Got the idea from 'stormi'. Check the thread 'kustom honeycomb grille'. Made them myself same way he made his. Much easier than I thought it would be.
 
Yeah, its a leon splitter. Thank god theyre fairly cheap. Bad roads here, its my 3rd in 2yrs.
 
None at all, just the cutting out. If you want a detailed 'do and dont' I can post it here for you, tho i have no photos of doing it, you could look at his photos.Their is more to it than the stormi thread as I think he said it was his father in law that did it. Dont be nervous to try it. Dont even bother getting used parts if theyre hard to get where you live. I bought a new fiat bumper grille for €14 and 2 new seat bumper grilles to cut for €20 each. Most expensive was main grille for €30+€12postage from germany. Tho im sure you could get much cheaper in the UK.
 
Splitter had to have no alterations other than a half inch snip on inside to stretch to screw in. And plastic clips trimmed of with a stanley knife. If you want it to sit back any then an inch or so at each end.
 
Yeah, they are 20mm spacers on all 4. Makes the wheels flush with the arches which I prefared. Had on for rwo years and no extra wear on tyres or suspension. Pleased with them.
 
Like you were saying on your thread, ive got lowered springs only front and rear too. Standard shocks .springs lowered 30mm front, 40mm rear.
 
That's perfect to me ! little bit lowered , 20mm spacers on all4 and front lip on bumper. where did you get this? I have spacers also 16mm front and 20mm rear
 
Got from ebay. Its a seat leon mk1 bumper splitter. Company in germany best price for me due to postage to ireland. Go 2 ebay check as above.
auto_service_technik was the company. Also check your local seat dealer first. Maybe cheaper if postage high.
 
Thanks m8. The abarth side decals is the idea of what I think fiat would have made an '08 abarth bravo like. Lowered, wider wheels, honeycombed grilles, and remapped to 185hp which ive done. I like the idea of the golf gti/audi front with black bumper/black grilles, but I dont think fiat would have done this on a 08 bravo. Maybe on the updated '10 model.
