A fella on Facebook has managed to get the front splitter from the facelift and it fits the Mk8. No part number yet though.

Oh I like this more than I thought I would. When do the MK8.5s start delivering?

 

[Jason70]

It isn't quite a direct fit, the central 2 fixings fit ok, but they had to use some tape and self tappers around the edges.

Idk, looks ugly to me. Not interested in chopping people's ankles off just yet.

I don't dislike it but It suits the facelift front better to my eyes, I prefer the offerings from the aftermarket sector.

But good work to who ever got hold one and fitted it.

It is bigger than i thought and sticks out quite a bit, but i reckon painted Gloss Black it would look really good on an Edition.

Tape?

...well that's reassuringly secure for a fast car with stiffened suspension then 😄

Hi @marketh, I have been told like many others that my st3 8.5 will arrive at the dealership on 19/02/22, but I think it is more realistic for an April/ May 2022 delivery cheers👍🏻

I was very excited when I read that it fits a mk8 but then I saw the pictures. It just stops abruptly on the side of the bumper where on the mk8.5 the bumper would wrap around it.

I have just looked at some photos of the facelift and it definitely looks better on that, i was thinking about getting one but not so sure now.

The TRC one is much nicer IMO

 

[Jason70]

Looks good on the Performance Edition.

From that pic, the appearance at the end looks very similar to how it looks on the facelift

That is what i thought as well.

 

[BloodMage87]

i think the ford budge placement on the mk8 is much better from the mk8.5

 

[Gedi]

what's the RRP on one of the spliiters? are they any pre drilled holes on the Mk8 or does drilling need to be involved? does look better on the Mk8 than the Mk8.5

What use are they?

Like the Ford Performance number plate holders, it adds another 20bph 👍

And me. In fact i think it looks very nice and im liking the Ford Performance branding, would go very nice on an orange or blue edition.
