Default Front Splitter

Had my yearly service done by the MG wizard who is “Arctic” , and while it was there, he fitted the front splitter for me. I think it looks great and is just enough, but what makes this different to the Seat ones is that its rubber, so if I go over a low kerb it will just bend out of the way and not split / crack or pull my bumper off. But the best thing is that it only cost £7.50 off ebay, it is stick on but Arctic being Arctic used an extra 21 screws to secure it to the bottom of the bumper for life (Cheers Steve as always going above and beyond to help club members)

Hi Jon.
Mine is on its way & I have found another 21 small black self tapping screws so I will be following your idea Arctic

That looks very good . I have been toying with the idea of a Seat one for a while as the front end of the ZTT seems to be “missing it” - but even without it I have to be careful when parking - so lowering it more was not sensible

But a flexible rubber one at a fraction of the price seems to be the way to go.

Here is the eBay link that I used

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-5M-Car-...ea13%7Ciid%3A1

2.5m is just enough for the front bumper so you only need to order 1 strip

I fitted the same thing to my ZS.
Not much money and looks great, like as already been said, if you catch a high curb you get a warning just before you damage the bumper!

I have added one to my 75 as well. It looks good and on the couple of times i've touched a gutter since it shows no signs of damage

The seat splitter does not reduce overall clearance. The height at the front of the bumper is now the same as the rear, but is still higher than the under tray.

it looks better fitted than the Seat Splitter too


I considered fitting the Seat part - opted for this Rubber type and i've been happy with it, no issues at Speed or with bad weather I've had mine on the Car for 2 years i think

I sat mine back from the Front edge tho - to the rear edge of the Bumper, in line with the fixings for the undertray - to me the facelift bumper always looked like it was missing a finisher on this underside.
