Morning all

I've just bought an Sti 6 Front Splitter. I wouldn't normally ask a question like this but as I've only got a fitting window of 1 hour before it gets dark tonight I thought I would so that I can prepare myself / buy the bits I'll need on the way home

This morning I felt under the front bumper to see if there were any holes (I was in a rush to get to work and it was completely dark) but could not find any (they may be there though) LOL.

Are they there as standard?

But the main question is how have you fitted your splitters?

If there are no fitting holes pre moulded into the bumper I'm going the have to drill the holes but can't fit a drill between the road and the bumper to be able to used small M5 bolts.

Or have you used self tapping screws. Does seem as thought they may be able to vibrate loose if this is the case (i.e. only held in place by srews).

Your thoughts would be much appreciated.

Cheers

 

The later cars (definately MY00 and perhaps MY99) have the holes as standard. Earlier ones dont from what I've read before. There are posts on here which list all the part numbers you need to fit to the original holes. eg this one http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?t=385238

 

Thanks for the reply mate.

As the holes must be there then (can't believe I couldn't feel them) I'll pop into B&Q for some nice nuts, bolts & washers

Thanks again for the reply.

 

ill see if your still outside when i get home then mate that will make the car look pretty nice i reckon

 

I was mate out there till 6pm in the dark (started at 4pm), with a torch. Took ages as I've got big hands and I couldn't get access to the bolts to get the nuts on!

All done now looks the danglies

 

Much easier with the correct fittings, mine took about 10 mins to fit....

 

Probably but I wanted it fitted asap
