Reanult around £125 IIRC, may aswell buy a CF one from K-Tec

 

[cliocrazy-53]

are they the same just carbon fibre? e.g are the standard cup ones longer, or closer 2 the ground?

cheers

^^^pretty much the same.

I was quoted £150 for a Renault cup splitter.

 

[cliocrazy-53]

really blimey, how easy are they 2 fit, im just wondering if the carbon fibre one will go with the rest of the car....?

I have a ktec CF splitter on my iceberg 172, i think it looks pretty good.

 

[Curley]

Only thing thats stopping me from getting one is that the CF ones doesn't reach to the arches.

I'd like to know why TBH

 

[cliocrazy-53]

they dont reach the arches??? do they stop short then :S ?

fletcher did u go for the matt one or the shiny one?

cheers

I have a ktec CF splitter on my iceberg 172, i think it looks pretty good.

Me too. Yeah, it's not quite flush - ½inch short maybe but you never notice once it's on after a couple of weeks when you stop admiring it every time you walk past........

There are some close-up pics on here somewhere of the side view shortness.....

And the shiny one's not that shiny, especially in this weather!

 

[cliocrazy-53]

i reckon i mite just get the carbon splitter from k-tec, what do you lot think about spraying the carbon splitter a matt black...? to match the matt finish grill and fog light surounds on the 172...??

cheers people

[cliocrazy-53]

rite people, i bought a carbon fibre splitter from ktec this morning, dont want 2 sound stupid but how do i go about fitting it? do i screw the screws through the spliiter and in to the bumper?? what are the cut outs for in the splitter?

 

[jack_davey]

^yeah that's right, I used rivets to fit mine, but self tapping srews are probably just as good. Best way (if you're doing it on your own) is take the bumper off, put it upside down, tape the splitter in place and drill holes and fit screws.
That's just my opinion, a mate of mine bought a k-tec splitter recently and the fit was god awful, didnt reach the ends of the bumper properly at all!
