Fabia front splitter

[Nickwillyhams]

Has anyone had any experience fitting a Fabia front splitter? Or recommend a better looking/fitting part? Can get one new for £20 which seems reasonable.

Thanks
Nick

IMO I think the k tec carbon one looks better and is a direct fit it is £130 but its money well spent and I love mine

Its easy to fit. couple of tappered screws in and a couple of inch of either end and they're awesome for the price compared to the ones from renault which are £100+

Fabia splitter is the best/cheapest replacement splitter IMO. Easy as piss to fit mate, I fitted 16 self tapping screws to hold mine on - just to be on the safe side.

Then trimmed the sides tidy and flush with a hot Stanley blade.

Either park your car at an angle on a high curb or jack the car up to get enough room to manoeuvre. Good luck

Dead easy, few self tappers as mentioned, work from one end then jsut cut the excess off.

​also £20?! They're £12 on e-bay with free postage!

Carbon Splitter will crack at some point. You'll hit a bird / go over a speedbump too fast / reverse off Jared's drive way and youve wasted £100+ for a piece of styling.

​Buy an RSTuner / Whiteline RARB for the money instead.

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

lolll my drive will f**k you up son!
Yeah would rather spend £12 on a splitter rather than £100K on a little splitter. RSTuner would be worth the money and wont break if you hit a bird as Ollie says

Im going to smash your drive with a sledgehammer when I rock down in the Boxter S / MX 5 / leased GT86 / Cooper S / Smart Roadster

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

m8. I doubt it, my drive would f**k that sledgehammer up.
haha! Whenever you get a new car and you still live in Bristol you got to pop down bbz

 

[banther]

I'll pop down soon at some point.

​Anyway - yeah, Fabia Splitter

 

[Nickwillyhams]

Well I've ordered one. £12.49 + £4.95p&p. Knowing my luck that carbon one would get smashed within the first day !!

The carbon ones look great but as above if you actually want to use your car not just look at it they are too fragile IMHO

You just need self tappers, a small drill and small drill bit. and a stanely knife to trim it down. just work your way round with the self tappers

I managed to do it with self tappers and a screw driver . Just pushed hard whilst turning.

Decided I'm going to buy one of these now, watch this space i'll be the first to f**k it up, will post pics by weekend. might as well get two now.

 

[banther]

Dude you cant f**k it. Seriously

 

[Harbinger]

Mate I have no confidence in myself at all after yesterday exhaust drama, fitted it bang on, but I put the car on stands at the back then in first gear to stop it rolling forward etc,

when it was all on what was the first thing I thought I'd do, let's see how it sounds. did I take it out of gear? Course not I completely forgot about that, luckily it didn't come off the stands, very lucky.

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Don't put it on stands then lol, Probably do it if you proped it up on a kerb and just did it there. I did mine on my drive with a hand screwdriver lol

And Im a tard... Ask Ollie
