Cup splitter

ok, so i started off on my own at 3pm with a standard screwdriver, 9 scews, a splitter and no jack.

3 hours later here is the result:

Doesnt look too bad. its not the easiest job in the world granted, and mine doesnt fit perfectly, but 3 hrs!!

I put mine up on stands - much easier.

yeah i know i had nothing but the sh*t tools!!!!

was lying on the floor with my head under the bumper most of the time!!!! LOL

worse thing i found was the screws supplied had no real bite to them, i used me own, much easier

i reckon when i finally manage to find one for sale.. im going to use the pit at work then to fit it! doesnt sound like the easiest of tasks.

i thought theyd just clip on? someone told me they take 10 mins to fit and are a piece of piss!

Its a good idea to predrill small holes before screwing in self tappers.

 

[jpmad4it2]

they are probably are really easy to fit if you have the right tools and a ramp/pit!!!!

there are pre-drilled holes in the bumper, so that saved time - its just getting the splitter lined up correctly with those holes, and trying to mark the right spot to put a hole in the splitter - would be soooooooooo much easier from underneath the car - i had to use a lot guesswork to choose where to put the holes - i think i did well considering!!!

I did mine with a screwdriver, 8 screws and the smallest of bumps on the driveway (put the front wheels on it so the front was ever so slightly raised), took me a couple of hours I think.

Had to put my head sideways under the front then I had some room once under (about 6"!), hardest bit for me was holding against the bodywork hard enough so no gaps appeared when screwing it in. I found getting it into position pretty easy as I taped it on securely with masking tape first.

ive got a mate who owns a garage so i used his lift to raise the car to shoulder level and fitted it from there, much easier and quicker, also ensures a good fitment.
