just with screws / self-tappers, that's all.

I would go and look but my car is in the garage

 

[Maz]

So do I just need to screw it back on ??

 

[thedoc]

self tapping screws..

 

[Maz]

don't mean to sound dumb but I am female .. wtf ... do you tap with a hammer or srew with a screwdriver... lol

Maz

 

[yellow182jon]

yeah mine has broke aswell after hitting curb lol

 

[Leeshez]

Screw with a screw driver

 

[thedoc]

"srew with a screwdriver... " - is the best bet...

 

[Gareth]

yep, just screw it back on.

 

[biojo]

drill a small piolt hole then itll be easier to screw in ,

i nedd to fit my new one this week

 

[Maz]

Thanks Guys ... do I need to jack it up to be able to do this ??

Why is everything car related hard work ... lol

Maz

 

[Has]

You will probably need a jack as the front will be too low

 

[Maz]

Right .. cheers for that ..

Hmmmmmmm this should be an interesting experiment, I don't even know where the screwdriver is kept in my house ... lmfao..

Maz

 

[Has]

in the tool box

 

[Ali]

Mines broken 2, it's ducktaped on....My ghetto ratio is soaring!

 

[Maz]

Lol @ Has ... that would be too simple .. my step dad is in charge of all the tools in our house ..

lmfao ..

 

[Has]

try the 3rd draw down in the kitchen.....

i usually find mine in there

 

[Maz]

Nope ... lol

Awwwww well ... will just have to hope it doesn't fall off and get lost in between now and my step dad getting home on Friday ..

Maz

 

[Has]

Hehehe

It will still be stuck on with the other screws so it shudnt come off !!!

Just dont tap any more kerbs before then

 

[Has]

Well if u tap a kerb like this then id worry

 

[Maz]

Hopes not ..

Let me guess - when you say 'hanging off in the middle' - you mean off to the left hand side as you're stood in front of the car?

They all seem to do it. My '54 plate is like that. Jain's '05 plate didn't come with the splitter initially, but after it was fitted by Reno, it hangs off slightly - exactly at the same point mine does!

Mad Frenchies - can't even curve a piece of plastic correctly....

D.

 

[Maz]

Nah ..it deffo wasn't like that .. lol I would have noticed .. think I must have knocked it ..

Maz

 

[Has]

^^ u can easily nip it on a kerb without noticing !!

That causes it to loosen up in the middle as it sticks out the furthest there.

 

[Gareth]

mine is screwed on in about 16 places, no budging the little bugger, on the downside though, if I ever clip a kerb it will take the whole of the front of the car with it

 

[Maz]

Has .. I meant I have/must have hit someting as it was not like that before .. lol I was trying to explain that in my reply to Darrens ..

I hit a baby bunny rabbit 2 days after I got the car and it ripped the splitter off in the middle. I just screwed it back up again a little further than it must of been because it holds fine now. You won't need to jack it up if you use a short screwdriver but you're car is lowered now isn't it? So you might need to jack it up

 

[Maz]

Think I will need to jack it up ... lol

What type of screwdriver will I need ?? philips ??

Maz

 

[Munday]

Yeah its a philips
