Maxton front splitter fitted

Great quality and great fit.

Looks great!

How is your gloss black finish? Mine arrived with all the packaging intact but the lip itself badly scratched, and the finish wasn’t great on the un-scratched bits! anyway a friend is wrapping it gloss black, save returning it.

Can’t wait to get mine fitted

Instead of drilling new holes all over the place, are there any factory holes on the bottom of the bumper that you can reuse?

Please dont swear at me but you did remove the thin plastic that its coated in ? Mine looked dull and marked but peeled the plastic off it and as you can see super glossy

Ha! Well I can’t say for sure because it’s not here atm. I did have a very good look over it, as did the guy at the body shop when’re I got a quote to paint it. I think it’s just had a tough life tbh. Never mind!

I have the Maxton pieces on my g30 and there was a protective film that needed to be removed. The film made it look all banged up.

How long does it takes from point of purchase to final delivery? Maxton told me if I order now I will receive the Spoiler in 6-8weeks. WTF.
BTW it looks awesome.
I have the cerium gray grill. How it will look with gloss black?

I ordered from Maxton UK and they delivered in a couple of days so may be worth seeing if they have stock

Looks great. Installing mine tomorrow. I was just looking at mine and wondering how I’m going to get the screws imbetween the double slat. It looks like a really tight area. Did you guys do anything different. There’s nothing on UTube on how to install it. Seems like everyone has a different method.

I've had 3 different "2 level" splitters on my G06 - on every one the screws in that area go in the little vertical struts, so you don't have to worry about the reduced space in that area. They're really straightforward.

Thanks all done. Pretty happy with how it turned out. Used longer bolts.
