Same splitter as Simon_2.0t, saw his and bit the bullet as well. I'll post a link if I find one. Can't find the link :sad1: was around £110 earlier this year I believe. Maybe a limited run as I can't see anymore when i put a search in.
Be aware if you come across one it will need re-priming, the primer came away really easy from the splitter when I got it.

No screws fortunately but an annoying occasional rattle, sounds like a bit of trim. will investigate. With all the how to's on this including APR's most people who can use tools should be capable of doing it. If your methodical and make note of where fasteners have come from it's not as difficult as it looks. If you did it on your own you are a hero though :notworthy:

anyone can use tools in my mind, just laziness from people if im honest lol. at the end of the day we've all got Haynes manuals, this forum and other threads on-line to carry any job out at home :innocent: Except electrical's, for me anyway, her dad does those or the garage haha... touch wood had no electrical issues with the car
I didn't fit the cooler on my own her dad helped me with it. I will be remove the front bumper tonight anyway to fit the xenons so hopefully ill see 4 threads that need a damn good screwing :signLOL:

Had a young fella lightly rear end the car. We sorted it out and he wasn't too keen on involving the insurance. The damage was only light scuffing but i wanted it all as it was before. I also had some additional work done while it was it, my rear end is a beaut now :smiley: Couple of shots of the work as it was in progress.
Service due then Milltek and HPFP on then off for remap.
New Helix clutch off Alex as well so should be good for the extra power.

Milltek on. Non res' Edition version with shallow back box. Sounds fantastic :happy2: Not the best decision I ever made was fitting on axle stands, complete PITA. Main issue being the downpipe needs a reasonably steep angle to be taken off and the new one put in. Did it to save fitting costs which it did but the air was blue during the install :grin:
Used high temp silicon for the the exhaust joints and its worked a treat.
New clutch and also DMF flywheel bought through the group buy. Booked in to have fitted with AKS shortly.
Will need to book it in for a remap once the clutch and Autotech pump are fitted. Still undecided where to go at present.
Also got hold of some new coil pack connectors as these do tend to get damaged over the cars life with the clips getting broken. These will get installed when the new R8 coil packs turn up from the group buy. Just need to get the pin extraction tool as well.
Just had her serviced as well and also had the fuel filter changed for good measure.
Picture of her cleaned up
