I've got a seat GTE one on mine - I just cut large arcs out the corners (top and bottom) then v's either side. Its belt round no probs.

You could try a laguna one (old style) but they went up in price last year (?40 or summut daft)

We dont have that many soeed bumps up here - just loads of road works and multi storey car parks with 45' angled ramps

I'm considering removing my splitter - just to save the impact on my bumper.

he's not going to like you posting un-necessary posts like that either :roll: :wink: :P

Anyway...I spent a good few hours with a friend fitting my Seat splitter onto the bottom of my Gsi Front bumper. I used a similar process to Ade (I didn't cut quite such large chunks out though). It helps if you have an extra set of hands to bend the splitter round the corners, and then you can screw the splitter in place whilst the other person holds it in position. I actually used Nuts and bolts to secure the splitter to the bumper and we manage to get it to fit about as well as is possible In my opinion.

also... if youre having probs bending it, try "warming" it with a heat gun. Dont leave it on too long though coz it will melt and curl the edges!
