Not that I'm waiting for pics or anything! lol

[vrs-si]

haha still waiting for it to be delivered. im as eager as you guys. i think the armrest will be a little while longer as it has to come from china or somewhere lol

[ethos]

Looking forward to seeing the arm rest too.

Does it just fit over the original center piece?

[vrs-si]

yes ive had a look at where it fits. basically take out the small tray in the centre console for it to fit through. scew it down and wallah done. althoug im sure it wont be that easy. nothing ever is lol

[ethos]

Haha, yea I know!

Something will either;

Snap off

Bend

Cut you

Not fit

Place your bets now!

[vrs-si]

As your all excited about the splitter, this is what it looks like on my red Octy vRS:-

[westyRS]

This is my car with the seat splitter.

I thought it looked a bit much so i later took it off

[vrs-si]

i got mine off flea bay but wasnt the 29 quid rip off guy.

i just got it today but need self tapping screws so off to focus hopefully will have her done by tonight if not tomorrow morning.

beretta did you chop the tops of the centre prongs off then screw it in??

Yep, just cut the two centre prongs to size and fitted it, just be careful you dont cut too much off the prongs at first.

I used stainless steel bolts and washers to fix it and only a couple of self tappers to hold in place and line it up.

They are only £25 from a main Seat dealer.

At speed you do notice the extra downforce, not that I ever speed .

[vrs-si]

im using self tappers all round but got a cpl of slim screws for the prongs

I've just collected mine from the dealer last night so will have a go at fitting it in the next few weeks...... I'm gonna employ the mrs to assist in holding it in place so should be fun. :D:D

Cheers

Dave.

I know this should be a PM but gmaster has too many stored messages or something :(

Anyway I'm in Devon and have an unfitted splitter sitting in my garage that I may be prepared to part with for less than the current retail price. PM me a working e-mail address if you're interested.

I will be fitting the 40 groove discs tomorrow so will post pics of them once done and during fitting

disregard as i need new pads beofre fitting these.

[WaveyDavey]

Good helpful pics.....

I've got some good wide masking tape as an option instead of the mrs for holding mine in place when i fit it..... For the furby it's reccomended to cut the splitter slightly to help bend it in a little at the ends so as to match the contour of the bumper so i'll have to see how i go.

Cheers
