Thanks i will checkI use Tigerseal or Stikaflex for spoilers, etc - remains flexible but keeps things in place
Most bodyshops will recommend either of these - can be found on ebay

Hi
My Rieger splitter arrived today ready for fitting this weekend. Did you use the 6 spring clips supplied and if so could you get behind the bumper to fit them with it on the car? Did you use silicone and if so did you use it all the way around the top?
Thanks

I used about 4 as already said with the bumper on the car. Mind you I had the advantage of my nieces bf having a garage with a car ramp so was easy to get underneath.
I did use silicon and followed the full length of the splitter to help seal it from dirt and water trapping.

As property maintenance guy normal quality clear silicon was.more than enough strong.
For blade i ordered teroson factory glue.
Ah good - got some black sealant which i was going to reseal around the kitchen worktop = priorities now changed
Seat not sell just the cover if missing complete blade need it £360Blades arrived missing small cover parts
Anyone can help with part number end of the blade cover?
Thanks
Fitted Rieger front splitter today, managed to get6 tabs on the back of the screws (with bumper on) - easier if you remove the screws in the front wheel arch liner so you can see the top of the bumper
I installed mine in the same way - I could do pull-ups hanging from the splitter, so it is fair to say it would take some serious effort for it to come loose.
Mine has been in for over half an year and still feels just as tight (I checked yesterday).
Did you use any of the spring washers behind? mine feels solid with fitting several of them
No pal I used the hex head self tapers which have the rubber washer pre installed on them like the ones in the picture

This front splitter thread has been immensely useful in planning for the upcoming Mk3.5 300 but I am wondering, does anyone have full before & after pictures of their cars, not only with the front splitter changed but also perhaps the side skirts and rear spoiler? Thinking of going for a pretty agressive look with lowering springs after winter season aswell. Trying to get more inspiration

I had a TRC splitter on my old Fiesta, perfect fit and looked great - managed to catch it a couple of times at the Ford dealers (awkward slope) but it didn't crack.
The Leon splitter is Rieger - not sure what it's made from but it isn't low enough to catch
I think ABS is more flexible so wont crack as easy as fiberglass which is a cheap material
TRC on Fiesta

ABS plastic, as the name implies, is hard plastic similar to the material original bumpers on car are made.
Fiberglass is more rigid and can break and crack, also more susceptible to stone stone damage.
Personally, I would never buy a a fiberglass part, but each to their own...
