Cyclone's project

Beautiful car mate, good job Getting alot of inspiration from ya! Liking the cupra splitter, it fit straight on? Might have to add it to my ever growing wish list!

[cyclone]

Splitter is very easy to fit. Needs to be bent slightly but it is very flexible. Just start in the middle and work out to the wheel wells and trim the last 4cm or so that stick out into the wheel well off. Simple.

I'd like to add the Cupra splitter to mine, my worry is that unless I also lower the suspension it will make the gap to the ground appear even bigger

Connors got the front splitter on his, never seen one on a DS3 mind you.

Edit - Didn't see the picture

[lfcrule1972]

Connor's DS3 is lowered though, I really liked it as FCS but I'm not planning coilovers at present

I agree that without lowering the cupra splitter would look funny. That is one of the reasons I like it is that it gives me more clearance so not hitting everything with the original piece as it would be very close to the ground on mine.

So the old plastic crappy bit of trim on the front should come off pretty easy then yeah!? Found afew cupra splitters on ebay, looking around 40 poonds. Bargain.

2 rivets then all clips

Good point on the ground clearance. The standard front looks quite abit thicker than the cupra. Hmmm.

The Cupra splitter easy to fit, looks fine. To the uninitiated its not noticebale TBH
Doesn't appear any different to ground to splitter clearance over the OEM

Out of the States BSH Speedshop. I like that it came with aluminum adaptors that plug right into the car and the can has a dipstick to check the level. As a bonus will just use a big syringe to empty it from there. I added the covering to the hoses turned out well blends right in.

Have noticed that there are different Cooper catch cans, which one did you go for and I guess all will fit?

The R56 mini cooper s engine is the closest match to ours.

Hi Fabian,
I Used this bolt over the fuse box that was already there.


And fabricated a mount to hold the can between the light and fuse box.

Hey cyclone, do u by any chance have the measurements for the mount ?

Fooda I do not have any measurements I Just made it to fit. I could get some when the weather gets a little better cold and a bit of snow right now.
