Was hoping this new front splitter would come with installation instructions and hardware, lol. I will have to figure it out and then paint. Might need another weekend to complete.

what’s your question? I’m guessing the sides have tabs that slide into the spot the old one did? Does it reuse the pull pins? Take a pic underneath and before you installed the splitter. There is only maybe two possibilities on this install… looks great tho

there are only two possible tabs, one on each side of the center opening. But they do not line up with anything. There are no other tabs. I think I can like up an indent under the splitter close to the wheels. So both sides should be able to screw upwards where there is a u nut on each side. The two tabs on the splitter that are close to the middle do not line up with anything, so will drill a hole in undercover and insert expandable nuts. That should hold the center. I still need to find two more spots so there are 3 mounts on each side. not many choices, Only possible spots would be between the two blue tapes in the picture. About 10 inches from wheel well. I will take a picture and post it.

okay so there are 3 push pins that hold up plastic under shields on each side. I would find some plastic maybe 3-5mm think and cut them to go from the bottom of the sides to the push pull pins…make sense?? Then maybe add a couple/few of the well-nuts expanders… maybe a strip of double faces tape??
See pic below:
I don’t know how much material yours have so it’s hard to know

totally different than mine, I wish I had this setup, lol

corner has a screw above it and you can see middle corner has no tab, have to figure this out.

This is the only small tab I can screw into the front. You can see they don't line up to original mount

I am trying to figure out a good way to mount it. seems to fit nice but you don't get mounts or instructions. Once I complete it, I will show how I did it.

The good thing is I can always add mounts with fiberglass, I want to take my time and make sure I can hang off it once done.

Replaced front pads, sensors, hardware kit, and vibration shims on my ‘05 BS. Nice high hard pedal.

Very even pad wear side to side and inside vs outside.

Also replaced a tired rear trunk lid strut. I use it almost every time I drive the car, probably 70 or 80k miles on that little device.

Shed about 40 lbs from between the front strut towers in the R. Surprised how such phenomenal steering can be further improved

I love how easy brake swaps are on these cars. Enjoy!
