Title: Front splitter colour coding
Post by: markos on June 01, 2015, 11:40:47 pm
hi, i'm after a bit of advice from anyone that's colour coded or ever removed their front splitter.

just need to know the best way to remove it, whether it's best to take off the whole bumper or if you can remove the splitter on it's own.

i'm colour coding the larger part and leaving the centre part black and it will need to be off the car for at least a week... anyone know if that will be ok to drive without it? just worried about crap flying up from the road or if there's anything else under the splitter which deflects road crap

thanks in advance

Take the bumper off to remove it as the clips that hold the splitter on should be pressed out from behind the bumper.

It will be fine to drive without it for a week or so.
