hi i had a splitter from moose130 off here..however i tried to put the splitter on with the bumper of the car..and it seems like its about 1/2 inch to short.

when fitting isit best to fit it with the bumper on the car?

cheers..

 

off the car is much much easier.

 

are they ment to be 1/2 inch to short ?

and do i start from one side and work across? and im using silicon to put it on.

 

you probably need to pull the bumper closer to the splitter mate.

 

alot easier off the car, clamp it in the middle and work out, adjusting it to suit as you go

 

They are fiddly and very tight to fit. But do go on and look very nice.

I did end up driling mine near the ends and using cable ties to fit, cos i'm lazy.

 

you lazy bugger

 

il try from the middle then..cheers guys.

 

isit best to pop rivet or use silicon? i nearly had the splitter lined up today and then i got pissed of and left it.. try again on thursday

 

..i put mine on in situ...a very tight fit and fustrating but will go on

 

yh its very tite indeed. when i get the one side lined up and try doing the other side it seems like the splitter is bending out of shape. and i dont want to force it to much in case it breaks.

 

Neither

Silicone won't be strong enough,you will need to use Tecflex or some other brand of seam sealer/car body bonding stuff.

Don't use pop rivets,the splitter is fibreglass and the shock from the rivet gun will crack it all to shit I would think.

I used small stainless allen bolts and lock nuts and washers on mine

I gave up trying to fit my Moose one and sold it,bought a gen RS500 one that had been chopped down to fIt a Saph,much better IMO.

Rouse ones look like snow ploughs IMO!!!!

 

im going to try again i dont want to get another one.. i just got the ne from moose all painted lol

 

clamp in as many places as possible, drill a series of holes along the length and use some small sellf taping screws

 

my carbon one was a perfect fit, but the bumper perfectly flat aswell, as they sligthly missshaped over time, being plastic.

i used large rivets on mine and didnt have a problem.

 

yh we got the carbon one on the rs500 to fit perfectly. but this one is pissing me off do i clamp at the back ? or do i clamp across the splitter and rear of the bumper so the clamp pulls the splitter and bumper together?

 

i started at the end at worked in, i.e riveted it to the side of the bumper, then pulled the bumper hard up agaisnt the splitter the whole way round.

 

Nice!! Where would i get one like this, to fit a saff?

 

dam peice of shit wont go on

 

big wull,the place where i got this made dont do the saph ones sorry.

 

Where did you get the 500 splitter for the old mans car? Im still after one myself.
Good luck with yours but mate!!

 

mike rainird.

 

I think when i fitted mine i started in the middle, what i mean is found the middle of the splitter and the middle of the bumper and fixed it, NUT and BOLT.
Then worked from there with clamps doing one side at a time, this means you don't end up short or long at the finishing end.
Must admit and extra half inch length wouldn't go a miss to aid fitting them.

Another pair of hands would also be handy.

 

is your bumper straight or has it sagged at the bottom like most?

as these are a very tight fit, mine was a pain and my bumper is completely straight

but i got there in the end, easier with the bumper off

and you should of done it before having it painted as then the holes are already in the bumper ready for fitting

i just used self tappers in mine and is one very well

i can get pics if you like as the bumper is off the car

 

yh if you could get some pics mate.. how did you put yours on?

i didnt have the bumper painted. just the splitter.

 

ill go get a pic now

i fitted mine with a load of clamps to get it lined up i had to pull teh bumper to the splitter one side drill the holes and screw it in, then get the other side to fit and do the same then worked on the middle

all before it was painted as you will damage the paint i think if you have already had it painted

ill get a pic up to show you it fitted

 

is this for your saff or the 500, as a saffy is smaller splitter than the 500 have they sent you the right one.

 

photobuckte is playing up and wont upload the pics as soon as it does ill post them for you

this is on the saf isnt it

 

yh for the saph mate.

 

well it let me upload 3 of the pcis lol

not much to look at reayy but this is what mines held in plave with, screws have gone a bit rusty but hey its underneath the car lol

just normal self tappers, havnt ripped it off yet







pic of it on the car

 

iv finaly got it on


but on the edges iv used silicone. and if that dosent hole im going to pre drill a hole and then pop rivit.

on the edge at the bottom i havent pushed the bumper and splitter together. it fits very tite against the bumper so looks very good.

its alot lot easier with the bumper on the car

 

Thats what i did.

 

Self tappers will be better m8.

 

told you it'd go on!

now, just stay away from curbs and you won't have to do it again!

let me know how you get on with teh windscreen hunt though.

Many thanks

 

iv spoken to my contact. got one if you want it. il find out the best price if your after it.

yh it was alot easier with the bumper on the car and look great in gloss black

 

and im more woried about the stupid sie speed bumps out here that the kirbs cry::
