Default DIY Splitter

Finally got round to making a front splitter.

took about an hour and cost £45. 3mm Aluminium composite + door edging tape

Whilst the bumper was off i removed my old front lip which keeped scraping speed bumps. i also smoothed the bumper.

previously



After




Front bumper in primer and card template cut out.





Aluminium composite cut out



Bumper painted and fitted with splitter (bumper not bolted up yet, just positioned)





ive still not made my mind up on it yet. it definatly looks more subtle.

hope you all like.

might be tempted to have a crack at a full under body pan.
