Chris Wiltshire Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Hello! I really want to fit a set of side diffusers however I'm guessing they won't look as good with the oem front bumper. I really like the V2 front bumper but I'm not sure if it will work for me as there is very little clearance going up my drive. I've heard the V2 front bumper isn't any lower than the oem. Is this correct? I've attached a photo to show what I'm dealing with..don't really want to level the he drive but will if I have too! Thanks! Quote
Chris Wiltshire Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 Thinking that the lip might catch? Quote
mouthwash Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 As long as you don't lower it it should be fine, just beware the bottom of the car will poke out a bit further when going up things like car park ramps. 1 Quote
chirag1988 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I had the side steps on mine without any changes to the front and it looked fine. I do now have a mines front lip which just makes it look that much nicer! Just want a chargespeed rear to finish the look 1 Quote
Chris Wiltshire Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 Love the chargespeed rear! Yeah speed bumps around here are like mountains. I might be able to go up the drive on a angle which much help. I've attached another pic from a different angle, looks a little worse but only scraps if I go up the drive quickly.. Quote
Payco Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 My Tarmac side steps CF wrapped are going on here for sale in a months time if you are interested. Pre drilled and only been on the car 6 months / 300 miles.. 1 Quote
Chris Wiltshire Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 Sweet, will be interested! Quote
Payco Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Watch the For Sale post in early March. Will be left with RT Performance to send them onto their new owner for me as I am having the chargespeed side skirts fitted. Quote
KyleR Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I had Tarmacs side diffusers first and it looked fine before fitting the V2 front. It may not be much if any lower, but it is longer than OEM so may scrape a bit. Quote

If that is how close you are on the OEM then you will scrape for sure. The V2 is lower, and the sidesteps will sit just as low. Here is what I deal with lol... Quote
MattHeath Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Fitted my v2 bumper yesterday, the splitter did scrape as I was coming down a drive then onto the road,going up is fine, it's the fact that the lip protrudes so it catches the tarmac, but this was a very steep drive so you will rarely come across this problem if its on OEM springs Quote
