Fitting Skoda Splitter

[Addicted]

Hey,
I've seen people say they use self-tapping screws, anyone found any better ways of attaching it? i'm a bit worried i'll split the bumper if i use the screws!
Thanks,
Matt

You won't split the bumper doing it this way. I've done it on 2 cars now and not had any problems and I didn't even use pilot holes.

hah ok did you cut both sides down and then stick on the ends to finish it off or just cut off one side?
also got a size of screw you used? as i'll have to go get some!

these ok?

 

[DaveDreads]

Those screws are fine mate.
When fitting mine I drilled holes in the splitter through most of the tabs, lined the middle tab up with the middle of the bumper
and drilled into the bumper with a drill bit slightly smaller than the screws, then screwed it in.
Just repeat this till your done then get a new stanley blade and slice the ends off, job done.

I diddn't cut the end of the tabs off but I wish I had as it wouldn't sit right till it was screwed in, I'd cut them off first
if I had to do it again.

ok cool man thanks for the tips, and is it easier to remove the front bumper?

 

[DaveDreads]

I diddn't, I just jacked the car up as high as I could, some peolpe jack it up over a curb or a step to
get extra room, you just need it high enough to get a srewdriver or drill under it.

 

[Jimbo-Clio]

cut both sides with a razor blade then they match anyway if you do a good job looks same as it did before cutting

 

[Addicted]

all done! didn't even need to jack the car! (though it was alot harder i imagine!)
have cut the sides, could do with a little more work on the sides as there's a little bit not cut off but apart from that all good!
used about 10 screws in the end to ensure i had the right angle all the way around!

thats clean looks well good going to do mine this weekend

 

[DaveDreads]

Nice! The thing I like about them is they look like they were fitted as standard,
oh...and there p1ss cheap.

 

[Addicted]

haha yea definitely cheap - i could never justify buying a renault or carbon fibre one just because that it looks like it's always been there!

also cleaned it today but didn't manage to get the EGP on (SRP done) as i thought it was going to rain!

 

[edewer]

good thing theyre cheap! i've already torn mine off after 3 days

 

[DaveDreads]

Just think how p1ssed off you'd be if it was carbon fibre!

 

[Addicted]

lol how'd you manage that, a speedbump?
i don't think mine will be coming off anytime soon, because its like a monster truck at the moment, but also because it has 10 screws!

here's the pics:

finishes it off i think!

Looks so much better fitted dont it! ive had mine fitted for a week or so and only scrapped it once but not on any of londons speed bumps, seems to still have good clearance!

Just ordered one on monday,if its anything like my local dealer you wont need the part number,they asked for the reg number "it's actually a part to fit a clio" i said and i gotthe reply "oh,is it the front splitter-i can get you one for wednesday" !!

 

[lex12]

Mate! The car looks quality! I def need one in my life! Was it a pig to fit? I've got that exact car but a year older! What colour is it? Solitude looks well good!

 

[Matt Cup]

It's amazing how a small bit of black plastic can completely transform the front end. The 172 bumper looks lost without a splitter.

Good work fella!

 

[Addicted]

it's easy to fit to be honest, i didn't even have to raise the car up, take or bumper off or anything (as long as you have a smallish screwdriver!)

if anything it annoyed me how long it took to tap into the bumper, arm ache after 10 screws were in

now just to find a cheap cup spoiler and some anthracite alloys and ill be sorted

 

[G_C'lio_172]

asif you managed it without raising it..ive just gone and bought some axel stands to get mine done :dapprove: lol
nevermind theyl come in handy for future

 

[Northy 8]

Will get 1 ordered
So much nicer

 

[rftaylor]

ordered mine as well, deffo have to jack the bugger up because its lowered on cooksports, thanks for putting the thread up though, puts my mind at ease knowing its not a biatch to do, nice car also, very clean!

Renaultsport Clio 182 by matthew-evans, on Flickr

Changed slightly (Turinis, Yozza, Ktec IK, Remap, Eibach Springs etc), but the splitter is still here!

 

[rftaylor]

ok looks a lot more sexual now!!! good job sir! mine is standard bg with cup packs and new btm exhaust plus cooksports, i like it but i have a hankering for some wheels like yours, although the anthracite cup wheels arent too bad, was thinking about spraying them black?

 

[Addicted]

Sounds good, though personally I'm not a fan of black wheels

If i was to get some more I'd without a doubt get some Speedline 2020's!

 

[scotty10]

looks good dont think i would put one back on mines is on apex and is low
