Why doesn't anyone sell a replica cup splitter?

[Nick_P]

I was just wondering, why nobody actually sells a cup splitter, for cheaper than renault.

There must be a good demand for them, K-Tec make carbon ones, but why not just whip out a plastic one for half the price?

 

[jesus]

Nobody's probably had the idea yet, or can be arsed implementing it. I was wondering this too!

 

[Fletcher]

Yeah good idea tbh.

 

[Nick_P]

I mean Ktec are producing carbon ones, how hard can it be? Same as streamline, maybe they could make one out of glass fibre instead. Spray it black, job done.

 

[-KarL-]

great idea if it happens

You should do it and make millions

 

[Nick_P]

lols, I would if i could...

 

[Coby.]

There must be members who have access to the right gear surely??

I'd do it if I had the Gear or knew of a place taht could make them up.

 

[Nick_P]

Yeah, I messaged K-Tec, theres deffo demand for them imo

 

[shadowsun]

Why don't we see if we can make it happen. Just paid £150 for one from the stealers

 

[powey]

I think it would need to be cheap though as the megane one you can buy looks very similar for not alot of coin

 

[Nick_P]

Megane is nothing compared ha, I think half the price atleast would be good.

If anyone does have facilities/contacts take one for the team

 

[powey]

Looks pretty similar to me

 

[Nick_P]

Ah right yeah, that ones no bad, Its the big boy that is umm, big.

 

[jesus]

Aye there is a smaller Megane one actually, looks just like the cup splitter.

 

[Nick_P]

ooo moderator now. Does anyone know what reg megane that comes off?

 

[jesus]

I've seen them this type:

Think it's the PH2 Coupe.

 

[koi]

Thin Megane ones are spot on, ball ache trying to find one though

 

[Nick_P]

How interesting, my neighbor has that car.....

Here's a dumb question

What's the attraction for 'splitters'? ... and why are they called splitters?

I'm not too sure I have the ground clearance to fit one after just having the car lowered. I assume they would decrease clearance by at least an inch?

Ones like the Leon Cupra one are used to create downforce, but mainly people use them for looks. Mine's about 3cm off the floor with the splitter fitted, but is still fine going over speedbumps etc.

 

[Henry]

wasn't Fred looking to make some out of FG once?

i've had no bother with mine, but wouldn't be happy having to shell out £150 for a strip of plastic; the slightly cheaper CF alternative doesn't appeal either

 

[jonathanedew]

Ah right. I'd guess that the little Clio ones are really cosmetic then

Just seen this thread that explains a little. I like the Laguna one

You really don't ground yours with 3cm clearance? Are you more paranoid with bumps in the road than me? LOL

cant be 3cm then

You really don't ground yours with 3cm clearanceI was wary at first when I had it lowered, scraped it plenty of times on curbs when parking at supermarkets n stuff! Speedbumps are reet though.

 

[jonathanedew]

My front skirt has plenty of scrapes on it already, though not sure if I did them or were there when I bought the car?

So exactly what depth is a fitted splitter, or does that depend on what's fitted?

 

[Henry]

the Cup's splitter is about an inch deep

 

[jonathanedew]

the Cup's splitter is about an inch deep

Cheers. I'll have a measure up later

 

[indy]

Looks pretty similar to me

how hard is it to fit this megane one? is it the right size and shape to the front of the clio bumper? and if not, which is best to go for that looks OE spec

 

[TOGUSA]

what year was the 307 one that people where playing with?

 

[Whisker biscuit]

Iv been dealing in fibreglass kits for 8 yrs now, I have a share in a factory and would happily send a splitter away to get made if there was the demand. I would guarantee perfect fitment and low low prices.

I can't remember which one the thin Mégane splitter was from, but get in touch with the Renault Specialists in Accrington (I think it's Matt Black on here?), that's where I got mine from. You can get them a lot cheaper if you can find one at a local scrappy though, think I paid about £25.

You need to chop about 3" off both ends and then it's just a case of attaching it with some self tapping screws; start in the middle and mould it to fit as you go. Also need to cut two little protusions off from the middle, takes a couple of seconds with a saw/knife.

DO IT DO IT DO IT!
