Would a splitter for a facelift bumper fit a pre-facelift bumper?

I have seen a pic somewhere on here of a classic with a pre-facelift bumper and a P1 splitter but cant find it to message the owner

I am not looking to fit a P1 splitter but have found another for the facelift bumper I quite like

If it wont fit directly, how much work would it take to get it to fit?

I think HTautos do a P1 splitter for the PRE facelift bumper :)

cheers mate but as said, I dont want a P1 splitter

I have one in mind I just need to know how hard it is to get facelift splitters to fit pre-facelift bumpers if they do not fit directly

Is it mine?? :norty:

Mine is specifically designed for the pre-facelift bumper as the facelift one is different! I'm sure with a bit of time and patience you can modify a facelift one to fit a pre-facelift. What splitter have you got in mind?? :wonder:

Ah now that would be telling :nono: :D :thumb:

Is there anyone out there who has actually modified a facelift splitter to fit a pre-facelift bumper? I would hate to go buy this splitter only for it to be ballsed up and effectively wasting money

The reason I am so desperate to find this out is because there is not a version of this splitter is not made for the pre-facelift bumper and I really want it

That will be this,
P1 Style Front Lip Spoiler (http://www.drmotorsport.co.uk/Spoiler%20P1%20Style%20Early.htm)

and this,
P1 Style Front Lip Spoiler (http://www.drmotorsport.co.uk/Spoiler%20P1%20Style%20Late.htm)

Similar splitters for early and later bumpers, but I'm pretty sure they are not interchangable.
Give them a call and ask the experts.

I didn't pay anywhere near that much or buy it from there :norty:

They are different but I'm sure any bodyshop or competent person can modify a facelift splitter to fit a pre-facelift bumper. HT autos might be able to help you as they sell a p1 splitter for the pre-facelift that was originally modified from a facelift one!! :freak3: Post some pics if you manage to get it done!

different shapes the pre-facelift bumpers. Fitted a genuine sti one to my girlfriend's 95 wrx and it looks great :thumb:

A bugger to fit otherwise if you try and do facelift splitter to pre-facelift bumper, unless you like doing major tweaks :)

as you know chris I had the 3 piece STi splitter on the car before the accident just fancied something different splitter wise this time round

looks like I may have to change the plans and go for a facelift bumper but everyone does that and everyone does the P1 splitter thing, I want to be different

am gutted there is no way to see how much work there would be without splashing out on the splitter I want, cant really afford to do that and for it not work or for the modding of the splitter to be ballsed up

dunno what to do now :confused:

why dont you have a word with HT Auto's and see what they recommend.
Only issue as far as I see, there are few and far between choices for splitters on pre-facelift models. and the reason why? because the rest look **** :)

99-00 P1 lip is a now where near fit to the early bumper.
Early bumper is much rounder on the corners, so you will have about a 2" gap.
It can be done ,cos thats how we made our early lip, but is a lot of work and lip will have to be cut in about 10 pieces.

Good luck!

BTW. Version 8 V-LTD lips to fit Classics may be next on our agenda, as far as i know this has not been done yet.

:( Oh well

Thanks Mark, you have a PM by the way ;)
