Cup front splitter

[Moby]

Im picking up my cup in just under a months time and I havent seen any pics comparing the front with and without the splitter.

Can anyone help?

 

[paddymph]

well the splitter SHOULD be in the boot, look at the official reno pics:

cant find a pic of a cup without one, just look at any other 172

cheers paddy - is it just the rubber looking strip @ the bottom?

 

[paddymph]

yes mate, hears my standard 172 for comparison:

not the best pic! i wouldnt mind the 172 splitter but i think £130 a bit steep!

I bought mine of Paul (the one in the pic above) so I got it cheaper.

I will probably get slated for this but I actually prefer the mk2 172 without the splitter.

I think it spoils the smoothness of the front end. I think if it was painted then it would look better. But that is deffinatly one mod I wont do to my car. I am not sure whether it would look good on the mk1 but I believe the mk1 has a more suited front end for it.

 

[geordiepaul]

I was thinking the same and was worried it would look rubbish once fitted. But im really happy with it just makes the front look a bit more aggressive and lower. I always felt there was something unfinished about the front!

But ill be honest....you can hardly notice its there most of the time!!

How hard was it to fit Paul? Did you have to take the bumper off and drill it?

 

[geordiepaul]

Was a pain in the arse hands are still bleeding now!! Main problem was I didnt have a ramp so had little room to work in! The splitter come with recesses in the plastic for the rivots under the bumper but these didnt line up so I had to cut them. Then lining it up was a pain, once I had it in place it was easy to drill and screw on! I was very pleased with my work as it fits perfectly

 

[Carlouk]

Cool, if I decide to order one Ill bring the car round and leave it with you then yeah? Lol

[BenR]

[geordiepaul]

Thanks Geordiepaul. I will probably be ordering one next month, Cheers Neil

BTW, by the time I get a splitter and drive down from Jockland, your hands should have healed up ...... just in time for you to fit mines!!
