LCR Splitter

My LCR seems to be missing it's splitter!

Hopefully going to pick one up on Saturday and get it fitted.

Is it just a case of clipping on, on the LCR?

Cheers.

 

[shaun.]

looks nice mate yeah the splitters just clip on some of them are pretty tight to clip in but just push a bit harder lol

Cheers mate, might do that at the dealership then lol!

So I can have a nice 40 mile trip home with the splitter on

It helps if you put a jack under the middle bit then jack it up, it will pop inti place.

Nice looking car too

Nice car, i saw this advertised the other week. I'm in the market for a new LCR, got a few to look at the weekend. so fingers crossed. Love the alpine HU, always liked alpine gear.

How much did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking? No worries if you do.

Yeah, it's a lovely car to be fair.

Aye I noticed your RR thread, bad luck matey. Something will come along soon.

Also will PM about price etc.

Yeah the alpine HU is decent, it's been in all of my SEAT's lol...

Alpine CDA-9887R - decent mate.

 

[TheBigGM]

Took a cheeky picture while filling it up for the 1st time.

£40 looks like it's going to get me 200 odd miles. (V Power) - miss the derv for the mpg

 

[knight]

I was just gonna ask how you felt about the economy compared to the other Seats. I used to have a 150PD Golf. It could easily do double the MPG of my LCR.

Yea mate, I'm taking it easy on the way to work and back, then will let the animal loose on the weekends lol..

So far I've done 90 miles (since Tuesday night) and it says I have 130 left. Not sure if the trip computer lies to you though lol!

Yea mate, I'm looking to be stage 1 by the summer.

My cars missing the front splitter at the moment so will be picking one up on Saturday morning. Will also be fitting the HID kit & matching side lights sometime next week!

Apart from that, nothing much planned at the moment.
