what size self tapping screws do i need to fit the lcr splitter to my fr bumper?

maybe a daft question as well, but where do you screw through the splitter onto the bumper as i am a little at a loss looking at the splitter currently

literally down to personal choice mate

just take a trip down to focus/homebase etc and have a look. Id certainly say no bigger then like 6/7mm head - they dont need to be huge as you'll put about 4 each side

nice one i am heading to b&q later so thought i'd better ask, i assume the screws just go through the splitter at certain bits to fit it?

This is an easy mod: jack up front of motor, tape the splitter in place (if you have the Cupra bumper then you will have to cut down the 2 centre lugs to 10mm), drill 3mm pilot holes thru splitter & bumper underneath, screw the splitter up onto the bumper, lower the motor, remove tape and stand back with huge grin as to wot a difference this makes...........easy as :D

I must admit , we used the plastic number plate scres on the splitter we fitted to my fella`s octavia
It was a good job we did , as he hit a deer and it ripped the splitter off
instead of damaging the bumper it just ripped off the splitter and snapped the bolts
