Hiya Guys

Some of you may have seen my original thread, after much consideration I decided to take the plunge and try out a Seat Leon Cupra R splitter at the front of the Zed. I had done this before on a TT so had a little experience of this already. So as requested so good quality pictures now

The LCR splitter was purchased from a Seat main dealer, a set of self tappers , some protective paint for the tappers and that’s all you need. I used a Dermal to finish up and curve in the edges in as I felt it looked better on the sides.

Summary:

When I first did it I was "quite" happy with the results but the sides were frustrating me and only once I had remoulded it I was much happier with the result am really pleased with the look :D . My neighbour who is a VW nut thought it was an OEM part! :D

If I was to do this again as it was a bit of a prototype, I would remove the bumper and get a heat gun to mould it better around the sides am (99%) happy along with some clamps. But for a first attempt am pleased. I’m particularly happy that the lines on the front bumper meet with the lines of the splitter a luckily accident I might add

Hope you guys like it am really pleased with the result I think it add some great depth. If anyone needs any advice drop me a pm on the enhancement

It costs less than £50 quid it came in at around £45.00 so nice little "recession" mod... it will keep me happy until I get an M Bumper :evil:

Cheers Paza

Funny enough it looks more pronounced in the pictures, I have done it so the if you look down at the bumper the line neatly runs under the bumper so looks natural. The only solution would be a basic heat gun so you can manipulate the plastic to bend at your will. Not difficult to do but this was more of a test really at this stage.
 
Superb!! I'd be happy with that if I'd paid £200 but at £50 you have to be well pleased. Nice subtle, OEM look mod 8) 8)
 
Thanks guys

Hiya Tom it would be no problem at all, it’s such a versatile splitter and would look great am 100% sure, go for it! :D
 
Nice work Paza - Passes my test of looking OEM :thumbsup:

Can see you point about moulding the ends. Would be easier with the bumper off and upside down to profile it to a perfect fit, but only since you pointed it out would anyone notice.
 
Very good work Paza - a nice new 'grown-up' line to the front end :thumbsup:
 
Very nice / wonder if my wife wants a front splitter for mothers day ?! Reckon it would look good on her red se coupe 8)
 
Well guys thanks for all the positive feedback was unsure if it would be so widely accepted :D

Guiseley I think it sounds like a wonderful mother’s day present! :D .. order mine arrived next day

Hi Andy , not really spent maybe 20 mins trimming it down , another 60 mins fitting it , and another 30 mins on the sides, so maybe 2 hours in total I reckon. To be fair I did spend a lot of time flapping about so could trim another 30 mins off that easy I reckon, but if someone can help you line it up that will really help as I got the mrs to help line it up in the end. :)
