Is it easy to remove the front bumper as it might be easier to do this, fit splitter and then but bumper back on??

Hi B4D, do you mean just cable ties and nothing else?
I have a mate who can help to.

used self tapping screws and fixings (bit like nut and bolt but without the hassle)

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/s...egoryId_255228


using the screw you can feel the point once through then just pop the fixing on and tighten off gives quite a solid fix. agree having someone to help make life easier.


though as H says you run the risk of greater damage if you hit the splitter. though with a carbon fibre one you will be extra carefull lol. thinking of getting one of these myself.

I used to use a combination of cable ties and bolts, but these days just cable ties tbh (mine were not the carbon fibre, more expensive ones tbf)

Cheers all. Think I'll use the nuts bolts, cable tie and self tappers. Different things in the different place to get it to sit just right.
