307 Splitter on Ph1 172, Opinion on wheels..

[Edd]

Put a £24 307 splitter on my 172 at the weekend.

Still can't make my mind up about wheel tape, afew more yellow touches and it might look good?

 

[Nick_P]

Looks familiar

but good, lower it dooon

 

[saltyhair81]

looks nice mate. Colour code the door trim and slam it on coilys dude

 

[YorkshireDaz]

£24...??

Car is looking good mate.

They are different wheels to when it has been done before though, well slightly.

I am thinking about coilovers, but the splitter would have to come off for a smaller one, catched on some speed bumps as it is (lowered on Sportlines).

 

[bomber]

going to go for that next, ripped my Cupra R splitter off on a cattle grid last week, looks w**k without one now. do you have a part code?

 

[Edd]

£24 for a new one on the bay.

I don't see the point in that jazz tbh, I won't be able to get over anything lol

 

[Edd]

Are you on coilys Salty? Like I said if I opted for them, I'd have to get a smaller splitter. You can get a smaller 307 one, less than half the thickness I think.

I'm on the KTR coily set.

Might consider one at some point, I've done pretty much everything I wanted to now.

New plates next

 

[saltyhair81]

Beat me to my edit foo'

Gotta love arnold though!

 

[Edd]

Yeh you wouldn't be getting over many speed bumps with the larger 307 splitter would you!

 

[saltyhair81]

Nope, got any links to the smaller one? I was gonna go for the cupra but bombers just put me right off lol.

 

[bomber]

i was nailing it down the lane to my gf's house and as id been driving the van for 2 weeks, i forgot to slow down for the cattle grid lol. id get another cupra one but the only seat dealer round here has closed so time for something else.

the cupra one looks good though. splitters on the ph1 finish the front end IMO, its about an inch too high compared to the sills

 

[saltyhair81]

looks good mate (or did lol) Thats how mine sits now, theres no way i'd be able to go anywhere with it..not that i'm fussed like. Coilovers are mucho worth it!

 

[Edd]

No I havn't got a link to the smaller one, couldn't find one on ebay. Think you'd have to go to the stealers for it. I'm sure there's a thread on here somewhere with the part numbers.

 

[Fletcher]

Looks good.

 

[Monaco Sean]

I considering selling my carbonfibre split and getting a 307 one.

 

[Edd]

307 Splitter part numbers.

large one part No. 7414X1
Small one part No. 7414NQ

 

[saltyhair81]

sweet! Thanks bud.

 

[Greeny.]

Tape fiited ok then mate!

Looks good

 

[Jason_E]

Looks fit

 

[Edd]

Yeh it fitted greeny, cheers. Took about 30mins a wheel though!

So should I keep the tape or get rid?? I'm undecided.

 

[Monaco Sean]

Keep it I like it!

 

[electricfurnace]

307 splitters off ebay are the larger Pug ones, I bought one for my 172 Ph2 but ended up taking the f*cker off as it kept catching on everything, even though Im only lowered on sportlines!

Smaller 307's are cool but I went for a small meggy one in the end - might be worth considering?

 

[Edd]

I like the look of the larger 307 splitter though. I'm on Sportlines too and generally it's ok, just the odd speed bump I encounter that i've got to be careful over and I can't park on the upper tier of the gym carpark as it scrapes on the ramp regardless of speed.

 

[Monaco Sean]

Im lowered 30mm and the K-Tec Carbonfibre one is OK but its rigid so instead of flexing its likely to snap.
I think I prefer the 307 one anyway... what you think?!
I dont live there anymore but it shows the splitter on the car.

SORRY TO HIJACK THREAD.

 

[Edd]

I like the carbon on. But below is my old Monaco with a 307 one on.

 

[Edd]

Afew more..

 

[Monaco Sean]

Mate, Im a big fan!

 

[Edd]

I've got some black wing mirror covers, which out of the below decals do people think would look best? Or any other to consider....

 

[Edd]

Cheers Seany!

 

[sgtbash999]

is the 307 splitter a direct fit (size wise) or did you have to do a bit of nip / tuck?

 

[Edd]

Yeh there was a bit of a nip/tuck involved. Wasn't too bad to fit, but seemed a little easier on my PH2.

 

[Christopher]

Great.

Much better than the Cupra thing. That looks awful.

 

[Edd]

Cheers, what about the wing mirrors?

 

[Gally]

I hate those ren sport stickers.

I think less is more and your mirrors in black with elf stickers will be plenty.

Sometimes you need to learn when enough is enough.

Your car looks awesome.

 

[Edd]

Cheers Gally.

Just wanted afew more touches of yellow just to tie in with the wheels. Don't worry, won't be touching rear badges or diamonds.

All the above decals were ideas for the wing mirrors, not anywhere else on the car. Wasn't planning on covering it in stickers.
