Front lip spoiler / splitter options

[nickgreg]

What are my options for replacing this with something vaguely OEM? The couple of cracks present from when I bought the car have finally developed to a point where more duct tape isn't going to work...

K-Tec seem to have two kinds, both of which are expensive as it's likely to be a consumable item given the state of the roads. Any other good ideas?

One option is to fit one from the Skoda Fabia and cut to size as it's longer than the original. Haven't checked the price/availability of said item but there's a thread here about it.

Front Splitter

Hi Folks. Can somebody tell me where I might be able to get a new front splitter from? And aprox how much it might be. I had a very slight mishap and removed the passenger side corner of mine. So I need to replace the hole thing. Ta.

Correct OEM one - price is in Euro's so works out around £125 plus delivery -

Thanks both. I like the price of the Fabia one but perhaps a bit too home made!

Any experience of using the Renaultsport shop? i.e. issues with customs?

You should have no issues as you will checkout under £140 - if you go over then they will charge you import taxes as Ed found out

Kam Racing also sell the Ragnotti splitter.

Saves any stress from import duty letters/invoices surprising you a couple of weeks after the goods arrived. Seems the duty can end up being any sort of figure plucked from a hat by the courier company. My experience would make me wary of ordering higher priced items from Oreca France again, though not their fault admittedly.

Cheers - just ordered so fingers crossed.

If that link was an elaborate scam to send you 180 euros, it'll be with you shortly

I think I should be - however I'm just on with finishing a degree in French

They do look good fitted though Nick, and you definitetly won't be disappointed when it turns up - they are also programmed to avoid curbs and holes in the road -

The splitter arrived in about 5 days, with no shipping or customs issues (yet). Wasn't particularly well packed but it survived the journey. Just have to fit it now...

That's another 20% commission coming my way -
