In debate as to which front splitter to go for, vote in the poll :)

I have LCR also. Looks great. I'd recommend that or the BlueMotion.

The BlueMotion would have been my first choice had I not bought the car with the LCR already fitted. It's really grown on me though.

Tim how is yours fitted do you know?? is it just self tapping screws?? IIRC the bluemotion splitter is around £150 or so primed, so paint on top of that as well...

Yeh tap in screws mate.

I guessed the BM splitter would be a tad pricey.

That's the good thing about the LCR, it's ready to go with no paint.

Plus with the BM it means you have to be ultra careful with it being the lowest point of the car, as paint isn't as forgiving as plastic!!

I don't know off the top of my head, but I can check.

Falling off won't be a problem, just ensure that you've used a fair few on yours!

I've only had one issue with my splitter catching (which was only minor), and the terrain was horrendous

I've got the LCR splitter on mine, 8 self tapping screws holding it on. Needs bending round the bumper as it's a bit too wide and a couple of inches need cutting off the ends. Looks pretty good but was a bit of a job getting it lined up correctly, although it's pretty cheap to do so can't complain really!

I also considered the bluemotion splitter in satin black before doing mine but as you say, the price kind of put me off.
