Front Splitter

[Big Dave]

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.

Front Splitter from renault is -

OE part No - 820 0248 910
OE Price - £121.10 + vat

Most people buy the Skoda fabia splitter at a rough cost of £14

Or there's the K-Tec carbon offering for £120

There's quite a noticeable difference between the Skoda splitter and the original Cup one. The Skoda splitter also needs some modification to fit, and still, never quite looks right (in my opinion of course).

The skoda one is a lot longer.
You need to measure it up in the centre, screw it on with small self tapping screws and then cut the edges off as it is a lot longer at than the standard one.

Seeing this make me think my carbon splitter is past it now. Think im going to have to bite the bullet and buy a new one

 

[Mikeyjp]

Just spray the carbon one

 

[trophy427]

Spray with what?

 

[Tommo.]

Flat it back and re-lacquer. It will look like new after :up:

Mine was totally chipped to bits, scuffed and very very badly stone chipped with a lot of scuffs.
20mins rubbing it down with some fine wet & dry and then popped into the body shop to be sprayed with lacquer and its like new again.

 

[trophy427]

I will give that a go then before thinking about buying a new one. I got a body shop at work so ill be over there next borrow the spray guns

 

[Big Dave]

Has anybody got any clear pictures of the trimmed ends of the Skoda fabia splitter fitted to the car.

 

[Big Dave]

Nobody got any pics of this.???

 

[MarcB]

Dave line the splitter up from the centre out to the ends of the bumper.
Once thats done you will have over hand at either side with the splitter being bigger.

I used a kitchen bread knife and sliced the ends off on the car = Job done

 

[Big Dave]

Ta Marc.
But I havnt even bought a splitter yet.
I don't want to spend £15 ish on a skoda one if it doesnt look good...
I have been told they don't look very good...
