i like the laquered splitter look, black btw
its a low car but not low enough that it'll scrape..if im careful!

I agree with gally. Dont. It will peel off and look s**te

It's flexible it'll never work sorry. I work in a body shop.
Buy a solid splitter not a flexible one.
The cup splitters are solid or a leon cupra r splitter?

If it's a normal splitter off a clio it's bendy and will be a waste of time painting.

I would recommend working in a bodyshop but the money is never going to be great unless you get lucky like myself and become an assessor.

Electrician or plumber is the way forward mate.

I enjoyed working in the workshop and the banter, used to take real pride in my work and saved me a fortune throughout the years on various cars i've had.
Just plumbing, plastering, electrician rolls can get really well paid after apprenticeships.
