New Carbon Splitters

[shimmy]

Can't say fairer than that :thumbs:

The I was gonna sell mine before I fitted them. Glad I didn't now as I would be embarrassed.

I think you should try to fit them first and see, easy job and you'll soon know if they are good fit or not.

You really need to proof read your text before posting Shim... :bigcry: :hahaha:

I have not had dealings with CA so I really can't comment on how good they are - I am sure they know their stuff well. I am merely basing my comments on photos of the product you've posted up.

Best way is to perhaps try them on a factory bumper and see if they fit??

These might be a completely different design to the ones I posted up which clearly don't fit (and I know quite a few people who have mistakenly purchased thinking it will)

I do make one point though:

Which these obviously aren't:

1. The return radius on the inside of the splitter is different to the OEM version.

2. The height of the splitter looked taller in the photos.

3. The weave angle is different

4. A step in the top of the splitter where it slots into the bumper differ to the OEM version.

Hardly a faithful replica in my opinion.


p.s. I am not here to argument or to call anyone a lier - just wanting you to make sure that these do in fact fit the factory bumper like CA claims.

FYI - even the Vorsteiner splitters don't fit the OEM CSL bumpers and these are suppose to be a pretty faithful replica of the genuine item (I know, because I have one those bumpers sitting in my 'spares' room)

Spot On Tom :thumbs:

Just looking at those pics Tom, Tom does have a fair point by the looks of it....as the old song goes
"The shapes all wrong, its much too long, and you cant have a hole where a hole dont belong " :hahaha:

I can understand the comments, just wanted justification around the product.

I'm not selling these to rip someone off cause that's not me, thats why I stated they can be returned for a full refund.

So to clear things up I am going to keep them wrapped in cling film or something so I can put them on to see fitment just to make some people feel better before the purchase..... obviously if they are sh1te then I will be calling CA Automotive.

Can someone explain to me how to remove existing flippers please? I presume its careful take the plugs out underneath and they just slide off or..... I will take some OEM Pics and Replica pics so you can see for your self.

take no notice of this lot. Everything is often said in jest!

I would also like to see them fit. And why have CA made reps in non original 2x2 twill if trying to make as close to OEM as poss!? Confuses me, I am yet to find a good front spliter rep.

Just poke centre plug all way through of rivet.

Taking out the centre piece of the plug underneath is a bit difficult but as soon as this is out, you can pull the rest of the plug easy and then slide off the splitter.

Splitter is pretty strong but the plug can be a pain, best to get the car up on a jack as much as possible:thumbs:
