Bourkey Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Sorry bud but that is a pretty rare item and i doubt you will persuade any owner of one to let it go. Trust me i spent 2 years trying to get one. I nearly bought a car off eBay with one on it once just so i could take the splitter off .Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nanglebadger Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 first of all, nice car! oh wait...THATS MINE!secondly, the search button will show u that this question is asked every few months and gets the exact same answers, so let me break it down for u...1. There are 2 of these in the WHOLE club2. No, neither of the two owners are prepared to "lend" their splitters for copying, it wont happen, so people should stop asking, they are rare and they will stay that way3. People should also stop asking to be top of the list if either Tony or I ever sell our splitters4. The last examples to be seen on the open market were attached to full cars for sale in northern irelandyour best bet is to go custom, something like a civic splitter, a Glanza front end conversion, an MS Designs kit or lip, or a laguna lip.simples.Phil.

starlet-barry Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 Lol ok cheers lads. Hope u dont me putin up a pic of your car mate by the way it looks the dogs nads ok my nxt question is how do I go about fitting one off a completely different car is it a difficult job I know it will have to be modded to fit. can anyone point me in the right direction for getting hold of a splitter for n/a starlets or mod tutorials for splitters frm other cars. any help would be much appretiated ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Have a look on Ebay for Civic/Laguna splitters etc, when you've got one, just trial fit it using thick masking tape to hold it onto the bumper.Then when you've lined it up how you want, screw the splitter in with self tapping screws and then saw off the end pieces at the sides of the bumper, and use sand paper to smooth off where you've cut.Simples Quote Link to post Share on other sites
addz Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I think post number 6 was a little harsh, and the issue with using your picture is a little stern. I mean come on, if there is only 2 on the club then surely he could only use yours or the other so called members. If things like posting up pictures of members cars causes dismay then don't put it up.This is a club for sharing, caring etc.. If a picture posted up of your car pisses you off then remove your pictures to prevent further usage, you are placing pictures at your own risk/discretion to share.

Jozinobi Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Here's some of my EP when it had an abs plastic civic type r style splitter (eBay special) fitted by my bodyshop.*Photos Removed*It goes quite well with the cars lines imo. It had to be cut in half and the trimmed on each end, then bent/glued to fit the bumper's contour along with some screws in various places.Success is based on the skills/capability of your bodyshop, so expect to pay circa £100+ for the full job painted and fitted minus cost of splitter.I eventually had the line in the middle smoothed so it all looked one piece.To be honest pretty much anything can be made to fit if done right.A front splitter really enhances the overall look of an EP so a good investment.Hope this helps.Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starlet-barry Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 Top man joz cheers for the info. That looks sweet along with those wings u done a real nice job there mate cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Yeah Barry, just line it up with the curves of the bumper. You may need to cut a middle section out as Joz mentioned, or maybe off the sides, depending on how it looks when you trial fit it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Amjad Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Looks like a decent alternative to a Laguna splitter, but a bit too thin for my liking.But if you like it, give it a go! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
addz Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 yea wasn't sure if that was a bollocking or not lol but cheers for the comment addzThat was totally for you mate, there was no need for that aggressive comment posted by that user. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nanglebadger Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 ok i admit, i can see how that reads a little harsh now, it was not intended as such, i had a REAL bad month last month. so ai apologise to u barry if u took it as being somewhat harsh, that was not the intention.however, seein as how two individuals fancy an argument and i'm bored right now...did i say i minded my car being used....odd...i think i didnt....carry on. but i have recently found my car being used for a number of things that I havnt been asked permission for, this example doesnt bother me, but it gets somewhat disconcerting when u find your car on other websites being used for things u were unaware of.and if u think the advice of using the search button is "harsh", try posting repetitve questions on TGTT and see the response u get there, but i get PMs all the bloody time asking about the splitter and can they be head of the first refusal list. it wears a little thin, and tbh, i have seen much harsher responses to the age old "TTE splitter" request threads even here on UKSC from other members.secondly Addz....everyone can see i posted Post 6 - why not simply adress your reply AT me then, u wana say somethin to me then say it, i dont mind. my fed up reply came from two things, i was having a BAD month last month, and secondly, u guys honestly wouldnt believe how often i get this question in a PM, it honsetly wears thin.and Gavin - good for u, u wana make some money off TTE splitter replicas, u go right ahead, i was offered it years ago by Toby and turned it down, but if u find one and wana get replicas made up for folk be my guest, it honestly wont bother me as much as u seem to imagine it will. and as for "blunt", hows about people ask u the same questions for years on end, then i'll ask u again and we'll see if u invite me out for diner and drinks or if u get pissy about it?@Barry - as i said, custom, laguna, or Glanza front end or MS Designs lip are u best options.Phil.

Nanglebadger Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 fair dues, context and feeling gets lost in text.there would be quite a market in TTE reps tbh, i'm surprised they havnt appeared before now.Joz's Civic adaptation wasn't far off! looked real well.Phil.

Galliano Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Gavin, you do realise that the want for TTE lips is because its uber rare, not because its so god damn amazingly sexy.The novelty will wear off when everyone has one, it would just be "another" lip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
