August 14, 200816 yr Laguna splitter vented, few quid from the scrappy, easy fit dont paint just clean & back to black.
August 15, 200816 yr All you need to remove one is a flat blade screwdriver as theyre only stapled on.

August 28, 200816 yr I took up your advice and have been looking for one for a while, but every scrappy that has the old lagunas have already had the splitters nicked.. i understand the mk4 astra one will work, and a few Seat's.. can anyone gimme a list of cars they know the splitters will fit the mk6 escort? then i can go roam about and know what im looking for thanks in advance

August 28, 200816 yr As said, they will fit but here is my opinion: EVO do a cossie bib which I use to have, direct fit and looks the nuts but cost approx £100 + painting Cupra R is only £21 new, BUT will need alot of work to make it fit right, including cutting bits off and smoothing over/repainting and is also a pain to secure on. Astra looks nice if you dont mind the gap in the middle. A bumper trim from a mk3 fiesta IIRC has been taken in the past to fit straight onto the bumper to form a splitter. Laguna or espace are the best, on ebay sometimes go for as high as £30-40 but you can someytimes find a bargain and they fit straight on with self tapper and don't need painting

August 28, 200816 yr aye, i look the look of the cupra splitter, and for 20 quid new it aint bad, but i cant be arsed with having to go too much effort to make it fit. probs go to the scrappy and see what they have. i noticed last time someone had already taken all the laguna splitters, but there was a megane one (R reg i think), reckon that'd fit? i have the fogged bumper too, and i do think it looks good on yours, so if i cant find anything local on the weekend, i know of a couple vauxhall breakers near leeds, i'm sure they'll have one thanks for the advice lads.
August 28, 200816 yr Laguna splitter vented, few quid from the scrappy, easy fit dont paint just clean & back to black.perfect advise.. i got mine,non vented tho,for a fiver from the scrappy, it was uncut aswell so was a bargain.
August 28, 200816 yr Mine was £15, but I bought mine from an Evo'er, apparently you can get them cheaper than that from the scrap yard
August 28, 200816 yr 2.9 24v Granada Scorpio Cosworth splitter. Looks great on a fogged bumper imo, its what I had on my old escort. Fits on with ease too http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y12/biggup1234/DSC01226-1.jpg Edited August 28, 200816 yr by Escort_Kid
