Looks very nice but a word of warning; they don't last long if you forget it's on there. Very vulnerable with the lower suspension.

give multi-storey car parks a miss too. i for some reason visited the kind edward in windsor which i am convinced is THE worst car park to get in and out of at the weekend and did i annoy the people behind me taking it slowly and doing 10 point turns to get round the bends !!

Put your mudflaps in the high position. Not only they don't scrape anywhere, they also stick more out of the body of the car and protect the sides better. I had ours in high position on our STi (also on Prodrive suspension) and even with the lumps and bumps we get in winter formed by packed snow, they never came off. (They f*cking discoloured massively though Prodrive of course said that was normal... While Scott Lowe had the same supplier and same problem but he sent his customer replacements that had been made of the new plastic that did NOT discolour...)

Our flaps are in the low position and they have never caused a problem? Yes, one was ripped off but it would have happened in the high position too.... long story! Besides, the flaps look poo in the high position IMHO

Stuff what the swede (torrekens says) put them in the low position and they be ok and look much better Only warning to be made aware of, is when reversing over and by kerbs, whether the in hi or low positon they will rip off....ask jd mr cornflake packet license Fit them low

I can see the benefit of fitting them high as the 1 does suffer from stones and sh1t being flicked up onto the bodywork But hey they look much better low, so fit them low And as for splitters they are There are plenty of things that will make your splitter leave the front of your car as quick as it was put on though. The worst offender for damage without full removal is a kerb when pulling forwards into a parking bay, leaves a lovely set of marks along the full length of the splitter Just remember its there and you'll have now probs, its certainly worth the hassle

Presa and whoever else has a splitter, a tip for preserving it.... dont fit it ... Seriously do not drive into parking bays which have kerbs, reverse in instead .............. and rip your mudflaps off instead Also did you know if you reverse out off the parking bay and someone drives in to you, its deemed your fault. So more reason not to drive in All together now REVERSE IN Pooster's top tip for the day

Alternatively you could fit range rover suspension so you can raise the car accordingly
