Evening to you, what options are there or even mods currently done on Mk3 fiesta front bumpers.

[jayrs]

i think the bigger one looks better, its in 2 parts off a VW i think, im on my new pc and havent copied over all my files so cant bung a pic up but im sure someone will know what i mean and bung a pic up for me

[luca]

Yes im liking the one on Shells car

[jayrs]

[Max M4X WW]

A custom carbon fibre one?

You have hacked my mind


Im wanting the VR6 one but will need to see how well it fits the bumper without bending to much, to see how it can be molded

Has anyone any pics please of a bumper fitted with one?

I know Shell has a splitter

[jonboisescort]

i used to have one
i would take some pics but dont have it no more
the fit is good just neeed cutting in the middle

[luca]

Just ringing around now

I have a VR6 splitter mate. Its not perfect, ie its a bit scuffed etc, i got it from some guy from the forum. Cant be bothered fitting it myself. I'll be visiting the workshop next weekend (22nd/23rd) if its of any use.

[luca]

Let me know price and condition mate when you dig it out drop me a text il pm you my number.

Has it been cut down yet or is it still in vr6 size

thankyou mate.

[Project_XR2i_Trackcar]

I've no idea if its been cut down, i havent even attempted to fit it yet. Its hung up in my wksp, in two pieces. I'll be able to get it next weekend (22/23).

IRRC its scuffed from previous use but I'm sure it could be cleaned up ok. All the original VW clip thingies are in place still.

I think i paid £25 delivered, i've unwrapped it and thats about it. £20 to your door and its yours.


Just found the link from where i bought it, pics included:

(Edit - just seen where you are, just down the road. If you collect you can have it for £15)

MCR (if you can find one)

[luca]

Cheers mate, i shall let you know tomorrow morning, in my haste i asked a mate who works at a vag specialist so need to see what he has found tomorrow.

Many thanks for posting the pics, thats just the job that.

How exactly do they fit anyone??

Is it exactly the same shape on the corners or does this cutting etc.
Or does it just screw straight on.

[jonboisescort]

i cut a v shape out of the top of the splitter

the red lines are were you need to cut it

[luca]

You sir are a legend

VR6 splitters are very easy to fit

The bend pretty good if you manage to drive them into anything although because they are plastic to scuff pretty good too

Don't drive into anything. Simple

[Knox]

I think the laguna splitter looks pretty smart as well, but obviously isn't as deep as the VR6 one.Personally
think the VR6 one looks tougher though and have one sat in the attic, all I need is a fiesta to put it on

Hard not to when it was on with 60mm+ with the coilovers

Suppose i will let you off, but still, you should be able to drive and not hit anything

I like that

[bakewell001]

My pictures are coming back out again!





Not the greatest pictures. Basically as above, you cut a section off each part of the splitter, so it joins up nicely in the middle. It fits the curves of the RS bumper quite nicely! I attached mine with a few self tappers...

If you want to go further, i think Rawli's was moulded into the original RS bumper and colour coded?

[luca]

Couple of questions - please
first thanks for all your pics/comments


1- Are there 2 types of vr6 splitter an early and late... which is the above ?
2- Do you need to cut the fiesta bumper on the ends where the bumper drops down(where the standard fiesta splitter ends..

1. unsure mate

2. i cut the bits off the bumper, but i have also seen some which arent cut too.. looks better with them cut

The worst thing i have found on my splitter is the stress on the corners... where its folded round an screwed into place its starting to split... Good thing i have a spare...!!

Oh and Luke can i suggest a swear jar next to you when fitting it... you'll make a fortune!! ha ha x

All proceeds to you then, I rarely swear but you have me worried

But if you make a swear jar, and your the only one putting the money in your not actually going to make any money

May i suggest getting someone to help or get someone else to do it, and then everytime they swear put the jar in front of them so they can put the money in, then just watch your small fortune emerge

Micky - See you Saturday at 10am we shall fit the splitter, bring a spoon and a friend

[M1K3Y_B]

Should have kept my mouth shut shouldn't i?

Good job i have no money isn't it

Unless you except bits of fluff as a payment

[luca]

Sorted saves me buying screws - fluff and prit stick will suffice

[M1K3Y_B]

If you plan to use Pritt stick, unfortuantely i won't be able to help, as i can't be trusted with it, i get too carried away

[frostie]

what happens when you want to tow your car using the towing eye etc as it either covers it suppose it will bend out of the way but what about RSRAWLI's its moulded in and painted which i think looks the best. any ideas?

[M1K3Y_B]

You can do what Jon has done, cut a hole in the splitter.

Or if you don't cut a hole and it hasn't been smoothed in, you can always take it off

If you car was like Rawli's, you would just have to hope you don't need to use it at any point

Same as mine

If i ever needed to be towed i'd just have to risk it... and if it snapped - buy another
