The TRC one is much nicer IMO

I agree, bought one as soon as my order was confirmed, just waiting for a half decent day to fit it.

How are you fitting it? Lots of people say to rivet it on, but if you have the patience and nimble enough fingers you can use the bolts provided without taking the bumper off! It’ll look amazing on your Edition 🤙

It'll be a nut and bolt fit, but might do it the same time I fit a big intercooler and other things while the bumper is off. Only want the bumper off once if I can get away with it.

I've just ordered this from Parts Plus, so hopefully it will be the right thing when it arrives.

Does anyone know if it is above curb height, otherwise I will be clouting it whenever I park front in?👍🏻

Depends where you park, some kerbs are shallow, some are mahoosive 🤷‍♂️

I will proceed with caution until I am confident it misses👍🏻

What use are they?

Aesthetically pleasing, bit like when you decide which clothes to wear each day. They all cover you up, but some look nicer than others.

So not use, the false eyelashes of the car world.
Some people like them, I prefer a natural look.

you knew it served no purpose other than looks, so why ask, you and Kieth are always the same when any modification is done by someone, to their car with their money.

Actually I didn't realise that at all when I asked the question. 😇

I guess I should have googled rather than triggering some people on here. They do work...

What is a Car Splitter and How Does it Work

Splitters don’t have to be exclusively reserved for racers. Everyday car owners can have them installed too. Maybe you want to improve your car’s performance and upgrade your ride, or perhaps you want to make your vehicle more aesthetically pleasing. Either way, installing a splitter is what you...

So we've had an optional orange colour and an optional "false eyelash" splitter... we only need the 'trout pout grille' and we'll have gone full TOWIE 🤣


Edited - For conspicuous clarity and for the benefit of anyone upset by a differing opinion... that wasn't a critique, that was a joke 👍

Don't know who Kieth is but I too resemble that remark.

People can do what the hell they like with their cars and their money.

And by the exact same measure of freedom of choice... other people can say what they like about whether they like it or not.

That's called fairness and even handedness... person A can do what they like, person B can think and say what they like.

Person B has no right to tell person A what to do with their money, and person B has no right to tell person A what to say and think.

Fair non?

Drop the handbags, please.

The splitters in question are not designed in wind tunnels for downforce, they are just aesthetics. A bit like the entire body kit that an ST has over a base model Fiesta, purely for looks.

And here's me thinking people were having a laugh to lighten the tone of the discussion. Maybe I was wrong. 🤔

Aw, you've just ruined my day...

Not sure I agree, when I am doing 200mph in my ST3 I want some help with extra downforce...🤔

 

[KevC]

The more I look the more confused I get. It's hard to find a high-res photo of the mk8.5 bumper but it might not actually mold around the splitter and the splitter just tapers off.

If anyone here has it fitted to their mk8 could you post a close up photo of how it sits against the bumper on the sides?
