Got my splitter fitted today

Very nice

nice

Yep, nice one.

Yep,

Nice on Mick it looks pretty good on the pic, I bet it

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.

Very watch out for kerbs and speed humps,

and grass if your name is "GrasscutterBrommel - sir, yes sir"

Thanks

Have to be very very careful....alot of speed bumps in my area

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 !!

I get the same thing - have the mudflaps too and take it really slowly on some bad bumps - and peeps just start hooting

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

It's funny. Most people find they look bad in high position.

Is that purely on the WR1 (because of the combination with the larger 18" wheels) or in general ?

I found that hanging them low made it look as if I fitted 4 tails to my car.

Considering how much trouble one tail already gets me in, I thought I'd avoid that


Few pics to judge... Imagine what they'd look like hanging an inch lower still

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

Fit them low

ask Woza aswell!

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

What have I started

... a good healthy debat relating to the cars we love... That makes a change for the content of the WR1oc

And plenty of tips on taking care while parking

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

Good idea - air suspension / air lift
