Cupra R 'Kris' Splitter fitted!

Well, I'm rubbish and had no idea how to go about doing this.

Dad came to the rescue and had it on in no time! (Note: He is class when it comes to things like this, as other have said this is an absolute c**t to put on -- trust me!)

Pleased with the result, everyone was asking for pictures because it was the first Blue one with the 'kris' splitter (Like the name? ) anyway.. below is the finished article!

Also, sometime next week I'll be gettin' her vinyled in the middle, as soon as I can find this chap who does it round my way!

Just out of curiosity, and probably stupidity, whats the red 'R' for?

Re: Cupra R 'Kris' Splitter fitted!

Yes self tappers indeed! 3 each side.. Dad sorted it all with no drama I suck at these kinda things.

And the Red R is there by law. It's been less than a year since passing my test and since I live in N.I. I have to drive around with an R plate (bit like the L plate when your learning) for a FULL YEAR!!

Not an option of taking it off as it's a £60 fine and 3 points for no display!!! madness. They look ****e dont they?

Splitter I got from fiat for £20 inc VAT

And yes dad knicked two wee triangles at either side to get it to bend round.

OMG that totally blows, did you say northern ireland? i would have thought we would have the same rules. It is kind of a good idea though. Difficult to police and not all young drivers are idiots so might not work.
sorry
