[nova_pipi]

Offer it up, drill and screw. Simples. Rocket science, it is not.

Might find it easier to take the bumper off....i did anyway.

when fitting dont sit it back against the lip on the gsi bumper as it will sit too far back.

Cut the splitter in half. With the bumper off, turnn it upside down & lay the splitter on from the fr corner of the bumper & decide how far forward it will sit & how far out to the side. tape it in place or get a 3rd hand to hold it. Use self tappers or drill & use small bolts. Work away from the corner with the fasteners until you get to the centre of the front of the bumper, where you once again need to cut cleanly with a fresh stanley blade (ask a guardian 1st) down the splitter. It will now be complete on one side to the middle.

Repeat on the other side, paying attention to keep it symmetrical & obviously you want one neat/matching slice where you part off the splitter & make it meet the end of the 1st side you fitted.

Lastly turn your attention the the trailing edge that is probably going to foul on the tyre tread. Imagine the line down the back of the bumper continues & cut the splitter off so it continues like the bumper.
Measure twice - cut once etc. Good luck.

noooooo dont cut it in half!! work out the center point of it and screw it in when you get to the corners cut slits in the splitter to help it curve so it dont look twisted and goes on easier

Why cut it in half? I never bothered and it looked fine. Cut some small V's where it needs to bend, this will help it flex round the corners of the bumper.

[craig green]

It's far too wide for a Nova, that's why I would cut it in the centre.

As pete say cut some small v's into it so it bends easier. I had though the espace one on mine which was a tad deeper. I just put some self tappers into the ends to get it tighter.

^That looks more like a Ford Mondeo front bumper trim.
