Default RS500 splitter question

Random one this...

Which is longer; one to fit a 3dr bumper, or one that fits a Saph? Got a couple of these sitting about, but they appear to be different lengths, so was wondering which is which!

Perhaps I wasn't being clear enough. These are RS500 replica splitters, but there are differences in length, so I assume one is to fit a 3dr bumper and one is to fit a Saph bumper.

Just wondering which is which as I don't have bumpers to hand to test them on!

Jim is right, sorry was just out of bed before - yep the 3dr one is slightly bigger as my 3dr came with one to fit a Sapphire - see picture for the size of gap between the 2

Yeah, boot floor with and without tank fitted. Some tank dimensions would be handy too if you get a sec

Dimensions are a start! I'll see if someone else can provide pics, as you have failed

Will have to pop over soon so we can sort the splitter
