You don't need to aero catch ph2 bumpers. Just cut the brackets off! My bumper is held on just by where it clips on the wing, no bolts nothing and mines not catching and its pretty low
Same for my bumper - no bolts just the side catches, it's not come off when I've not want it too, yet.
Oh right cool - so just push it in and clip that little metal clip over? Don't worry about the 10mm bolt/bracket?
Cut them off or bend upwards - not required. Just push the side clips in and thats it - may want to use the bottom two bolts on the floor pan part (i haven't).
Cheers I'm gonna whack it up on axel stands at the weekend and have a play
It made the same noises at 2 places at brands hatch a few years back and I just assumed the carbon splitter was whacking the track, but when I sold the splitter last week it had no damage lol

Thats what I've done but I've got the two bolts holding the plastic gauard under the rad still.
Catches are only needed on the ph1 as the bumper holds on so badly
What do you run? I sold my carbon one as I want to make something a bit better for downforce.
I would be! i was s**tting myself with this abortion on mine
Interesting... That would be quite cool if it fit a bit better.
What is it?
Yeah I'm running ET43 2118's
The spacers are 20mm FK bolt to hub ones, very nice. BUT because I'm running jamsport bells and AP rotors with my 4pot kit - I found out the bells are 5mm thicker than normal discs. So effectively act like a 5mm spacer already.
I had to get longer bolts as the ones with the FK kit were 5mm too short
So basically I'm running the equivalent of 25mm spacers on the front with -3 camber
On the rear whacked some 15mm spacers with an extra degree of camber behind the hubs - so -2.3 camber
I'll try and get some pics of it at the weekend when I get it out the garage again. It looks nice and mean though

Cant get on photobucket to post a pic but here is a link to my project thread. There is a pic of the splitter further down page 7.

Its made from hdpe plastic and goes under the subframe.
Ahhhh nice! That's literally what I want to make - was hoping to design something that could bolt to the 2 bumper bolts at the bottom - or make it go the full way under the engine to replace the engine shield and bolt into those 4 riv nuts
You noticed much difference with it on track?

I use the front to 2 holes on the subframe to attach onto but didn't want it to go all the way back to aid cooling with fresh air under the sump.
I've only done 1 trackday with it and didnt do a back to back test but it did feel different through the higher speed corners.

Excellent - thanks very much!
I'm going to go with 20mm spacers for the front and will adjust camber accordingly but for the rears I'm still not too sure. Will definitely go with 15mm, but can't decide on -1 or -2 (in addition to the standard, of course). I suppose that -2.5ish would be a good start for rear camber anyway.
Look forward to the pics. Thanks again
I'd strongly recommend -1.. I think the -2 camber on top of standard is way too much at the back
That splitter is of mk5 zetec s, its a s**t fit but was done for s***s and giggles.
Which one?
I'm gonna try and make something like cupman's spoiler.. should make a bit of a difference

Did you just draw around your bumper on a bit of card and then freehand the splitter a bit bigger?
How did you do the bolt holes to line up with the subframe?

Cupman that's awesome! Seeing pics like that give me bad ideas ha.
chip that splitter is solid, no play in it at all so it can only sit like that or not meet the line on the front bumper, would work on a ph1 though due to the bendy bumpers!

I wanted it to be 100mm deep at the front and taper to 50mm at the sides so measured out from the bumper making a series of dashes than joined them up. Then for under the subframe I went as far as I needed to reach the fixing holes and cut around the wheel arches for clearance.

Cheers mate.
They are not hard to make. The material I got for nothing and the tie rods were £25.
Made me one yet Steve?
Jeez it's like you have other important things to do
I can't find the material for under £75

Some pictures from Cadwell...
This is getting made into a nice canvas print for my living room!
Clear the new camber is working...

Nice one Phil, pics looks brilliant. Cadwell is my fav UK track, the Clio is right at home there.
Cheers mate
I'm just really glad I battled through all the "I might sell this" nonsense - it's all come together all of a sudden in the last few months and I love it to bits now

Looks good, quite a bit of roll though?
Also, like that you've copied my bumper modification! Seems to be taking off on here!

Seems to be taking off on here!Haha Nick - yeah it does roll a fair bit but that corner is seriously tight
Also in the famous words of Fred "roll isn't a bad thing"
I love the KW's gotta be honest
I did copy your bumper mod yeah cos I got sick to death trying to find a decent set of cup air ducts - BUT not sure I like it IRL, it looks a bit rough
I'm thinking of trying some black mesh behind it to neaten it up a bit

Oh I agree on the roll! Tbh I don't know Cadwell well but yeah if its a tight right corner then it isn't that bad!
Bumper looks alright in the pictures, I used a small dremel on mine so looked neater. The Cup I have now has had it done by the previous owner and looks a bit rough also.
Don't be a tart, as long as it functions then leave it!
P.S. You need to move the horns out of the way, bend the bracket a bit and mount it up the other way.

haha yes stick with it buddy you know it makes sense. Do you have any other track days planned? Would be good to pop along, esp if Cadwell, im hoping my car will be roadworthy next week
