New front Splitter and only a £45 part

[Paul1982]

Hi Guys,

Thought I'd share my front splitter with you all.... £45 and personally it gives its just enough for me.

Car is nearly complete lowered it 20 turns around today too and no nasty noises etc

 

[D Walker]

Very nice - where did it come from?

 

[Paul1982]

Seat Leon Cupra R splitter
I've been using this splitter for years on most of my cars with similar shape fronts... Not so in your face and enough to make the difference. Only mod was shaving the middle to bits down to be flust with the rest and screw it all up... Simple 10 minute job

Check out this item I found on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=201340934334&alt=web

Neat.
I wonder how it would look on the classico front bumper...

 

[Contigo]

I did this on my Audi RS4 and it is a common mod. It work's on your black car but not sure it would work on them all.

Do you feel any advantage at speed?

 

[Paul1982]

I understand what your saying Contigo but it's just black plastic.... It looked lovely on my red A5 and blue RS4. I'm sure its not for everyone but personally many little changes make a big difference

I havent pushed to car to be honest and I'm more a slow driver listening to my exhaust note these days, to give any honest opinion its more a looks thing for me. Any performance benefits I'd rather someone more qualified to answer that

Theoretically it must create more downforce for more stable top speeds.... But I'm not going to put it to the test

As long as the Classico from bumper is flush underneath then it should fit and look just the same

But why would anyone want to fit an aftermarket front splitter to a lovely old classic 3200/4200/GS anyway.

If are cars are going to the worth anything in the next few years, they need to be standard factory spec!

Tasteful mods will still attract buyers IMO.

Really - at how many years do cars become classic for Insurance purposes - my wallet is still smarting from the £482 extraction!!!

£250 is very cheap!

I have a trade policy so out of touch with prices these days
