aprox normally slightly less.
25mm self-drilling/tapping screws £3 B&Q
Black silicon Sealer £8 B&Q



Right well I thought as I had asked a lot of questions about fitting this part, it is probably an idea that I make a guide and help other people out too. Please excuse the pictures they aren’t too great but they give the general idea.

Firstly I will start by telling you to make sure you have plenty of room as this job can be fiddly, also an extra person would help here or masking tape. If you can raise the front of the car this would also help as it will give you more room under the car.

http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/9947/dsc00121ji4.jpg

• Start by cutting off the plastic Vs on in the middle of the splitter as these do not hook in as they are not on the Ibiza. You may also want to consider screwing the self tapping screws through the ridges on the splitter these are the best parts to use as they are slightly more reinforced, note putting the screws towards the lip on the splitter will help as it will pull the splitter in and keep a smaller gap than if you put it further back.

http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/9241/dsc00124yb0.jpg

• You will also want to cut some of the splitter off at either side don’t cut too much off, but cut enough off to allow more movement, you can always cut some more off later (I removed the hack saw blade and cut it just using that as not to damage the tyres).
• I next lined the splitter up, proper alignment is with the Vs in-between the metal posts central, that’s where mine are hope this makes some sense should when you have a look. Then your best bet is to masking tape the splitter up to the bumper, so that middle bit is attached pretty well, now comes the fiddly part if you have some strength and a decent size screw driver if you haven’t raised the car. The best thing to do here would be to drill I pilot hole, which I didn’t because I didn’t raise the car.

http://img123.imageshack.us/img123/5619/dsc00127jf2.jpg

• Here comes the screwing part I put the screws through the splitter and left them through with just the a little point through the edge before attempting to attach splitter to the bumper, there is also a personal preference point to note here, aligning how far back you want the splitter would be a good idea here as well before you put the screws in, mine was just a little bit off (about 1cm) the under lip where the bumper joins, putting it too far back makes the job rather pointless and 2 far forward looks crap. Once you have this sorted, screw in the middle 2 screws do this 1st and try to keep them even i.e. the same level so one side isn’t coming off at an angle as this will affect the whole splitter and put it out, i.e. 1 side out more than another.
• Next you want to work your way round both sides bending and screwing in the splitter to the size you want, once this is done you should cut off the excess around the wheel arches.
• Now with this finished it is probably a good idea as there will be some gaps to go around and fill them in with the black sealer, this matches well and just finishes it off perfect.

Couldnt get final pic as my cars in garage and couldnt get far enough back but take a look around looks cool, al take a pic when I get a chance outside.

Anyway there’s my guide hope it helps people, its not a hard mod but I think any help that people get before doing a mod is a good idea, even if it does just save a few mins.

Just to note you DONT remove the "V"s totally. U need them cut down a bit or u have nothing to screw into in the middle

Guinness
19-02-2007, 12:20
obviously you dont remove them out the plastic u just cut em down. O and I only used one screw for the middle to allow it to move with some freedom if it scraped on anything

CJFR
19-02-2007, 12:38
Have ya got a pic? Cant understand how u put just one screw through the middle
If u put a screw through each of the "V"s its solid enough to take a hit.

Guinness
19-02-2007, 12:50
actually I think I took the middle one out, come to think of it will have a look later on. Didnt bother attaching it on the Vs cut them off and screwed it on around leaving the middle bit without any, so if it hit a curb or anythign like that it can move and hopefully wont rip anything off, being as that is the most likely part to hit

CJFR
19-02-2007, 13:25
Ah rite. Woz just wondering cause took the screws outta the middle bit of mine to see if it held itself up and it jst dropped all saggy like. But hey to each his own

Guinness
19-02-2007, 13:31
ah I put lots of screws in and sealed it. so didnt sag

will this splitter fit 2003 pre face lift 1.9 130 tdi sport, or will it need to be modified. good pics though

Guinness

they always need to be modified matey, but yes it will fit with not much work

How much of the middle V's do you remove? just the bits that clip in or is it a certain measure?
cheers

Guinness
21-04-2008, 00:15
just a little bit. I usualy remove just a little bit less than the amount that would make the Vs level with the sides meaning the Vs are slightly but only a little bit higher than the sides of the splitter.

12-07-2008, 21:56
Really easy to fit, i took to much off the middle so had barely anything to screw into so used a 2penny sized spacer. dodgy i know had the car on a trolley jack on oneside and it lifted the car enough to get underneith allround. aligned the splitter to the middle of the car, screwed it from the middle out, pritty easy to see where best to put the screws in, i think i used about 5 each side with the 2 in the middle.

Couldnt find my tripod but heres a rough picture, its such an improvement! (also accidently deleted half my damn photos so only have this under exposed one with flash on :() *world most awful photo on a 400d canon.

I am crying out to get my car lowered though the standard ride height sucks.

can I just confirm that you've all drilled/screwed into the paintwork underneath the bumper?
And also, "mine was just a little bit off (about 1cm) the under lip where the bumper joins".
What under lip are you talking about? The only 'lip' under my bumper is a good few inches back, if I put the splitter about 1cm off that I wouldn't be able to see it!

Thank you

bbewekim
02-08-2008, 15:27
mine drilled into unpainted plastic part of the bumper at the bottom :). just place it where you think best :d but dont forget if you have it to far forward it may tilt up or look odd as it will be drilled on an angle.

Travis
02-08-2008, 17:34
hmmm, well I've done it, wasn't an unpainted part though.

I think it looks good myself, was sure I would mess it up but I like it!

i didn't get any gaps but may be because i didn't make pilot holes...i had it held in place by a mate and made the hole with the screw...i also put 2 screws in each of the first 2 "V's" either side of the centre gap bit just to reinforce as bending it round puts a bit of strain on the middle

Hi all,

I bought my LCR splitter last weekend and have come to fit it today (got my dad to help), but when holding it up against the bumper its shape is nowhere near the shape/radius of my bumper (05 ibiza cupra), especially in the middle where the splitter is straight and the bumper curves.

Am i right in thinking i need to bend it round at either end to pull it in-line with the radius and the front will not quite follow? (Bit of a newby to the modding scene so apologies if i seem a bit simple :-) )

Any help would be great.
Cheers

Jille
23-08-2008, 17:11
yes, it requires some bending... it's wise to do the fitting job with some assistance of someone else, so he can keep it into place while you fasten the screws.

Alex 17
26-09-2008, 23:19
Right! Iv come too getting some courage 2 fit my splitter ,As im scared i will mess up... Ok so looking at it theere are the 2 V things on ea middle side.. as said... I no i have too cut theys but if there cut 2 as low as u say theres nothing 2 drill? its hollow exsept a __ In it if i cut below that theres nothing 2 screw into! Do i cut this that low so i dont have anything or?? pics would be helpfull :O

Guinness
28-09-2008, 21:48
you need to cut the V part down until it is inline with the rest of the splitter then screw into the lower valance on the bumper.

Alex 17
29-09-2008, 00:25
you need to cut the V part down until it is inline with the rest of the splitter then screw into the lower valance on the bumper.

So u dont screw through where the v's were just around it? cos if i cut it that low theres nothing in the V 2 cut through :)

Very Helpful thread this!! Fitted mine a few months ago and looks spot on.

It is down to your own personal taste as to what sort of angel you want the splitter at, just make sure you have enough self tapping screws - i used 8 bought from homebase (little ones).

Another personal tatse is weather you want to use balck coloured sealent once fitted, i personally didn't use any.

want to fit my splitter but i cant raise the car the pilot holes i need to drill do these go in both the splitter and the front bumper or just the splitter? and if its just the splitter when i screw into the bumper wont it crack as its fibre glass? thanks

Nick_J
24-01-2009, 19:45
I drilled pilot holes only into the splitter. You position the splitter so the centres of the bumper and splitter are inline, then i worked from there.
I used 15 or 20mm 3.5mm Self tappers so pretty small, didnt do pilot holes in my bumper, as we were holding the splitter in location and fixing it there and then.

Hope this helps

I didn't raise my car just did it on my drive with a good old screw driver (although my hands were in pain after i spent the few hours doing it).

It will be benefitial if you do pilot holes, the bumper wonn't crack if you use a small screw/drill piece on a slow setting!! :)

Similar with Nick_A, i didnt raise my car, I reversed my whole car up a kurb (using some ramps!), with just the front bumper hanging off the edge, gives abit more room :)

NickyJam
25-01-2009, 17:54
i wouldn't recommend pilot holes in the bumper as the self-tapping screws are designed to make the hole themselves for a tight fit...the splitter will be more secure this way :)

i bought the lcr splitter and attempted ot fit it today but my god was it a mess...i have the ibiza cupra tdi, and at the bottom of my bumper there is a bit which sticks out at both sides, so when trying to attach the splitter it was'nt sitting flush the whole way round...anyone else had the same problem with the cupre?I'll take pics in the morning and maybe that will explain it more...

I made 4 spacers to even up the bottom of the splitter (2 on each side). I cut 4 equal pieces of copper pipe....roughly 2cm long, and sandwiched them in the gap by driving a screw through them. You can just about see two in this pic below

http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd36/Altech_2007/P1000051.jpg

Also make sure that you don't cut the two tabs in the middle of the splitter too much, otherwise it'll push up in the middle. I sprayed the spacers black too so they don't stand out. Hope that helps

i see...ok that makes a little more sense...so basically your saying fit the splitter on the bits that stick out and then fill the gaps in with a few spacers??
how hard is it to take the front bumper off? would you mind running through it, cheers :)

Yes, use spacers to stop the splitter warping upwards in the middle.

It's better not to remove the bumper when fitting the splitter as the bumper can flex and would make fitting it quite difficult.

just to make it a lil clearer...the spacers are only recommended for Cupra facelift bumper due to the small lips on either end

P.S. I fitted mine about an inch back so it would sit lower.

If you want i can post a pic of the splitter on the prefacelift bumper while its off the car, as mine has been gathering dust for a good while. (i'll sell it if you're it interested, comes with the FR grills and fogs)

Few Q's for those in the know.. I've cut down the V's so they are flush now, bit messy but will sandpaper them to neaten it up.

Do I sit the middle 2 pieces flush up against the small lip that is at the back of the bumper? How much do I need to cut back off each piece near the wheels?

Anyone near Stoke fancy fitting it me?! :D:D

Sit it about 1cm back from the front of the bumper, too far back and it is pointless in fitting it as you wont see it.
The centre part in between the 2 Vs needs to be aligned with the centre of your bumper....I would recommend masking taping it on then standing back to judge it properly.
U shouldnt have to cut the ends off until you fully fitted it....I didnt anyway.
And it looks awesome!!
Hope this helps..........;)

If you get a screw with a big enough head you can screw it up through the narrow part of the V to hold it in place.

Looks good.

However, I fitted an LCR splitter to my last Golf R32 mk4 and I would personally say you have used way too many screw there. Should you ever hit anything that will make a totally mess of the bumper.

I ripped the splitter off my R32 and luckily I only put it on with 4 screws so it was great that it just broke straight off and caused no damage to the bumper. Any more screws and there would have been some serious damage to my bumper.

I can appreciate your car may not have clearance issues, in which case fairplay. Just dont think theres any need for that many fixings.

got mine yesterday, hoping to get it done this evening or at some stage this week. so how much should you cut the two middle parts down to?

CJFR
29-09-2010, 16:08
Depends on the bumper you're attaching it to Maverick. On the facelift bumper the middle bits need to be level with the sides if you know what i mean.

I got the sprit level out and marked it that way. Easy peasy.

Maverick08
29-09-2010, 17:01
so the top nib on them are completely removed? and then its cut down again from there to go level?

CJFR
29-09-2010, 19:00
Aye, lay something long and flat across the 2 side bits across the middle of the splitter, mark it, give it a rough cut, test fit, bit of a sand down and then screw the beast on, cut sides off. Job done. lol Oh and forgot, take pic, post on readers rides.

from experience of fitting this to my FR, its all about making pilot holes in the splitter.

first leave about an inch of the centre 2 'V's remaining then drill a 5mm hole into the small tabs on the back of the splitter

when your putting it onto your car, you may not need to use all of the tabs to secure it

BUT make sure that you work your way round from the centre to each wheel arch and zigzag your way across the bumper to make sure it all aligns right, although this may have just been me being fussy about accuracy :D

also a recommendation, when you screw into the bumper, use 'penny washers' to make sure that the splitter has support if its knocked (so it wont rip off as easily)

i used 10 gauge 1.5" self tappers and they were a B**** to make bite so 8 gauge will probably be sufficient :D

oh and the amount you cut off at the wheel arch and what shape you do it to is up to you and your personal choice :)

hope this helps anyone who is worrying about doing it :D

Are there any other types of splitter that fit the FR bumper as I don't like the look of the LC on?

No dude, if you take the bumper off it loses its ridgity/shape. It's a lot easier to do it with the bumper on the car.

Facelift or pre?

the lcr splitter looks horrendous on the mk4 cupra bumper because of the shape of the bottom corners.

but they don't look to bad on the fr bumper because the bumpers flush around the the bottom.
i thought they were the same bumper.i didn't realize until closer inspection that there not.lucky i didnt go and buy a splitter.

Where you live mate? Done mine last week from the helpful guide here. Was easy, would recommend small cordless driver. Then you don't need to jack vehicle up.

think this looks better with the center lugs still in place and not cut off.

I was tempted but with it slightly catching certain speeds humps and stone chips never bothered.

Think it sticks out in black a lot better, really sets the front end off.

Pretty sure I paid £24 inc vat from Newcastle tps about a month ago. That was trade price like not sure on what retail is. You can get them on eBay which a similar oe spec I believe.

This is something I hope to get done this summer along with an endless list of others mods. But this one does make such a difference it's going to be sooner rather than later.

Overpriced from seat if you ask me, nearly £50 from my local dealer, I only payed £25 a few years ago when I put one on the corsa.

I'll get a price from my local dealer and see what I think. It still smartens up the front of the car so it's still worth considering.
