Default New Splitter

Jumped in on the group buy from HT Auto's for their splitter, was in two minds weather to get one or not but for £75 thought what the hell I quite like it

Few snaps:

Thanks for the comments guys, was a bit dubious as I like to have a bit of contrast (like Phils white with carbon) but am pretty pleased with it. Just see how long my paint lasts

Matt, yes more aggressive were my thoughts also

Perfect front splitter Dave. Just enough, aggressive but not OTT.



Food for thought though? I used a hairdryer & lots of patience.



There was a thread on SN where someone did it by keyhole surgery using long thin nosed pliers. I'll see if I can find it.

"Edit" Hmm couldn't find it but this is the guide I used when I did mine.

LOL.....know what you mean, it's not as bad as you think just take your time.

The important bits are not getting any of the gunk or finger prints on the reflector, and making sure you have a good seal when you re-assemble.

Not a fan of the quad's on the Blobeye.

Car's looking fantastic.

TBH mate chances are you'll end up catching it on somethin so for £75 you can swallow buying a new one unlike the £300 or whatever for a carbon one.

Nice addition to the front end, car looking sweet as always

Quite liking the glossy finish to yours now Mark, may have to lay some clear coat over the top...

Thanks for the link, seems quite straight forward, may have to have a crack at that eeek

Thanks for the comments guys
