lcr front splitter on seat ibiza freerider

[maxxyibiza]

i am new to the site after only realising you had to become a member after reading up on several other little things for instance brakecalliper paint adn decals,

i have been wondering about getting an lcr splitter for my car!
just wondering if it is a worth while modification

help

 

[BKR]

very worth while in my opinion
tidys up the front of the car very nicely and an easy mod to do

 

[maxxyibiza]

how do you put them on, i have a freerider 1.2 mk4 will it fit

 

[g8rvn]

They have been fitted to both facelift and pre-facelift bumpers without any problems
It took me about 45 mins to fit mine.
Heres a pic of it on my pre-facelifted bumper...

and a side shot

 

[jamest87]

will they fit easily on all mk4's????

 

[g8rvn]

yeah, as far as im aware, its just as easy to fit on the newer shape bumpers aswell, just a case of cutting the splitter flat at the top, self tapping screws all the way round then cut it to match up with the wheelarch

 

[jamest87]

sweet thanks dude seem's pretty easy them.. think i will have to purcase one of those then... nice motor by the way..

how do i know if my model has a facelift bumper

freerider mk4

 

[g8rvn]

the trick I found is to cut the posts in the middle to the same level as the rest of the splitter, so when you screw it up, the splitter doesnt bow in the middle, put a screw in the centre and work outwards each side bending it as you go...

do they get torn off at all, dont want to be left with no front bumper......buying a new front and back bumper on friday because i ended up spinnig out adn through a fence hedge in a field, front wing aswell. dont want to fork out for new parts adn havew them ripped off

 

[Guinness]

There is a guide I made in teh FAQ area that explains everything really needed for fitting. You will tell straight away if yours has a facelift bumper if you check the bumper upgrades part of the FAQ area. Also try a search mate.

 

[maxxyibiza]

it has the facelift bumpers on, like yours(Guiness) iwhtout the non colour coded bit behind the reg-plate.

just don't want to put it on if it will damdge new parts that are making me poor for the month

has yours(guiness) ever come off or been damaged. my friedn had one on is corse irmscher adn ripped off

 

[Guinness]

haha on a corsa irmsher, well vauxhall do come with that silly plastic underneith which always makes me think they are insulting the parking skills of there drivers or saying there build quality is crap.

Anyway facelift bumper is like mine doesnt matter with the colour coded but or not, mine does have the colour coded bit behind the number plate. baisicly if it has rubstrips on the front it is a pre-faclift if it doesnt then its a facelift with the exception of the cupra bumper obviously.

But if you are using small self tapping screws like the ones outlines in my guide you wont damage a thing, the hard bit comes in lining it up correctly bending it and cutting it. Easy mod well worth while and if you do screw up and haven't used silly screws a new on is only £17 so not the end of the world.

As for pulling out, yes they can rip out if you are silly low or drive over speed bumps like a twa* but again long as the screws are short they should only pull the screws out meaning an easy fix. I have had mine on for 1.5years and im low as I can go for my sump and mine hasn't come off.

 

[maxxyibiza]

mine has the facelift bumper aswell.

i think for the freerider and sport rider moddels they threw a load of parts together; before m5k came out.
where abouts can you get them for £17?? cheapest i have seen is £27.
as long as it wont cause damage to a well looked fowarded to front end is shall defo get one.

do you know of any other tastefull little mods?
