Anyone got an easy fix? Ideally without taking the bumper off :(

Under the oil cooler? If so it will unscrew either side and just push it back and it will come free from the bumper.

Mine took a whack last year with a bit of wood in the road, they are around £75 from the stealer if I remember correctly, can get you the part # when I get home if you need it.

Ed you're a legend. I was under there the other day and couldn't see how it comes off. I'll try and get a better photo - and yeah, under the oil cooler. It looked like it was riveted to the damn undertray though I swear lol

I need to see what the fittings are as mine was missing when I got her and I now have a carbon fibre unit to fit.

I might just bite the bullet and get a carbon one as they do look rather yummy.

Where should I be looking? I hope they're not crazy money... :(

I've got a few misc carbon pieces from Argon taht are quite fantastic. Communication was a bit rough but the parts were delivered on time (minus the hold up in customs) and the quality is tip top. I'd definitely go carbon if you aren't planning on adding a larger carbon lip spoiler later.

Thanks all.

Just to finish this thread up, I actually get a bit carried away and spent a small fortune with Argon yesterday, including a DTM splitter and a oil cooler splitter lol. thanks for the heads up!
