espace splitter on my zs180

andymgzs180 · 04-07-12, 05:47 PM

got my hands on a renault espace splitter and thought i'd put it on the mg. was harder to do than i thought as the mk2 bumper has a large lip that dips in so after a little modification, a little blood and a hell of a lot of swearing here is the end result!

not quite sure what to make of it yet, but hoping it'll grow on me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm ... Not sure. Difficult from the photos though.

I think the fact that the Mk2 has kinda got a splitter already, with the lower part of the bumper being shaped and coming out - it maybe doesn't look so good as I think it does on the Mk1 .....

Certainly something I'm doing to mine though.

To hell with that on my car it would last all of five minutes before it got ripped off.I like the look though.

im of the same opinion mate,think the cupra splitter suits the mk2 front ends better,think the laguna/espace one suits the mk1 front one,i will be looking for one if you decide its not right mate

Lol mines grinds out in certain petrol stations where I stay as they have a ramp on the entrance and exit.

i'm thinking i might take off tomorrow and try it on the wifes zr, keep looking at it on the drive and i'm so undicided i just cant make my mind up if i like it or not!

I'll be honest, im not a fan. And the gap doesn't seem quite right betwen the bottom of your lights and the bumper. Did you have to leave a gap for the DRL's?
Rest of the car is spot on with the black wheels and red touches

Heres my mk1 with the Cupra splitter...

Fair play for having a go, as others have said though, it doesnt seem to "flow" unlike this post which is turning into a bit of a rhyme, yo.

Personally I think the cupra one suits the mk2 better, however that is just my opinion so stick with it. The pictures don't do it justice, some from ground level may work better.
