Bought it and fit it myself right where you see it in that first picture, was a bit of a tight squeeze to get under there! Easy job though, took me about an hour.

Its not really noticeable until you park next to a normal Cup, looks pretty nice in my opinion.

does it usually come with screws, how do you drill in and how do the screws fit ???

where do i get the screws/type/size cost.

im a complete novice and i dont want big holes in the bottom of my car.

BTW looks mint, is it actually carbon fiber ? or just mock carbon look.

how many taping screws did you use / need ??

Its real Carbon Fibre. Im a complete novice and had never doen anything to a car before apart from drive it, and I managed it so I wouldnt worry too much...

Self tapping screws come with it (or should, they forgot mine) or they can be bought from Focus/B&Q. Its pretty easy, just drill at least 6 holes in the splitter spread out evenly (I used a little hand drill), tape the splitter to the car with masking tape to get the positioning right, then start screwing stright into the bodywork. I think Renault only use 4 screws on the original splitter and they can fall off easily, so at least 6 should do the trick, cost about £1 I think.

You cant really mess up as where you screw it in to the bodywork isnt visible to the outside. Ive got a few work in progress pictures I will find out for you in a minute.

And sure Chris you can have the old splitter, I believe it lives on the central reservation of the M1 as it fell off whilst on the motorway!
