FRONT SPLITTERS

[Gary406]

does any1 know how a renault laguna splitter is fixed on, screws or rivets ? do they pull off easy

[HimBigChief]

They are stapled onto the bottom of the Laguna bumpers, so be careful when removing them as it's easy to slice a finger open. When refitting it to the 406 though, use self tapping screws and washers to hold it in place and prevent it from being ripped off too easily.

will it be ok if i just rip the splitter from the laguna ?

do they pull off easy

[HimBigChief]

I've removed them by force using just my hands before, but I like to use a bit of leverage usually like a screwdriver.

Hope this is for scrapyard use and not a neighbour

I wonder if the neighbour would notice?
In my experience, most folks couldn't care less about their cars and wouldn't be able to tell you if they had a splitter or mot.

it really isnt off a neighbours car guys
i found one on a car that had just been delivered to a scrap yard, guy told me to come back few hours, i asked him if i could rip it off, but i thought i may have damaged it,

anyway went back and the bugger had gone typical

so ive just bought one off ebay for the sum of £25

thanks anyway for the replys

There were 3 in my local scrappy but the bloke wouldn't let me take one off claiming that someone who wants a bumper will want the whole thing. I then pointed out to him that one of the cars had a smashed up bumper but the splitter was intact, so he handed me a screwdriver and charged me a fiver

you could makie a small fortune selling all them on ebay, i really didnt think my seller was gonna accept my offer of 25 quid
hope they fit a little better than the renault scenic splitters cos that 1 is a no go for a 406, allready tried that 1

[HimBigChief]

I get them for £8 a pop from my scrappy of choice, and yes all the ones I've removed have been in the (s)crapyard and not parked up on the side of the road or someones drtive.

Scrappers trip tomorrow anyway to hunt for a new clock. Last time they had squillions of Lagunas which, suprisingly, were bereft of their splitters.

The question is how does one sneak a splitter out of the yard without the staff noticing the suspicious bulges in your trousers?
