Only time I've ever seen it look OK is using a SEAT splitter. Notr sure what car it was off. I may have a pic. The fact the GTE bumper isnt flat makes it all the more tricky to make it look good.
DAR has a track inspired splitter made of wood!

hi mate and welcome, i dont have pics of a splitter but tried to fit one to mine not so long back and it just doesnt look right on a sr gte bumper mate,the splitters are more suited to a mk2 gsi as pics show.there wont be many mk1gte/sr front bumpers thats had splitters fitted to them.;).check the "features" section maybe! to be honest havent seen one fitted to a mk1 gte/sr bumper,only corner splitters:thumb:

cheers for pics and the input - quite like the splitter on the white gte with the seat cordoba splitter
the seat splitters do look good on MK1 bumpers, when you fit it tho id advise heating it slighly so it bends to the contours on the bumper
