I should be getting these parts tomorrow so will double check that all is ok and its exactly what I need. I know some of the pins are still ok, but they are quite corroded so may as well be replaced. |
Took the bumper to bits last night. Bumper removal was dead easy. Loosening the splitter was not. Angle grinder came out to sort the 2 middle bolts. Now been replaced with stainless steel items.
Have extended the splitter about half-way - full extension really looks a bit silly for day-to-day use. Certainly does not look like this was ever going to be on-car adjustable! Will see how it goes with the splitter out - hopefully not too much grounding.
Interestingly, comparing the underside of my car with Baz's Evo, it looks like the GT is much better protected from undercar shrapnel - both by the splitter itself and by a metal rather than plastic panel.
Hope to post pix of the splitter soon...

Well I just got a royal shafting from the dealer for the assortment of nuts and washers .... £73 for a bag of metal!
Some of the parts have broken and seized up, others will need to be removed with force and will break, so needed them but at that price, I was amazed. Right, thats the last money they're getting out of me for at least a couple of weeks ...

i.r.o. £500 I fear
We know it's £187+VAT for the splitter itself, never mind the bracketry. £73 for the fittings :-/ The mounting unit is metal so won't be cheap and needs loads of wee fixing doofer to attach all that is required...
