how do you attach a front splitter?

[blackcarbon]

hi iv have just recieved my front splitter off ebay, i think it is a skoda one. Do you have to drill holes in it to attach it?

Pilot holes and self tapping screws is how most people do it iirc.

Not the best few pics but, i found it easiest to take off the bumper, line the splitter up (start in the middle) tape it into place, i didn't bother with pilot holes the plastic seems very soft and used about 20 self tappers to hold it in place

You should have a little overlap at each end like this

then i just used a stanley to cut the ends off

also forgot to say cut off these little raised parts, will make it sit better under the bumper,

and should look like this (sorry for the condition of my bumper, needs a respray)

i cut the end bits off and then glued them back on at the ends so it looks normal.Think its better than just cutting straight down

What? :S

You dont have to take the bumper off, just raise the car high enough to get a drill/screw driver under it
