Just need to blend the middle together and find a way of filling up the gap between the top of the splitter and the bottom of the bumper (black silicon i think) as it's impossible to get it flush

just thought i'd take some pics of it whilst it's still on the car, and not attached to the road or a kirb

I do have some pics of progress as i was doing it, don't know whether an admin is interested in posting it up as a guide, as it's quite difficult to even get it looking like it is.

Overall, i'm really pleased, looks a bit odd being so low at the front only, but it looks really mean when travelling down the road ! However i think i might swap it for a laguna splitter as im not 100% sure about it.. what does everyone else think ?

looks cool mate

i had one of them on my last nova wen it was lowered 60mm scrubed well bad on speed bumps lolol

[Nick]

yep i havn't really driven my car properly, i think even gettin back out of my drive is going to be a problem...

if it turns out too bad i'l just take it off, no harm done

[Jack]

Needs a wash :lol:

Hmm.... not sure on that... I think I prefer it to the average laguna splitter, but not sure if its suits the GSi bumper...

[Nick]

yep i know what you mean, i like the kinda slot in the middle tho...... i'm in two minds about it really !

and that's not dirt, it's salt !

[burgo]

im mega offended cant you tell i dont like low cars

lmfao only joking looks good mate just need to get it smothed in

[Mike.]

have fun going over speed bumps, looks alright though

[Nick]

well i'm going to pop down to the car wash and have a quick razz into town, so i'l see how it fairs !

TBH there are no speedbumps around my area really, and the ones that are there can be avoided...

[scott.parker]

looks good nick,i like the vr6 splitter i have a few side hanging around,but never find them both at the same time to make a hole spliter :lol:

I realy wanted to get out and do some work on the car today,but it f-ing raining here.

Scott

[Rexy]

Wahhhh nooo way... when did u get a golf VR6 man?

[epo]

[nova ian]

[Nick]

cheers for the comments...

unfortunatly the car wasn't very happy at all today, sounds like it's running on 3 cylinders and reminded me of a V8, really don't know whats up with it.... maybe it doesnt like it's new splitter ?

Or it might just be asking for new plugs and leads,lol

Scott

[Nick]

maybe my mum moved it this morning so i think she probably flooded it lol

gonna take the plugs out and see how much petrol is on them :-)

[srs1]

more pics there then nick.
just need to post them on on a few more boards.
lmao

looks really good there mate.

[Nick]

what do you mean ... i see no pics ?

i have more if you want them :-D

lol went to motorworld to get another plug socket (couldn't find mine) and when coming out, the splitter was jammed in against the floor as i was waiting for a gap to pull out...

a guy in a C2 Vtr (finance lol) wound his window down and said "Ah mate, your cars got caught on something" lmao

[NOVA_JONO]

Looking good mate, may cause you a bit of trouble tho with it being so low, lol.
:wink: laguna splitter? :wink:

Jono

[Nick]

yes my good man, i will go outside and measure it now :-)

if it's below 1.4m and a combined length and girth of under 3m your in luck ! and i will post it this week !

[NOVA_JONO]

lol, cheers mate, pm me to let me know when you want payment and payment details. :)
Cheers Jono.

Nice brembo's, lol

Splitter doesnt look right, doesnt match the side/rear of the car

[benji]

i'm not too keen on that splitter, it don't follow the lines of the car, it need's to be the same width as the grill and the bumper holes

[Riggy]

me too , never been a fan of the vr6 splitter on novas

laguna ones looks so much better :lol:

[Nick]

oh well, it looks good when just looking at the front end of the car

i'l end up swapping it for a laguna one when it decides to reattach itself to a speedbump.

at least it's something different from the Speedlines,Gsi,Laguna splitter you allways see

[kevster]

:o how much was it??i want one

[ade]

v nice - I used to have a seat gti one - didnt have many probs but had to avoid multi storey car parks. Made one hell of a grinding noise!

:x

I actually took it off in the end.

[scott.parker]

Nick this is the best use of a VR6 spliter i have seen,now the pic shows how long ago this was as karls car has a 1.8,bored out to 1.9 on a single carb,and the bumpers are painted grey/silver..

Looked quite good realy karl. :wink:

Scott

[Nick]

Yep that does look cool, i've seen a GSi bigmouthed with the bottom part cutt off as well, then a VR6 splitter bonded onto the bottom.. looked really good.

Splitter was ?20 bought from a friend, they're about 60-80 new i think

I was thinking of doing that when i was fist messing with my body work,but you would need to re'enfoce it some how.

scott

[Nick]

i think even a normal VR6 splitter would suit your car though scott, because of the little flarey bits on the front of your skirts.

at the side's the splitter flares out, kicks out, a similar way to how your modded skirts do, also it'd be roughly the same height - thus looking ace ! here' s a pic of the flareyness i'm on about, and a very quick paint of your front !

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v626/j829nick/scottVr6.jpg

i hope you can see what i mean about it all matching up with the lines of your skirts and shape of the flarey bits, i think it'd look good.

[scott.parker]

lol nice pic nick,but i get you,the reason the bit was added was i had a kit on it when i first got the car,i got it added a kit,with oneoff bits,you see i didnt like most none standard skits so i dd this to them to make it follow through into the line of the bumper..

http://img116.exs.cx/img116/5411/picture2214cm.jpg

I do have a splitter i might add to it though,but im not to fused till i get my splitter that im smoothing into the bumper.

Scott

[Nick]

Gosh, your car looks soo much better now !

[dan16v]

i think big mouth bumpers look a little silly with out an i/c behind them as all you get to see other wise is the snow plough which lies beneith :lol:

this is how my gsi bumper is done
