ktec splitter help

[maynard]

got my splitter through from ktec today - me and a mate bought one each so extra discount

however it comes with the 9 screws needed to fit, are they actually strong enought to withold the bumps/vibration in road etc and are they actually only held on by the screws screwed up into the bumper??

 

[Middo]

yeah. just self tap into the bumper.

 

[Peperami]

Yeah, fits fine with the 9 screws. Same as the standard splitter is fitted.

 

[maynard]

fair enough ill just get them screwed into the bumper then. hope to get pics up when fitted soon.

It's an easy enough job just make sure you line it up properly and the job's a good un. Make sure you drill the holes in the splitter first.

Mine's just arrived - stoopid question I know, but before I drill anything, the side of the splitter with the U-shaped cut-outs in the top bit that screws into the bumper isn't it?

Don't wanna be the first plank on CS to mount it updide down!

 

[jack_davey]

yeah that's right mate, I riveted mine on, probs overkill but I wanted it to look perfect

 

[Peperami]

Riveting is prob easier than lying under the car for half an hour in the rain with self tapping screws and lots of electrical tape...

 

[swell]

Took 3 of us to put mine on properly yesterday LOL

I got the bodyshop man to put mine on while it was in...took him 2 hours!

 

[jack_davey]

It will take two of you to fit it properly tbh

 

[Mostro]

Bullshit, job done in 45mins on me tod.

1. Drill 9 holes (4mm drill), one between each cutout and two at each corner. I used a tab of masking tape in each place to avoid any splintering.

2. Jack up one side of the car and axle stand

3. Lie under the front, offer up the splitter and clip or tape in place. I used clothes pegs since the washing line was the nearest thing to me

4. Make sure the the splitter is lined up correctly from the front and drill up through the splitter holes into the underside of the bumper - 2mm bit - and insert screw. I started in the middle and and worked my way to one side. Just keep checking that it's all still lined up at each stage.

5. Jack down and jack up other side of the car (my drill was too long to fit under the bumper on the non-jacked side, check alignment and repeat 4.


The most amazing, yeah, sexy new carbon fibre splitter......... Done.

I need a new CF splitter, as mine has now got a big split in the middle.

 

[Mostro]

See if K-tec have any Grade B ones left mate. £80 posted and I can't tell it's substandard at all.
