Our paintshop!
Bit of progress today....
weve gone from this --->
to this --->
by doing this ---->
which ended up with this --->
But managed to get it all off without any paint damage.
Gota say i think the vans looking more classy already. . . . . . .
No visible holes or paint damage after removing OEM Sportline splitter (number plate holes bit different and tow eye cover is now missing)
just waiting for the WOC splitter to arrive now.
Already an improvement with front pavement clearance.

Hahah. Looks like you’re having a poo in the picture
It does look far better, I agree more class.
Don't make the mistake I did when ordering a towing eye cover. There's 2 different types, one is textured and one isn't, the part numbers are different and you need the none textured so it can be painted.

@Pauly might be able to get you one a little cheaper, but they are not expensive anyway, and I got 2, so I could get them both painted and have a spare.
Oh and anyone reading this that has a Sportline splitter, they are totally different again and sadly a part that is not available to buy separate to the splitter, hence why I also have 2 of these.

LOL, yeh, thats not me though. thats the guy that helped me take the splitter off . . . . but yes, perfect timing, think he was standing up at the time. =]
Good call
I might remove all mine because I think the next look I go for needs all the bling removing.
I'd Gloss Blacked all my bare plastics apart from that lower section round your front fogs, because it was behind the splitter, so i'm just on the hunt for that panel to have gloss Blacked for when I remove mine.

Agreed . . . . . also joined "Club De-Badged" too last-week.
got rid of all this bling (but kept the Transporter of the LHS). . .
I go through phases on my vans. Last one had caravelle front grille, chrome lower, and splitter. This one is all gloss black and spoiler and splitter!! I suppose its easier for me as i change them every year!
Lucky sod..lol
It's finally arrived..
WOC splitter.
Any advice or tips for fitting?
It just come in a box with some allen bolts and nuts.
Best way to line it up or is it plainly obvious?

Here we Go then . . . . .
WOC Front Splitter Install.
Get it up on ramps for more clearance underneath . . . .
Doing it on my own so, roughly line it up and clamp in place . . . .
Check for clearance and space behind each panel and drill out a 6mm hole . . . .
The kit didn't come with any washers, so i added 6mm penny washers where i could (seems the Maxton kit comes with washers/instructions/stickers etc . . . Not the WOC one tho)
getting off the ramp was a bit close, but ok in the end . . . . about 10mm clearance!
final fittment and check . . . .
Looking good, i think this setup looks more classy than the OEM Sportline splitter . . . in reflex silver at least .
And a quick vid of the final fitting . . . .
