DIY alternative front splitters.

[A1EK]

I made a simple lip spoiler from polypropylene to stop it catching on low curbs and for looks ! I then added a rubber trim to finish the look and had it on my car for about 5 years, but the splitter was completely ripped off when we had some flooding back in winter and got washed away sadly.

I recently found some off cuts of the plastic sheet I used left over in my garage, but as they were not the full length could not do the same lip spoiler again sadly, so instead opted for a corner style splitter. My first pieces looked too wide I thought, so took them off and shortened them.

Can I ask what your thoughts are?

First images is the first spoiler I made that got rippe off, then the wider splitters and finaly after a cut them down.

I'll be honest and say I'm not sold on the newer ones. The first one you made was a very good job. Kudos to you for having a go and if you are happy that's all that counts.

Thanks for the feedback, I am also undecided, I tried to follow the angle lines of the front bumper to make it appear in keeping with the cars lines, but not sure. Maybe adding the rubber trim will help?

I really like the last 2 pics. Think they look much better than the small ones.

Great job.

Agree the last revised version is the better one, and with the rubber trim I think it'll finish it off nicely.
Very nice neat job you have done I like it.
Cheers

Looks good to me, very well done for a DIY job, I had to pay a garage to install mine.
I like the end result, the jutting lower lip ;p

Thanks all for the very fair feedback. I agree that the original one I made was nice and understated and that the two seperate ones have a risk of being too cheap and nasty looking, but they were all the material I had left .
Personally I like the sharp angles on the last pics and being shorter and agree that if I put some rubber trim on them, they may look more professional and bought !

I'm not gone on it but it's still a credit to you.
