    Does a JMS splitter "bottom out"?

    Looks awfully low in pictures. I've got my front rubber lip grazing humps when I come down from a multi-storey so wondering if the same will happen with the JMS on a lowered (40mm) car.

    if you scrape the rubber lip you havent got a chance of even getting in a multistorey without scraping or damaging the splitter.
    Remember rubber flexs to an extent, the plastic of the splitter will just crack.

    Thats the reason I havent got a lower splitter on my bumper, because when driving about on the roads round here Id be too worried about ripping it off because the roads are sheeite.

    its your choice in the end, but it will be very very low.

    Adrian - I thought the singapore Astra GSi just had the normal type bumpers - have you fitted European GSi ones?

    Thats precisely why i have a big (but rubber/soft) splitter on mine- so it bends and doesnt break/crack or break bumper mounts.

    HOMO, I don't know really? Is there a difference?



    The white one's mine and the yellow one's a friend's. The splitter comes as standard.

    nope, they look just like the euro ones.

    hmm - im sure i saw a far-eastern website, where the mk3 astra is still the latest model and the 'gsi' is just a 2.0 5 door
