- Start date
note it looks silly with no splitter ive got a skoda one on order, hit a rabbit and cracked the original and then a month or so ago it jus fell off and i drove over the bloody thing!! soz about the finger in the pics but you get the idea of the belts, had to get the company on ebay to order them special cos they wer advertised to fit caterhams an the like, bonus to having the 4 points both sides means no scroungers wanting lifts!!
182 cup & 172 ph1
Hopefully getting the new alloys shortly, may not be the F1's though

Had a nightmare trying to remove the bushes from the dogbone mount today and broke it lol so the cars off the road whilst waiting for a new one to arrive in a few days.
Looking forward to getting some photo's but feel mine will look a bit run down next to yours

Quick Sunday Clean
Well, i woke up early yesterday and it was a nice day so i decided to clean the bean.
Before
It was looking a bit dull. Doing 300 miles a week in it takes its toll, and the fact there was CV boot grease on one of the wheels that flicked all on the side skirt and drivers door i had a bit of a challenge on my hands.

So it wasn't looking its best.
After

Im really pleased with how it came out. My camera isnt the best. Oh well.
Just one more little addition to....
Got her branded!

Finally got around to ordering a fabia splitter from skoda. Picked it up today and the weather was decent so i went about fitting it.
It was pretty simple to fit. I did it on my own but i guess it would be easier with someone else.
I needed;
A splitter!
Self tappers
Masking tape of Electricians tape (Anything that wont damage the paint on your car.)
Philips screwdriver.
Stanley Knife.

This is what it came in when i picked it up. A stupidly oversizes pizza box. Ha. I went to the local DIY and bought some 5mm x 19mm self tappers.
I jacked the car up high enough so i could fit the screwdriver under it. I went round and took all the old bolts out from the previous splitter!
I took the new one and found the center point which i pointed to with the screwdriver!

I put this up to the car in the center of the front bumper and then put a piece of electricians tape on to hold it in place.
Starting in the middle i pushed an indent in to the splitter with the end of my screwdriver. Then i started to screw the self tapper in. The skoda splitter is really soft and flexible so you dont need to put loads of pressure into putting the self tapper through.
When you get to the bumper you need to apply more pressure as its alot tougher!
I think i used about 18 self tappers in total, i just put them on every little lip that the skoda splitter had. I did use a stanley knife to cut around some of the nuts that where under the front bumper in the first place that where holding different bits of plastic in place.

I would try to get the splitter as even as possible around the front of the bumper by running my finger along and seeing if it needed to come out or go further in before tightening the self tapper.
A quick heads up. When tightening the self tappers, you dont need to do them overly tight or else they just start spinning on the spot as you have messed up the plastic its went into.
You can see all the self tappers i used here!

When you fit your splitter, you will notice that it does have some excess at either end. You will have to cut this off.
I read on here that a stanley knife was more than capable aslong as it had a decent enough blade.
Just a tip. Before i cut mine off, i put the jack under the end of the splitter and bumper like so...

I jacked it up so it was nice and solid under the bumper. This ment that when i put pressure on it to cut through with the standley knife it didnt twist or buckle.
Worked well IMO.
This is what i was left with.

A big thumbs up from me
Trafic 140dci
just seen this, from looking at the pics, and the broken splitter looks like a clio i remember seeing for sale in sprowston norwich, is it this one?? also you local to norwich??
Cheers guys.
I dont know if the splitter will fit. I know karl (Above 2) has a MK3 clio splitter on his and it looks good. Might be worth seeing if you can get one of them ?
Yeh mate. It is the one from norwich. Sadly, im not from there. Im from Middlesbrough, Teesside. The one in norwich was the only tidy one i could find.
Recaros are the best thing ive bought for my clio. Love them!!
I dont really fancy it Jon. Ive never really been a fan of it.
Thanks,
Sam!

Quick Update
Gave my car to Jacko172Cup off here last weekend for him to give it a good clean. He clayed and machine polished it. Dont know what else he did but it looks stunning in the flesh. So happy with what he has done to it. Really good bloke!
Heres a few pictures:
