It is quite easy to fit Euan

I'm inept at D.I.Y stuff haha

Get yourself some of these to help Euan

They'll hold it in place whilst you finalise the position and then you can drill and fit on your own !!!

Cheers Chris. I think my dad may have some lying around the garage so when i get my next day off and its not windy i may give it a bash

Piece of cake to fit euan. Just don't drill the holes to high up at the rear of the splitter as there won't be enough clearance to get the buy on the fixing bolts. That said if you do its not really a problem as any cock ups can't be seen unless someone crawls under your car to have a look

[Euan]

Cheers den, im gonna give it a bash today and clamp it on

[Euan]

Just had a look at the fittings. I assumed they'd be screws but I need an alling key so ill probably fit it at a later date as it's pouring with rain :/

[den2712]

Make sure youve got a spanner that fits the nuts too Euan, theres no room to get in with a socket

[Euan]

Well after having no time for me to fit my splitter im sending my car to a local bodyshop to get it fitted.

Should be on by Wednesday so ill send a pic when it's on

Plasti dipped my chrome wheel bolts today. Just waiting on them drying so ill leave them over night to dry. Pics will be on tomorrow.

Also waiting for my dad to come back from Thailand next Friday so he can help me fit my splitter .

[Euan]

So here we are, my plasti dipped chrome wheel bolts. Let me start by saying I can't believe how easy it was. I'm one of those people who can't do D.I.Y for s**t haha.

Any way here's the before and after.







(Apologies for the dirty wheels. Haven't had a chance to wash it lol)

They look really good. I should probably have done that with mine instead of buying new ones haha.
