Wouldnt a P1 splitter need a bit of fettling to fit onto your pre-facelift bumper?

I reckon the Sti one...

I can get a P1 from DR motorsport that will fit straight on. I do like the P1. Im just thinking about the fitting. I think the P1 needs to be stuck on but the sti is in 3 parts and needs no bonding. Has anyone ever fitted these?? Are they a pain to fit DIY.

Firstly, would strongly recommend DR Motorsport .... David Reid is a really decent guy to deal with, their prices are excellent and he paints everything he sells!

I have a 99 car with the P1 splitter and used no bonding. Attached it with 2 bolts and 5 screws .... and it dosent move!!



BUT

on a pre-99 car, I must admit, I do like the STi one as well!

I think the JUN style suits the early classic best

Easiest to fit, is the P1 Style splitter.
It's such a good fit you can fit it in place, couple of screws in the wheel arch ends, a bit of bonding or another couple of screws under the number plate area and that's all it needs. Most owners just use the screws and don't bother with the bonding.

The JUN style would be next, same idea with the screws but it really is better to use the bonding and leave overnight.

The Sti is a bit more complicated to fit. Simply because it's a 3 piece item and needs a bit more care to align it all correctly. Exactly the same as fitting the original STi splitter from the dealers do.


Hope that helps.
Got them all in stock too.

Promise to get the gallery pages up to date soon,


David

Another vote here for the P1 style splitter, fitting is as easy as David described and the colour match is spot on

Hello Again mate.

Very nice motor. Have you got any pics looking down on the bonnet so I can see the scoop a bit better. Your really tempting me to order one of those aswell from DRM.

Cracking motor mate. I think I agree with you on the Jun splitter. It looks good as its smoother than the others and is quite low without being big and chavvy like some Ive seen. I do like the P1 though aswell.

Yes I like the P1 and the Jun. Im torn between the 2 now... Nice motor mate by the way.... DRM seems to be the way to go. Everyone praises him up and no hassel of getting em painted elsewhere which appeals to me. I dont like the thought of some muppet thrashing my car to within an inch of its life...

Hi David.
Thanks for the response. I didnt realise you were a member on here to. I have been looking on your site over the last couple of weeks. Got some good stuff. I will probably give you a call later on when I can decide between a Jun or P1 splitter. I want a grill aswell. Do you have these in stock????

Cheers Mate

I got the number plate from Bescott Market in Walsall. It is just a standard 11x3 Motorbike plate. I think theirs a couple of blokes that make them up on Ebay. The Standard Square looked rubbish after the splitter went on it was too deep.

It won't fit to older 93 - 97 models.
