Depends what splitter, but pretty easy, it will need cutting and self tappers to fit to bumper, half hour job

If you get a cupra r splitter, do you need to modify it much, someone needs to make a how to

I fitted self tappers to my old one on my 306... emphasise the word old; because after 3 days it detached itself from the car at 70mph 
I went back and it was a bit flat  lol

I did the same. Put it on and caught it a few times which pulled it down. I bolted it in again and have caught it a few times and its held firm. I think if it does come of the bumper will be going with it as its got about 20 bolts in it

i did this with my old 206
you need to cut off roughly 1/1.5 inch off each end, offer it to the bumper and you will see. then as everyone else says, self tappers are th way to go, put one at each end, one on each bit where it dips (before the dip) then just evenly space them around the rest, i think i used 16 in total, 8 each side.
