So.... The snow season is starting and it is the first for me with the splitter.
Looks like this is going to be interesting, since it seems to be catching more snow than expected...

This is stock suspension and there wasn't particularly much snow today.

I assume it is possible, and there are 4 (2 by side) pre-drilled guide holes on the corners, but why would you do that?
The risk of it flying out at speed and the consequences would be too big.

Was just thinking what if you wanted to take it off for whatever reason and didn't want holes in the bumper.

I realised after asking that the holes probably aren't visible unless you're under the car lol

As you said, holes would not be visible and you could always put some filler and pint over them, but why? ;)

It is a plastic part - if it was metal, I would be more weary of drilling into it, one of the things that puts me off of fitting some sideskirts and some blades.

Yeah fair point. I’ve never fitted one before, nor have I looked underneath my car to see where/how it’s fitted. Would like one, one day, when I have money to spend on things I like...

Right guys I would appreciate some advice I have the facelift model 2017 cupra and wanting a front splitter but cannot make my mind up between Maxton or Reiger. Maxton does look more aggressive my Cupra is black so not sure how much of difference one would make in terms of standing out.

My CUPRA has the Reiger front splitter and it may not look aggressive as the Maxton but I like the way it finishes the front off.

The Maxton front splitter does look more aggressive but for me it has to be the Rieger one all the way. I might of had a hand in convincing @Maypack to purchase his one after he saw mine at one of the SCN car meets.
