Re: Fiesta rs /Rs1800 Front Splitter options
My front towing eye got cut off when i had to drop the gearbox, bumper's bonded on in places so couldn't be arsed to mess about lol, anyway, when I broke down I told the AA fella and he arranged for a recovery truck that picked the car up by the wheels instead

Might have to purchase 3 bits 2 x left hand side and one right hand side.
Then i can cut the left side to allow for a tow fitting to be fitted, and the removable panel I craft from the extra piece will hide the it.
Il keep yu posted next week, shall order tomorrow

Re: Fiesta rs /Rs1800 Front Splitter options
Well i popped in the garage today to remove my carbon splitter that i had temporarily made.
I offered the new half i had up and its slightly deeper than the one i had on there so all is well.
Should hope to update more tomorrow/tuesday with the new one fitted.
Stage one - OLD SPLITTER REMOVED.

Re: Fiesta rs /Rs1800 Front Splitter options
I held it in place and was happy
I need to trim the plastic tabs off so it fits on the edge closest to the wheel, thought best wait until the bumper is off and the other half is here.
