danposs86 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Whats the best way to cut down a laguna splitter to fit the bumper? Its too long and I dont really want any cut and shut lines. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theresa Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I think the only way, is to cut them. I cut mine in the middle and worked back, if you know what I mean, so the cut was neatly in the centre and not on the ends. Tool for cutting it............my kitchen knife I've had my kitchen knife for 14years and it was best investment I ever made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.manchester. Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 theres more risk of cocking it up that way! Have a look under your bumper first to see where to mount it, if its like mine you will have to make 3 brackets like spacers to screw into, measure the splitter and mark the middle, then get it central to the front bumper, use the ford logo as a guide as thats central mount the middle of the splitter and work your way outwards, you will find as you get around the sides the splitter will be touching the tyres so give it a rough trim and carry on mounting it once all screwed up then thrim the excess off to the shape of the bumper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theresa Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 theres more risk of cocking it up that way! Mine came out ok!!! You just see the join and it's central with the middle of the car. Haven't got the Ford logo anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4TT Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Whats the bvest way to fasten them onto the bumper???<{POST_SNAPBACK}> no need to cut the middle, just cut the ends as the escort bumper not as deep as a laguna and use self tappers about 15 , make sure they are in the corners in middle and at the ends u seen mine, and done 3, my old car the rs and big pauls, and i found out the best way is to take the bumper off loads easyer and get it to fit prefect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danposs86 Posted June 3, 2005 Author Share Posted June 3, 2005 The splitter is too long. It stickes out either side of a standard mk5b bumper. So i need to shorten it somehow. Cutting in the middle is the only option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee R Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 . Cutting in the middle is the only option.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> course it aint, fit it and trim the ends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danposs86 Posted June 3, 2005 Author Share Posted June 3, 2005 (edited) I dont get what your getting at. I know i need to chop the side bits cos it'll touch the tyres if i dont. But the piece its self is too long for the bumper. The ends will actually stick out of each side! I need to cut the green lines (cue amazingly quick Paint image ) EDIT: I am wrong!

scortpower Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 dan come look at mine all i did was cut 2 inch off either side and the screwed it on to the bumper and it looks the mutts nuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick C Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Are you sure its the Laguna Splitter? I know the Scenic I think has a splitter just like the Laguna, bit deeper and wider if I am not mistaken? Just a thought... If not just reshape the corners, they are flexible so you don't have to cut the middle mate will look miles better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
