#3: Re: Front Splitter Author: Zack, Location: NorthamptonshirePosted: Sun Apr 21, 2013 11:15 am ---- Want it to look lower on front but not lower
#4: Re: Front Splitter Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Sun Apr 21, 2013 12:29 pm ---- But with no ground clearance, and I mean none if you went for 4 inch splitter it will either grind away or rip off and take your bumper with it
#5: Re: Front Splitter Author: Zack, Location: NorthamptonshirePosted: Sun Apr 21, 2013 12:32 pm ---- Go for 3 inch. I just want it lower on front but can't even fit my key under seals at min.
#6: Re: Front Splitter Author: BarneyBaloo, Location: ColchesterPosted: Sun Apr 21, 2013 4:03 pm ---- renault espace ones are quite deep, not sure on how deep they will be on your car though.
#7: Re: Front Splitter Author: Paddy1795, Location: CarlislePosted: Sun Apr 21, 2013 5:51 pm ---- You're just gonna end up ripping the splitter, and probably the bumper off, unless you make the way you fix it on flex, like on Rob Slammereds subaru where his bumper is held on with elastic..

That's a syntactically null sentence

Nah I tryed one on old 206 looking at mk1 golf one but may be to deep.
#11: Re: Front Splitter Author: kobrakai1986, Location: Caerphilly/Hengoed/Ystrad MynachPosted: Mon Apr 22, 2013 7:29 am ---- I had a mk2 Ibiza splitter fitted for around 2 weeks at standard height before binning it. Its deep and has a nice vent along the middle. Looked good but kept hitting the road on uneven surfaces and hit every speed bump. Its also a potch cutting bits off to fit. They look good providing you can put up with the amount of noises coming from it scraping every few mins (depending on the roads near you)

You got any pictures of the Ibiza splitter on the 206 mate? Would be interested to see how that looks!

And here it is... (ignore the carbon wrapped bump strip - its only fitted in the winter when my spots are on the car - now removed for summer)
#14: Re: Front Splitter Author: Paddy1795, Location: CarlislePosted: Mon Apr 22, 2013 7:54 am ---- That looks cool, how much work did it take to get it to fit? Can imagine it'd be a bit more work than other splitters like the Cupra one etc.

A lot! For a start the splitter is quite a bit narrower than the sport bumper so the corners on the splitter needed to be played around with and trimmed so it would bend and stretch out to fit - its quite a solid splitter and is not very flexible. I sort of rushed it a bit so ended up cracking one of the corners on the splitter on a speed bump as there was not enough flex in the bend in the corners.
