Procedure
There are two ways to secure the splitter to the front clamshell.
Glue
- Sikaflex
Bolts
Damage
Unfortunately, if not correctly fitted, the splitter can damage the front clamshell when it parts company to high speeds. Remember it needs to sustain around 40 Kg of down force.

If you want to remove the splitter you can use a sharp (Stanley) blade to cut the seal and it comes off relatively easily.
Procurement
