Guide : How to fit Leon front splitter

[Armegatron]

Looks cracking Shaun, I might do it to mine

[Shaun L]

Do it! You need to take a lot of material off the two prong things. And the non VRS bumper is a little more sloped under the bumper so it takes quite a while to align it.

Its already been asked and answered earlier but I cant be fudged looking through it all but... how much did it cost you for the splitter?

[Shaun L]

The dealer just said £20. They had ordered one in and the person hadn't come for it.

Dont know what it looks like on the older front end though.

Thanks for the guide mate - followed it and now the front of the car really looks the business - gives it a bit more aggressive look.

No need to paint the Black ABS on a Black Magic car either!

Cheers

I must get some self-tappers

Shouldnt be too hard to fit, if I can get the self-tappers things should be fairly easy to drop on

I need to get my backside in gear and order one, £20 quid you cant fall off

OK I know I'm going out on a limb here but:

Has anyone else noticed that the front wheels seems slightly better planted after this mod?

(I KNOW I have an overactive imagination, just performing a reality check here)

looks good but am unsure of what bits need grinding or sanding. did you have to do and reshaping or bending to get it to fit??

[andypandypoos]

does look good on the fabia, but looks decent (better? :P ) on a focus (not mine)

[skudmissile]

just got round to doing mine, well chuffed looks the part

[Akebono]

Can anyone post more pics of the splitter on a non-RS bumper?

Had a look at mine while it's up on jack stands - all the self-tapping screws have started to rust something bad. Will drill through and aluminium pop-rivet the thing properly......

Thanks Andy, but to my understanding that is not a fabia ... yet. I was looking as I have said for fabia's with non-RS bumpers

[seano47]

looks great think i might have to purchase one

[carlisleboy]

just done this to my black magic fabia as the "1st" mod!!! looks the absolute dogs:D

Bit of a thread resurrection here..

But would this be roughly the same for fitting on a Mk1 Octy vRS ?

I pick mine up on tuesday (30/10) It'll be a couple of weeks 'til i can fit it, So if you want to dry fit it on yours to get an idea. I'm not that far from you. Just let me know.

[Johnny50]

Mike that would be great.

Maybe do that, and i'll order one and do the fitting at the same time if you need a hand.

I can maybe get access to a ramp if that would make the job quicker/easier.

[Johnny50]

Did you get the splitter Mike ?

[Mike B]

Aye, gives a shout, Off Thurs, Fri (Got ankle biter though) & Sun, Sh1tty mid shift on Sat & Back shift all next week Mon-Sat (Bu66ers up the plan to come along to the meet) then 8 days off woo hoo

Probably best to use A4 stainless steel self-tappers for their corrosion resistance. These are available from screwfix, but I think B&Q just sell the zinc plated things.
