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...

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 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...

You may need a few new pieces on the spoiler once you have stripped it down. The pins and springs holding it in place on mine were seized and some broke .... its in a prime location for rust and grime to get into it, so I am replacing all mine so it can be adjusted when I want. |
Interesting... any hints/tips on part numbers?

I will warn you, when fully extended, it sticks out the front of the car by 6 inches or so, full on touring car stylee but driving around with it fully out might end up with the whole front end being ripped off the car! Does look good though!!

I'm taking my bumper to bits next week so that I can sort out the splitter. Really pump up the aggression factor

Nice! I've been looking at the GT for a few months now. A chap near my work has a GT2, well it has the GT spoilers and is in that darker red colour. Looks more aggressive than the usual E36 M3. Much prefer the BRG though.
Well done!

I love the GT, i know the colours not everyones taste but when they are blinging they do look nice, and the amount of people that will turn and watch the car as you go by is amazing! I do think they look aggersive and certainly have a different look.
