They are the same think the only thing that differs is the vents. .

Yeah mate your right it is slighty deeper fitting should be the same though so i guess what you have to think about is clearance side of things. ..?

Cheers nomad,
Won it for 37.66 plus 10 postage bob. so near as makes no difference 50 quid, dear bit of secondhand plastic lol. hope it looks the part, soon find out as i hope to have the car finished by next weekend from paint.

no cutting needed.when you read cutting it normally means in the middle as its to long but that is on other cars and dose not apply to the pulsar.laguna do a vented or solid and as you say espace is just deeper.to deep for speed bumps on most Rs depends what size wheels you run and ride height

i used self tapping screws to fit mine, aint gonna lose another one of the boogers.
there easy to fit just make sure its central, fit the ends first then space it towards the middle making sure its even, you cant go wrong that way

Has anyone any photos of an Espace splitter fitted, offered up the Espace Splitter today and kinda looks like its gonna need the ends trimmed of to fit correctly. I know from previous comments you guys say this isnt the case, sorry in advance if i annoy anyone just want it right. Embarassed

lol
just looks like the edges are going to be too long and come out past the bumper ends but if its been done guess it will look ok when its screwed down at intervals

Well Guys Fitted the Espace Splitter looks mean and not too bad in terms of fit. Not 100% happy with the fit but maybe im too fussy Razz Car is near complete so will be throwing photos up later next week. Very Happy
