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:

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
