front splitter screws

[m4rkie23]

does anyone know the screws that are needed / used on attaching the front splitter?

cheers

they're just small self tappers. nothing special is needed.

 

[m4rkie23]

how long roughly? and do they need to be metal, or are the little black plastic ones okay?

 

[fUbAr]

I would be using metal ones, galvanised. 1/2" will do, they dont have to be long.

 

[m4rkie23]

how many? 10 be enough?

 

[fUbAr]

more the merrier!

have 6 as standard iirc...

think ill get some of these then.
are there holes pre-drilled in the bumper, or do i need to have some drill fun??

 

[fUbAr]

not entirely sure... my splitter came as standard.

if not, drill a small pilot hole.

Dtill fun ftw

Drill to be safe, which means jacking the front up high enough to be able the get the drill under vertically so use axle stands. Unless you've got an inspection pit or a ramp lol.

Think I used about 10 screws on mine - every 6 inches or so and a couple on each corner.

Plastic self-tapping screws FTL tbh

What splitter is it?

 

[m4rkie23]

ive got the 307 splitter. (cant afford the standard atm - maybe in the future) ive got the splitter at home, black silicone just wanted the screws and a dry and not - temp to get it done.

yeah got a trolley jack and axle stands. Hoping to do it this weekend, along with a nice clean!

I'll pop to screwfix later and get the link above

Ah ok. Think I drilled 2mm pilot holes for mine in the bumper. Think they were 4mm screws about ½in long.

 

[m4rkie23]

just managed to 'locate' 20x M4x1/2" self tappers from work.

that'l get the job done with some 1mm pilot holes. thanks guys!
