Fitting The Splitter

[JakeyCUK]

Hi all im in the process of fitting my skoda splitter, I know I have to use self tappers, and cut the ends off to trim it to length, the only thing I dont understand is how it is going to sit flush when there are rivets already on the underside of the bumper where it is going to sit against?! :S
Ive got all the screws ready to go in pre existing splitter holes etc

Thanks

I've got a feeling there shouldnt be any existing screws or rivets on the underside lol?

You're quite right. Rivets, just drill them out, not hard.

ok thanks done, almost done now, wish it was a tad warmer lol

Alternatively you can just make some indentations in the skoda splitter (the plastic is really soft as I'm sure you've noticed) where the rivets are.


Definitely gonna take the bumper off next time just so I can do it sat down in the warm...

yea I used blue tack on the splitter then pushed up onto the pre drilled holes to mark where to put the tappets through, all fitted now and will post pics on my progress thread soon, not 100% perfect at the moment though, needs another two holes drilling through to bring it flush in places but I suppose it will do for now

not the latest entry but one before it, still needs another two screws to make it as flush as I want, other than wasnt too hard really!
