Front Lip/Splitterhaving 1 fit at the weekend ,has anyone had problems with speed bumps etc ? also the paint on my winglets as cracked like crazy paving pobably with flexing anyone had the same problem?
No problems with speed bumps, were 25 mm lower that standard to, main concern with splitters being caught are when parking , if you drive in possible chance you will hit the kerb, so reverse in everytime
2007 BMW M5
2004 Petter Solberg STi
thanks for the advice, reverse parking it is!!!
Av got to go up my drive way at an certain angle or else my bumper scrapes the ground
Focus ST's rule!!!
Foley thats my biggest fear in getting one is getting into the drive its the only thing stopping me getting one.
I've asked on another thread but got no reply so i'll ask again....Can some one do me a favor if they have a splitter is to measure how much it lowers the front in the middle of the bumper, i.e the depth of the splitter from the bottom of the bumper to the bottom of the splitter & also the height from the ground to the bottom of the splitter. Would really appreciate this as there is a group buy on SN that finishes tomorrow for the HTAutos splitter.
When I brought my WR1, it had none original front spiltter. The only reason I say this, is because it was carbon fibre and had many cracks in it. So I replaced it with original one from Subaru which is platsic. It does slightly catch on speed bumps, so I always take it easy over speed bumps and I think the previous one was cracked by getting off a kerb. So I would advise taking it easy if you get front splitter.
Gee Wr1, if I get a chance I'll get you the measurements.
Heres the new splitter from http://www.preciousmetal-online.co.uk/

the splitter ive just had fit which is very similar to ht autos one is 7cm from middle bumper to bottom of splitter and 13.5cm from bottom of splitter to the ground hope this helps!!
Cheers Zedder your a star bud
Will be out with the measuring tape in the morn to see if i clear the drive, fingers crossed
I expect it will be fine over speed bumps but can get caught on kerbs while parking. The other thing to do is to avoid the urge you get when going around country lanes to put your foot down when you see a little hump back bridge.
