Hi, my Nova is a 1992 (k reg) lowered by 60mm and has standard bumpers, and i was wondering what's the best front splitter to put on, i want it to look good, but also be practical, anyone got any ideas?
Cheers Jono.

don't get a seat one iff its lowered 60mm, because mines lowered 60mm and its very low doubt i can get it out the drive way with the splitter on lol :lol:

i have a laguna splitter that i'd be willing to part with for the priecly sum of ?10

fitted my standard bumper, perfectly, already cut to size e.t.c and bent in the right shape. Just self-tapper it on.

now i have a GSi front, it's not long enough (as the gsi bumper steps out at the bottom)

what ever you do dont paint it tho....

i painted my first nova's luguna splitter and even with flexi adative in the paint( i used to work in a paint shop) it cracked and pell apart and scratched because it hit the floor all the time over speed bumps and even going up and down a curb! as for multi story carparks... forget it! that was really low tho.....

a standard luguna splitter works well with a mk2 front just have to chop a little bit out the middle so its not hanging over the end of your bumper!

I will go with a Laguna one, and leave it the standard black to match my bumpers, btw are the Laguna one's 2 piece or 1?
Cheers Jono.

I think the Laguna splitters are held on by clips and screws.

i'l send you it for ?10 + P&P after christmas (when i've got another one)

it's already been trimmed at the ends to fit the standard MK2 bumper.

Look on my car pics for a piccy of it !

it's got scuffs on it, but it does come in contact with the ground alot lol.

back 2 black ti before it goes on, and it looks the part.

self tapper it on. all the holes are already there, just make sure you put plenty in, to make it keep it's shape.

Dont be a twat and go knicking one of a laguna. How would you like it if someone ripped something of your car?

If your that desperate, go to the scrapyard, otherwise dont be a cheap git and get one from renault.

i think it looked just as good (not better) in the first place !.. (apart from the engine of course)

bet it cost a hell of a lot less in the first place too !
