bought a golf vr6 splitter for my valver a couple of months back, and this afternoon i finally got around to fitting it from this:

can only just get on the drive though with about an inch clearance

took me all afternoon but was easier than i though it would be, once i got the right drill bit i was straight through all the pop rivvets, then i had to butcher the splitter in the middle cos it was too wide, and on the ends cos it was too long, i'm pleased ive done it though i think it looks mint
let me know what you think, good or bad comments welcomed 8) :D

looks ok. its good the way the centre bit lines up with the stock bumper :)

[Scott-16v!]

and the grill :wink: , lucky really as i measured with a screwdriver down from the middle of the numberplate for where i needed to cut the splitter and its looks pretty damn accurate to me :lol:

V nice

I wanted to fit one time ago.......bit to low now :oops:

[debottomley]

Like it mate, alot.

How much did that set you back if you dont mind me asking?

[Scott-16v!]

they come in halves from gsf car parts at £16.25 each, came to about £38 including the vat :)
whether it stays on or not depends on how long it last over humps, going into car parks and turning into streets :lol: got 2" clearance on the flat and about an inch going onto the drive as seen in pic :P

[Justin..]

lol, can you get ibiza splitters from there?

[Scott-16v!]

i'd imagine so yeah, quite a few people have already got them though which is part of the reason i wanted something different :)

[Justin..]

i know but i like em

[James Clio 16v]

I like that. Suits the car.

[TwisT]

like it, nice n subtle, shud look good sprayed. :)

[neilc]

I like that but wouldnt spray it as it is going to get a beating lol

[Scott-16v!]

^^exactly! the one i had on my mk3 golf got ripped off about a dozen times :oops: and that was nowhere near as low as the valver

[neilc]

Was it easy to fix to the bumper, what did you use ??

[Scott-16v!]

dads tools lol, had to drill the old one off cos it was rivveted on, once i'd cut this one to size i bolted it on so that it wouldn't be too easy to rip off, about a dozen bolts in it i thinkm quite lucky cos a few of the holes on the bumper matched up with the brackets on the splitter. took me about 4 hour to do. now i'm in the process of putting the rubber one on the back bumper and its proving to be a right bitch to fit, i have to keep hacksawing loads off the top clip bits so that it will bend to fit :x

[neilc]

nice work keep us posted :)

[Scott-16v!]

will do, anyway finished my cuppa so i'm off to finish the other side :D

[Andyvalver]

Not my cuppa tea mate personally. I prefer the standard one :oops: soz

[Scott-16v!]

finally finished the rear splitter and just took some pics 8)

[Lunner]

Not dissimilar to the Seat Ibiza splitter

[Scott-16v!]

the front or the rear :? ? its not much deeper than the seat one really, i think it only looks massive in the original pics cos its so close up, the one on the rear is the original valver front item

[Lunner]

[Scott-16v!]

ah i see, i'd say there the same depth, roughly 3"

[Lunner]

Yup, ripped mien off ona fox, got a new one sat in my garage waiting to be fitted, but it literally scrapes on everything

[Scott-16v!]

a fox lol :lol: , not tried the humps yet, and ive steered clear of steep streets, gonna have to try 'em sooner or later though :roll: :lol:

[Lunner]

Mine even srapes going up the kerb inot the gym carpark

[Daz.]

is it my eyes or do you have a phase 1 petrol cap? :shock:

[Scott-16v!]

^^ive wondered about that before, dont the phase 2's has a sunken barrel for the key? maybe its cos my car was manufactured in the changeover year being a mid/late '94 model. knowing renault they thought sod it weve got some of these left lets put that on :roll:

[Mish_16V]

mine looks same and mines an M as well..

god my eyes are good!

Dont worry about it though, phase 1's are miles better - mine always refuses to give my key back after filling up! :roll:

[Scott-16v!]

8) i think they look a bit better than the phase 2 item imo, a bit smoother looking

[Plattsy]

that looks well smart mate, i wudnt mind a better splitter but mines already rather low!
Lunner your car looks rather sad...lol

[Scott-16v!]

that looks well smart mate, i wudnt mind a better splitter but mines already rather low!
wuss :roll: :lol: 8)

[Plattsy]

lol i dont mind spendin £36 on a splitter but for it to be ripped off by the speedbumps on my street when i pull away when i first put it on is a bit of a waste lol. it catches on almost everything as it is.
Infact sod it why shudnt i have a splitter.....il just make sure it doesnt come off with big hefty bolts :D lol wot splitters generally fit~?

[Scott-16v!]

lol, mines whacked loads of humps and carpark entrances in the few weeks its been on :oops: the bolts have kept it in place though and its not budged. generally people fit laguna and seat splitters, don't know how easy they are to fit. mine took a lot of chopping to be honest, but its worth it in my opinion 8)
