They've taken a mould of my spare bumper a few weeks back, but are too busy to start on it at the moment.

Hey guys (especially those who have fitted their splitters)

I tried installing mine over the week and had problems.

There are 4 existing custom screws, a style I have not encoutered before. These screw into the bottom of the front bumper where the splitter would be attached to. Attached is a pic of one.

They are a quarter-turn camock type screw, with nil tolerance in the engagement/locking, so when I fit the splitter, the thickness of the splitter's Cf material means screw no longer engages.

Has anyone experienced the same and how did you overcome this?

Is it not because it's on a light coloured car ?

Having dealt with ArgonnCreative I would not deal with them again. Go for the DTM splitter in my opinion.

I think you'll find I'm not the only one. Do a search on here and you will make your own mind up.
