Splitter Removal
« on: May 04, 2011, 09:50:34 am »
Going to get it sprayed up and it works out cheaper and easier (don't need to leave car) if I can get it removed?

Is it easy to do or is it best left on as it will be hard to put back on again?

Cheers chaps!

There are about 12 screws underneath the splitter, just lie down next  to the front bumper and you can see most, and feel for the others.
Then just carefully but forcefully pull the splitter off starting at one end and moving along.

Sorry to bump this up, i removed all the bolts, started to give the sides a tug and nothing? Deffo removed all bolts, it was on the ramp in quick fit, didn't want to pull too hard in the end.

Any tips?

Could also be glued with trim tape!

Just pull mate, that's the only advice i  can give, if it is held on with tape, a  careful hand with a stanley knife may do the trick.

As well as the screws there are a shed load of tough plastic clips to remove - same as the lower part of the rear bumper.  Think it will be a screwdriver to prise them undone.

Tried to remove mine this weekend however the early dark evenings won!
