View Full Version : Show me your splitter
In various incarnations, my Nova has had 3 different splitters.
Firstly there was the renault laguna splitter.

I didn't mind this, but I wasn't keen on the little vents either side. I then saw the Seat splitter on a smoothed bumper and really wanted the same on my car:

Now that I want to drive the car with more aggresion, this splitter isn't really suitable for that as it catches on the smallest of speedbumps, so I replaced it for an Astra splitter:

Or do I ditch splitters in general?

If anyone else has a different splitter to any of the ones posted above, please upload a pic of it and let me know what it is and where you got it from.
Thanks.

Astra splitter is by far the best one out the bunch!
the astra splitter is different, never seen one of those on a nova before,
i had a seat splitter on my old nova ignore the dodgey bumper lol

this seat splitter was from a ibiza i think, never had the cut outs in it like your old one which i think came from a toldeo ( spelling)
Odd thing is, the Seat splitter only had two cutouts on the right hand side, lol. The rest of it was full like yours.
The Astra one might grow on me some more if I give it a lick of paint.
tbh now jim, i've grown out of the splitter look, i put my old seat splitter on my new nova and it just didn't look right.....
I think the Astra splitter would look good painted, although I quite like them the other way up, so the edges hang down lower than the centre.

jim, seat splitter realy suits the smooth bumper and side skirts.
looks good without aswel.
i agree with RJ astra splitter other way round with a lick of paint
i had the same one as mike, from a ibiza cupra.
how about a astra mk3 gsi splitter?
Im going for a mk3 golf GL splitter, first saw one on EMIN's purple spider, only badly photoshop on mine atm, i'll try and find the other one.

I might look into flipping the Astra splitter, not sure how much room there is to secure it to the bumper. I might just ditch splitters all together, less chance of it catching on a speedbump.
If I can find something that's really subtle I might stick that on. I'm thinking along the lines of a Renault Clio splitter. Will look into it.
i think it needs something as the sideskirts and rear hang lower than the front
how about the splitter from a corsa gsi? it's a popular one here in the netherlands, easy to fit, and looks good.
laguna one without vents in, nice and small but noticable
i agree with RJ about it being upside down, however though i have the ibiza splitter on mine and im happy enough with it. however i know have a cut out in the bumper thats filled with mesh or im thinking of getting a new alu radiator an a new lookin oil cooler to put it the gap to go with my xe

Heres ENEM's (http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=43586&page=3)
iirc it the 97-99 ibiza that had all the holes cut out as standard, or at least when i ordered that one all the gaps were cut out mine
