Re: Possible new splitter found!!
near enough straight fwd , didnt take me long , took longer to jack it up and find some bricks.
u cut about 2-3 cm off each side thats it, its faily flexible rubber/plastic.
Just a case of leave slight over hang on one side , get some one to hold it in right spot , pilot hole then screw, then just hold it in place to curve of bumper, and continue screwing where necessary. Then cut off excess either end.

Re: Possible new splitter found!!
No need to jack the front up :rasp:, get on your hands and knees!!
I left the torx in, it is flexible so just screw around them and happy days. Yea a bit of trimming is needed either side, only an inch or so that has to be removed.
Took me 30mins to fit, only because I held the splitter up with the tabs in place and thought, this isn't going to work! So whipped out the hacksaw and took all the tabs off.

Re: Possible new splitter found!!
Here it is!
Cost me £14.32 but i think that's because it came from the Warehouse within a couple of hours! dealer didn't have them in stock but they were having a delivery to which they kindly added this to, top service!!
Highly recommend Mitchell Skoda Chester, if anyones about that area ask for Tom.

I used 3.5mm x 12mm self tappers, brought from homebase £1.49 pack of 10(picked up 2 packs), i used 12 of them around the splitter. Job done :approve:
Excellent thread this. I'm going to try and get in with the cool kids and buy one tomorrow.
What diameter and length of self self tapper are people using? Cheers in advance!

Re: Possible new splitter found!!
This is gonna sound stupid but if u buy the screws do u get ones that come with bolts to hold it in place? I thought my bumper only had 4 or 6 holes in it for the original splitter

Re: Possible new splitter found!!
Ok wasn't sure they would screw into the bumper so easily. Will get along to my skoda dealership soon.
Will just have to park one side on a kerb to get under it properly

Is it really that simple to fit? Just get excess off at side and screw it into bumper? That's it lol

Re: Possible new splitter found!!
Haha just called my local Skoda garage to order one:
Me: "Heres the part number...."
Him: "Are you buying this to fit to a Renault?"
Me: "Err yes how did you know?"
Him: "Ive sold a couple of these now to Renault owners. You read about this on the internet right?"
Me: "Of course"

Re: Possible new splitter found!!
Fitted mine at the weekend.
I found it easier to jack up the car, and then drill pilot holes through splitter in to bumper and screw in place. Obviously starting with middle of splitter and fitting to middle of bumper first then take it from there. Then used a hacksaw and file to get the excess of and make it pretty.
Sits flush with the bumper and looks awesome! £12 well spent.
