Doesn't need cutting if fitted right

Just go in to a seat dealer,they will know what you mean when you ask for a seat cupra r splitter
they sell loads of them,they laughed when i went in as i ordered 2 one for the rs4 and one for the golf.
He said people fit them to every thing,even rovers lol.
There about £17.00

you can see here on page 4 how mine was fitted
http://www.rs246.com/index.php?name=PNp ... t=splitter
drill holes in the lugs then hold it in place with sticky tape, then secure to the underside with self tapping screws, then trim at the edges of the wheel arch as shown on mine.
its far easier if you had a helping hand to keep it straight and still while you tape it up, check its semetricall and sits cosy to the bumper so you will have to shave the 2 middle sticky up bits until the edge of the splitter fits flush against the underside of the bumper.
THE 2 protuding bits in the centre need to be trimmed down about half an inch to allow the splitter to sit flush with the bumper... HOWEVER be carefull when securing near the centre section becuase there are hoses tucked up behind the lower bumper!!
Did your still cost 17 quid? I have asked Unit 20 to get me one so I can send it to the chap in Malaysia.
man you must have got a group discount!
