DS3 front spoiler

[Dangerousfish]

Fish,

Do you happen to know if anyone has bought those? I am interested in having those arches.. I am just not sure about fitment and if one needs to change anything else
to make it look stock.

'fraid not. They have plenty of pictures on their website - may be worth emailing them to see if they could send you over their fitment instructions.

I've seen those arches once on a DS3 from a Dutch tyre supplier. They where in the carbon look and fitment was spot on.

I see. But do you know if they had to install a front lip as well ? I am afraid that installing the arches alone would give a weird look. Maybe you would need to install a rear diffuser and a front lip to follow the wider lines of the arches? I dont know..

Just for future reference, the arches sold by http://www.cituninguk.com will fit only with the front lip and side skirts that they sell. That's what their customer service told me today.

If anyone else has bought a different set of arches that work with the original front lip and skirts please let me know :cool:

Getting back to the front spoiler/splitter
Does anyone know whether its just for show or it does the airflow actually pull the front of the car down, when going faster speed for better grip and more solid steering?
At high speeds that steering dont half get light!!!
Anyone got a bespoke custom made "Spoiler" as I call them

Pretty sure you won't be able to gain enough speed to see any noticeable difference.

So the splitter is just cosmetic then
Doesnt channel the air for better grip?

No idea. Just thought I'd add my 2 pence.

Cheers Fish- very helpful:rolleyes:
My tuppence worth- a properly designed splitter with correct airflow could force the front of the vehicle down providing more traction, better grip, with the increased speed

CZAR- Where are ya LOL

Question for you what do you think is going to happen to that air that goes under the splitter? My guess is not much with underfloor shape of this car.

Would expect it to be channelled away somehow- out the sides?
