DS3 front spoiler

[mattds3sport]

No no bumper removal needed. I just used ramp at sptuning and fixed it on. Although some trimming will be needed to get ir to fit snuggly.

How fixed Matt- Nut n bolt, rivet, clips, adhesive or combination?
Also theres a rubber trim on the THP where the splitter should be. Is that removed or just hidden. Spose it must be removed?

You need to remove existing rubber lip, it just unclips.
Once removed offer up the new splitter, it should over hang the edge of the bumper on each side by around 2-3 cm's. We found it easier to hold in place temporarily with masking tape. When you've got it position you can seen what bits need trimming off the splitter for a more snug fit. Leave the 2-3cm ends until you've got it properly fixed on. We fixed ours by drilling through the splitter and bumper with a 3.5mm drill bit and then securing with screws. Tip- drill and fix front edge first, then do each side last, this helps you align it whilst you drill the holes down the sides.
Finally trim the ends off flush with bumper edge. Hacksaw is best for this job.
Shouldn't take you much longer than an hour providing you have got the tools handy.

Warning thread revival
Not the spoiler- does anyone know if they do the wheel arch extensions as on the DS3r as aftermarket kit, or spares?
Thinking bout fitting to the THP- Same body as DS3r are they not?
As for the front spoiler, decided not to change as the rubber flexible one on mine has taken a couple scrapes on kerbs and speed bumps
And if I fitted a hard spec plastic spoiler- it would be ripped off after a while

Cheers Fish- I Googled for an hour and got nowhere
Good job someone knows there way around
Not doing them then- will wait for copies and cheaper

Those are the cheap copies, real ones are astronomical in price

Yep- been quoted £700 odd for a set
Any idea of the differences?
May see if I can go custom made

Real ones are carbon fiber the others are not.

As Cyclone says, I'm pretty sure the DS3R ones are real carbon fiber. Although I'm sure the cost is just because they're official parts, you might be able to get some custom fabricated for cheaper.

Musketier have some also, not sure if these are the same as the cituning ones too.

[Chris_Blue]

Nice one Fish- interesting site
Seen it before and tried joining it before
Couldnt see the prices so tried joining up again today, but didnt accept my details, again

Shame- liked the look of the BLACK Tiberon kit- only wheel extensions trim tho

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.

[cyclone]

Hi, I do not have the arches but do have the rear diffuser panel from Musketier and the fit is spot on with that.
