Two questions...

Can you fit a splitter to an abyss bumper?
Will it look any good?

The Abyss bumper is already styled to be different to the Standard Bumper. I think Splitters are better off left as an attachment to standard bumpers. If you definatley want to go for a splitter then check out the Ibiza or Laguna splitters, they seem to be the favourite amongst Nova owners.

seat for the splitter - although theres a guy who works at seat taking orders at the mo!

(see other post for that)

Seat splitters are good but deep - you need at least 3" clearence at the front otherwise any slight pot holes or dips in the road taken at speed is gonna slam into the splitter which will eather crack or it'll smash the bumper - especially if the abyss bumpers fibreglass!

GSi/SR bumpers are oulded plstic (abs) so flexible - sorst you get is cracked paint
