Very nice indeed mate, they really suit the car, are they 18's?

Is that a front splitter (off eBay) under your front valance?

They are 18's the splitter is the same as the ones they sell on ebay for £40 + £10 postage... But i got mine from a Seat dealer for £21

I think because they are split dish they look a bit smaller, is that what you think too? Looks like the spokes should radiate further to the rim.

Oh love the 'S'badge too, I know another Avant not far from me with one on (but on other side) ;)

Looks really nice, im a big fan of BBS LMs.

Ive got the same splitter on mine aswell, got it from Seat too.

Nearly lost my splitter on a curb the other day but they look really good.

Yup, they almost look like 17's at first glance, it's quite a deep rim.

I'm not keen on labeling a car an "S4" when its not one, but just the S on it's own is more subtle, I kinda like it!

PS: Is the splitter hard to fit? Do either of you guys have a part number please?

[kaab0]

Yeh the front splitter info would be appreciated for me too, Nice understated additional touch!!!!

[DBSK]

Dont know the part number off of the top of my head but its a Leon Cupra R 2004 splitter. It costs £21.50.

As for fitting, what i did was cut off all of the brackets used to fit it to the LCR, then drill some holes in the splitter and then fixed with some self tappers. I also trimmed about 2cm off each end.

It took me about 1 and a half - 2 hours but it would have been alot easier with a second pair of hands.

My mates got the same splitter on his Mondeo ST200 aswell.

wheels look great ,info on splitter would be good .

Hi guys here is the part number for the lip

1ML 805 903 :beerchug:

Meant to say Redducatti that the wheels look good but I know how you are feeling about uncertainty as I had BBS wheels on my Golf GTI a few years back in 17" and the looked small due to the detail in the wheel. Only lasted a couple of months before I upgraded to 18" and it made a big difference.

[redducati]

I may drop it 20mm and fit some 10mm spacers to the rears as they seem to sit further in the arch than the fronts

Hi. :Blush:

How did everyone fit the splitter on to the bumper?? Was it a DIY job or did you pay somene professional to fit it??

I've just recently bought the splitter, but too scared to fit it myself as I might mess it up. I want to get it fitted properly.

Is anyone kind enough to help me out please?? :confused:

I had to buy a new one and refit it in the week as i hit a badger and it took the splitter with it :aargh4:.

I just cut all the brackets off, drilled some holes, then just make sure its in the middle and just screw it into the bumper. Its a simple job just quite fiddly getting it in the right position.
