Just think, if it weren't the splitter taking the brunt of the damage, it would be your bumper
And that's about £450 + fitting
mine didn't come with, so i've bought one from the dealers.
can i buggery fit it though. just won't clip in
i'll get them to do it, next time i'm there

I had the same problem when I got a replacement one last year after my original splitter just dissappeared
.No matter what I tried I just couldn't clip those 2 middle bits in at all, I got the rest of it in no probs, but those 2 pesky clips in the middle would not go in, I even put a load of grease on them but that didn't help!
In the end my LCR was going in for a service so I asked the dealer to do it which they did, no problem.
Problem now is I need another splitter as current one had a huge crack in it and was hanging down, so I had to rip it off. Just wondering if its worth bothering with another one, although I must admit it does look weird without one.
the easiest way to get the two centre bits in is to use the jack in the boot, do it gently and slowly and it pops them in no probs.

Nice one, will remember that if I decide to buy another splitter, which I no doubt will!!

I keep hitting it on low curbs it looks quite shabby now but for £16 . I find with mine if you give it a good bang just where the clip is it goes back in.

im on my 3rd!!!!!! although it is speed bump heaven in staffordshire!!!!!! they need to spend money on the holes in the roads not putting more obstacles!!!!!![[:@]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/furious.gif "Furious [:@]")
multi storeys!!!...oh my god.
I have to go at a 45 degree angle down each slope to prevent the splitter scraping.
Gets quite a lot of looks from behind though when I do it, people think I am some kinda nutter going in every direction but straight. Hehe...

The middle clips are a right pain. Put the car up on a ramp and its easy, you just cant get the same arm power when the car is on the ground. Jack trick works well too!!
