    Nightmare splitter

    That splitter has taken me all weekend to "fit" and its still not stuck properly...

    From a distance it doesnt look too bad, but up close it just looks properly bodged
    Think I might get my abarth skirts fitted properly and not bother doing it myself lol
    Heres a few pics of my not too enjoyable experience...
    Apologies but I took them on my phone

    First pic shows the gap that has appeared this morning, i'll have to squirt a s**t load more tigerseal into that next weekend and clamp it down overnight

    You need to stick some self tappers in it some where to hold it in a bit.

    Or get some tape around the joint then wedge it in like you have.

    You will be fine with abarth skirts though, they are pretty easy.

    Thats the problem, its not cut in half so its slightly too wide for the punto.
    Which means that it has to be forced to fit the profile of the bumper and is why its difficult to get it to stick properly, As far as i'm aware, nobody else has cut a bit out of the middle?

    maybe i'm just born crap at this kind of thing lol

    And use of the ramps?
    Thought thats how they are meant to be used?
    Didnt have enough ride height to get onto the ramps so they became makeshift chocks
