hi mate

just fitted mine today really easy mate just undo 4 bolts (2 at each side) you will see where they are when you offer the splitter up against the car and then there are 4 bolts which come with the splitter and they go along the middle section just dont tighten any bolts until you have them all in place as might make in awkward to get all the bolts in.hope this helps looks the dogs danglys when fitted!

gary :lol:

Here you go mate, one HT Autos front splitter with a STI badge for £2 from eBay on the middle:

I found it easier to jack up each side alternatively and put it on. It would'nt look right if it was colour coded in my opinion.

HI mate - I painted mine - pics in the garage section - I think they look good painted or not - got mine done for £30.

Disadantage of painting is that the splitters do tend to scrub the floor in certain situations, such as coming down the ramps and turning full lock at the same time (such as multi storey car parks). this has happened a few times to me and the paint has cracked slightly in the same place each side of the splitter...

But I will be getting another one and painting it again - I do prefer it painted - it looks more like it should be on the car.
