Front splitter sits exactly the same as mine. Did your tape work?

Tbh the splitter doesn't sit perfect, fitter said its under a lot of tension. The tape isn't really worth having on is it! The tension and screws are holding it better than the tape!!

What sort of difference does the exhaust make if any have to say its looks better than the pea shooter. the other additions look fab.

the splitter sits the same as mine.i think they make a great addition to the car.i just think they need a little more black to contrast with sill vinyls and maybe black wheels.

keeping them clean is the hardest part of owning a white car!

I'm still not sure about the vinyls, and not a fan of full on black wheels, would prefer an anthracite/gun metal grey finish

I won't lie, it's not the best! Fitter said he had to stretch it to get the clips in, and the tension in it was making the ping back out

It's securely on and won't shift! Just a bit fiddly to get right. I'm probably not the only member to say this.

Thanks. Has anyone else experienced similar fitting issues with the AA Motors one too, or does this one generally fit much better?

I think it looks good, but I think all black splitter makes it lok not that well balanced. If it was me then I'd leave the splitter itself but paint the upper parts that fit over the original M Sport bumper

I had considered that, might be a real pain to get off now though ...I wonder if I could mask off the necessary bits and try plasti-dipping it!!
