Having a metal one up front would worry me, as they are held on the same as the plastic ones and if it came off, as they do,It could cause a fair bit of damage! I wouldn't want it ripping a hole in a tire at speed IYSWIM

My car was set up very low with no problems over speed bumps so not a problem..

Anyone got a pic of this fitted to their car?

He just did

anyone with a photo of one on the car - I'm looking for one to fit my S series

[SILICONE KID]

Its a bit confusing,mine is fitted far back as possible with the scoop part to the front of the car,some have been fitted the other way..Which is correct..

[carsy]

Mine hasn`t got one at all. Pictures of splitter n fixings needed please.

What is its main purpose? presumably does something for handling.

[SILICONE KID]

Contact Gizzer ,he will post you one or even two! and give advice..

It makes a ting sound and then you see it in your rear view mirror.




Never had one on my 400 but did on the 500, not convinced they make much difference to be honest.

[assynt road]

The spliters function is actualy to lower the air pressure under the bonnet, so as to help to stop it lifting at speed, it has nothing to do with the cars handling. It has been called a spliter, but really it ain't!. The flappy bit faces forward, opposite to the way you would expect, to cause drag and divert air down.

My guttering one fitted about 3 years ago before I attacked the underside, (good god man it looks a state!).
