Splitters Fitted

nice work jam looking good!

Thats looking mint jam! great job!

How do you get enough clearance under the car to screw the screws upwards, into the Splitter and Bumper?

...I'm starting to think I'll need to ride the front wheels up a couple of those metal ramps, so i can get enough space under the front end to get the job done.

thanks lads, i just used the jack each side in turn

I didn't need to jack mine up. I just used a quarter inch ratchet driver with a screwdriver bit attachment on it.
so it was like a right angle ratchet screwdriver and if you use self tapping screws they go right through the splitter and into the under side of the bumper

well easy

Someone said earlier down this thread that you do not need to cut the two center 'posts' when installing it on the pre-facelift mk4-bumper. I took a look at it myself, and it seems the posts are too high to be fitted underneath the bumper. can anyone clear this one up?

 

[rashcupra]

i thought you dont cut them on the cupra and they need trimming on the fr bumpers

New FR ones need trimming flat with the edge pieces as the FR has a flat ledge to screw to.
