[Robz_Fester]

Check my site, look under other fiestas, then Brad si.

HT, Rob.

[zetec69]

Yeah get a Seat Cordoba item for £20 from a seat dealer brand new. As on my car. Brad

[si sexpert]

ordered mine on saturday, shoul be on for Ford Fair, but not painted.

[TJ]

No doubt about this one.
ZETEC69, is da man.

I followed his advice, and its looks great.

Easy to fit (well people told me it was, took me 4 1/2 hours, over two nights)

Ive caught it a few times, but still looks great.

Well worth the £20, much better than the do-doty renault one, that they wanted £57 for.
Go for it.

[zetec69]

yeah!

[Minty]

TJ, Zetec69, have you got a part number for this? or what year of vehicle it is off?

Thanx

[matthewhignett]

right, I am having a go at fitting one next week, what type of splitter is urs brad, seat ibiza/cordoba/toledo, how much, what was the year it was made for, and a brief fitting instructions of it, I want to cable tie, is it possible, or do I need s-tappong screws etc....also as I am running 40mm lower than normal ride height, I aint gonna lose it over a small bump am I? cheers ppl + brad!

[zetec69]

Minty - sorry mate don't have a part number, I just asked for a Seat Cordoba splitter at the Seat dealer but I think it's off a new model - ask TJ he might know [ERRR] he bought his more recently than me.

Matthew - as mentioned above it's a cordoba item mate, was £20 & TJ might know what year. To fit it you'll need to drill some holes in your front valance(just underneath the front bumper on the flat ridge) then drill matching holes in the splitter. You can use screws to fix it in place or use cable ties as I did [ERRR] then it just pops off if you hit it hard instead of damaging the valance. I was running -35mm springs with 17"s and I only caught it a couple of times - you might catch it a bit more with smaller wheels but if you're careful you should be okay dude.

[TJ]

When it calms down in work a little, i'll go and get the serial number for you.
Sorry for the delay.

I used cabl ties on mine, My car aint lowered, but i still catch it on some speed bumps, if i dont slow down, alot.

[matthewhignett]

cheers ppl, TJ if you couldget the serial no for mythat would be first class, I think I will be taking a trip to Mr Seat 2morrow then guys, as for the rest of today, car cleanign and possibly painting calipers if the weather holds out!

[TJ]

Im thinkin of painting mine aswell. What colour do you reckon?

Green car, with red seatbelts.

[Wooly]

Part no anyone?

[TJ]

Sorry for the delay, but here it is:

Seat splitter part number:
6k0805903hb41

[matthewhignett]

tJ, CHEERS for the p.no, as for the calipers, I went traditional red in the end and bottled out of doing the m bright green, could try going gold, depends on th colour of your car, but gold does look well good, just not on mallard green, make the alloys looks v.dirty with green cars, or could go silver, yellow, blues (not sure about), or red cos u know what u r in for! cant get splitter for about another million years, got a ltter from my insurers saying I need a cat 2 or I aint covered for theft, so have just shed out £130 for a cobra jobbies, and got it fitted 2day, oh well need to ask for more hours at work, my student overdraft is getting battered, plus mot and service 2morrow, I is gonna have to talk to mr bank manager and ask for another extension on already huge overdraft!

[Sp00ny]

I can't be arsed to go outside and look, so is the Si rear bumper a similar shape and size to the front, ie could you fit the splitter at the back too???

Not really the same shape, as the rear bumper has a flatter middle section, and has no where to attach the splitter too.

But if anyone knows different tell me cos, i was looking to do this aswell.

[TJ]

FAO Matthewhignett,

mate its only £20, and easy to fit. And makes one hell of a difference.

[Wooly]

Cheers bob, and you bob, not forgetting bob in the corner -

CHEERS BOBS

[si sexpert]

got mine sprayed fitted and fitted the day be 4 ford fair, well impressed for only 20 quid, the best and cheapest mod i eva did! did any 1 see my car at ford fair, blue si, twin lites, turbo bonnet, smart indicatorz, above spoiler, parked near the north gate on the end near the drivy bit?

[Sp00ny]

Probably did see it, but at FF, unless you spend silly amounts of cash on your car it usually goes unnoticed i'm afraid. For every 5 fezzy's that were really nice there was 1 that was absolutely mint, and thats the one everyone remembers.

Back to the bumper thing, anyone know if those corner spats off mk 5/6 escort Si/Gti's will fit the Si back bumpers? Cos if i get 2i skirts + arches, and a seat front splitter, the back bumper won't be at the same level will it? It needs bringing down a bit to follow the same lines.

[Sp00ny]

I think i worded that badly, no offence intended! Not saying your car isn't mint, but if you asked me which fiesta's i remember from FF, i'd say 'The one with the 306 headlights', or 'The one with the mad pink pearl paint job'

You have to do something outrageous to be remembered, which is a shame, cos people can spend loads of time and money on their car, and it'll still be just another averagely mint car.

[si sexpert]

i agree mate, I was thinkin the same thing about the rear spats but at ford fair on the "mad about wheels stall" there was a rear si bumper and a genuine gti rear spat, i lined it up but it didnt want to go! it prob could be done but only with a lot of filler!

[Sp00ny]

Never mind, eh?

Do you agree, would the rear look a bit daft if i had 2i skirts n arches, and a seat splitter at the front?

What can bring it down a bit (cheaply)?

[si sexpert]

i know what you mean, picture this, i have a standard ford si front with colour coded seat cordoba splitter, rs2000 side skirts, and standard si rear, thats why i was wondering about the gti spats! it looks nice but needs something at the back, i was wondering about a R and A rear difuser but not sure how or where i could mount it? Any one done one? Personaly i do hate cars that are lower round back than front, know what i mean?

[MadcatCraig]

ok i got me splitter how the hell do i fit it ?
i went in and asked for the cordoba 2000 splitter and gave them the serial nuber so its the right one, Now its two big scrapes the wheels ? anyone got any pics of this and tips on how to trim it to fit or if i have wrong one help my car looks like a 4x4 without anything on the front.

Oh to whoever said 2i skirtz + arches look gay i dont think so ! i got 2i rear bumper and body kit and Si front bumper me thinks it l00ks the dogz !

[MadcatCraig]

oh at present i have 14" wheels steel and the suspension is standard not lowered reading back methinks i got wrong one ?? me will take piccies of it at weekend when i get me camera back to post for u ideas please

[TJ]

Line up the Splitter, then take to it with a hacksaw.

Hack about 4 inches off either side then, line up again, mark where you need to cut to then cut. Keep doing this until you are happy.
Make sure you can still turn your wheels with out them catching?

A few people have drilled the meatl just behind the bumper and screwed it on.
But i just used cable ties through the hole in this metal.

TIP**
On either end, drill in the the plastic arch behind the wheel, then attach a cable tie here. Thus holding the ends in place.

[si sexpert]

i would cut aprox 3 inch off each side so it dont catdh wheels then start to atatch with cable tyes, screws or bubblegum if you want, but i would work from the centre out, then trim the ends last.

[MadcatCraig]

Cheers TJ where can i get a bonnet like that or how u do it ?

Cheers

[Project]

What about the Cossie chin splitter for the Si? Fibresports do one...

[TJ]

MADCAT It aint my car mate, i jsut stole the piccie.

It has a smoothed bonnet, (badge and swage line removed) and a bad boy conversion.

All done by a good bodyshop.

[MadcatCraig]

Cheers all for your help thought id show u the finished profuct
