Skoda Splitter HowTo!?

[SaMk2]

It' probably a lot more straight forward than I think, but I'm looking to get the Skoda splitter on my 182.
I know it's a lot bigger and has to be cut down, but is there any guide about or anyone drop me any tips that might come in handy?

Sincere Regards,
An Absolute Novice

It's nice and easy.

Cut off the raised tabs.

line up the centre of the splitter with the centre of the bumper. Get a friend to hold it/use tape to hold in place.

Wack in some self tappers (be sure not to detach the wheel arch liners)

Trim the ends down with a sharp knife to match the shaped of the bumper.

Have a beer and admire your handiwork

Literally as simple as that ^^^^

I wish I had some mates.

​What do the self tappers screw into?

Flol

and the bottom/underside of the bumper mate !

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

It seems as easy as that if your mates will actually help you, AND screwing the tapers in by hand.

Okie doke... easy to screw in by hand? And I dont have axle stands or anything.

​THere is a convenient puddle in the drive though so maybe I could just lie in that? Crying.

I took the bumper off and turned it upside down. Was an easy 1 person job then. Bumper takes 5 mins to get off.

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Its a pain to do it by hand, got cramp loads!
Same I drove it on my drive which has a 75% decline so i just rolled under it.

Ive had a fabia splitter sat in my shed for about 2 months. Im soo lazy and have terrible tools for jobs lol.

Anyone wanna help me for a pack of donuts/beers ?

 

[James28]

Have a search. There's a couple of full guides written up iirc.

My wag no problem mate .

​If you really want to do it then you can.. But you don't have to if you don't want to

[banther]

I took ages to do mine because I never took the bumper off and done it upside down. I definitely recommend taking the bumper off!

Offered to fit it, but didn't read page two.

Tin snips to cut it though? Household scissors would be better man!

It made light work of the plastic, I didn't really need any element of finesse with scissors, so they did alright.
