Reiger front splitter/lip

[Phil3]

I’m looking a front splitter for my FL RS3 and have came accrues the Rieger one... does anyone in the UK have one fitted? or know of any UK distributors of them?

From what I can see they don’t ship to the UK

Cheers

I had the Rieger splitter on my old PFL S3 and thought it was a great bit of kit at a fair price. Much nicer IMO than the Maxton offering.

The fit and finish was perfect, all holes were in the correct place and a peice of cake to fit with the supplied rivets. All I had to buy was a rivet gun from Amazon.

I bought mine from the UK importer who lists on Ebay - On-Line Auto Sport

Unless you pair this with side skirts I find the addition of a front sole splitter...well just odd. Looks out of place IMO. Not for me unless I had the money to go for the full Revozport kit or even the kit from Horsch...but don’t think that’s out to buy yet

 

[Phil3]

@jungle650 Awesome mate cheers... been in touch with them and they can indeed supply one! £229 delivered in gloss black to mainland UK

@FBF01 I see where you’re coming from mate, I’ll give it a little to weigh up the options and then go from there... I’m 60/40 in favour at the minute haha

Maybe if someone organised a group buy as there doesn’t seem to be many splitter options for the FL car available in the Uk. I for one would be interested. Would even get sideskirt and spoiler lip too.

 

[Phil3]

If anyone keen to look into a group buy I’d be up for it... personally I don’t want to hassle right now if organising one

It’s the Rieger one I’d be after too

I’ll have a go too lads

Here is the new Horsch CF kit. It's a subtle yet classy bit of kit. Sets the car apart. Build quality is very good.

Horsch offers this in various finishes. From tinted to forge carbon. This particular kit is blue carbon.

Current - 2018 RS3 Sedan
Past - 2016 RS3 SB

 

[billymc92]

They are a bit more expensive. They quoted me £600 delivered. And I don’t believe that was for the carbon one

 

[Phil3]

The Horsch kit looks the part, but the price as Billy’s said is a bit steep! The Rieger piece looks almost identical, all be it not carbon, and for a good chunk less than half too

 

[Phil3]

If anyone is interested in a Rieger front lip like the link in the first post... let me know in here... I’ll email the UK supplier asking for a forum discount if possible if we get rough numbers making it worth their while

[Phil3]

Emailed to see if they’ll do a forum discount so will write in here what I get back

Looking like they aren’t interested in any type of discount or forum deal... sorry fella’s

Agree, got one on my PFL s3 and I like it. Glad I didn't go for the huge Maxton one..

I bought mine from this place, maybe they could supply RS3 one also. Mine came straight from Germany so it doesn't seem like they stock them locally anyway.

Do you have a picture of yours? I’m wanting one on my pfl thanks

On S3 yes, you RS3 right - guess different design?

Wrapping that little bit between the lights and grille is another subtle but effective mod. Splitter looks really good too.

What do you guys think about this one? It’s from a company called Karp Performance in South Africa. Unfortunately they don’t have a website so I’ve messaged them on Instagram to get a price and shipping cost.

In my opinion it’s the best looking one I’ve seen. But I think it might be costly.

Looks good Given the exchange rate between £/Rand, may not be too bad. Currently over 17 to 1

 

[Phil3]

I don’t know if I’m liking the little vertical bits on each side?! I can’t make my mind up!?

I like this design a lot.

Dropped them a message on FB and they said that they're out of stock until next week, but "We can ship to the UK, the price without shipping will be approximately £250. Depending on the exchange rate at the time"

Can't help but wonder if a couple of side splitters would look much better paired with such an aggressive front splitter though.

I love those bits

 

[billymc92]

They are prepaired to do a group buy. I’m going to start a new thread. Would anyone be interested?

Good effort mate I’m going to get the Rieger one ordered next week, but looking forward to the photos of Karp one popping up!

 

[Phil3]

Splitter ordered and on its way over from Germany Should be here next week

 

[Phil3]

My Rieger front gloss black lip is here comes well packed and with about 3 million screams to attached it, along with the 3 million pre drilled holes in it! Will hopefully get round to fitting it on the weekend and getting some photos up

 

[Phil3]

Got the splitter fitted on the weekend, pretty straight forward job to be fair... hold in position, drill a few 3mm pilot holes and use the screws provided! Then with it secured and in position, drill and screw then rest

Was going to clean the car and get some decent photos but with the weather the way it is, can’t see than happening anytime soon! So just a quick one right after fitting...

 

[billymc92]

Love it mate

 

[Phil3]

Love it mate

Cheers pal... looks more aggressive from the front, but kinda still keeps the OEM looks, well pleased with it

Booked in to have the rear 1/3 of the roof (behind the pano roof) wrapped black in a couple of weeks too! Slowly getting there now!

Another photo of the splitter fitted...

Really interested to see how that turns out. I'm in two minds about getting mine done. Keep us posted mate!

Fingers crossed I’ll have it done on Wednesday so I’ll get photos up mate

@Phil3 looks great mate, any chance you could share the installation guide etc. and what fixing are included as id like to get one of these but nervous about drilling holes in my new car.

Thanks in advance

It’s in the bin and long gone, sorry

Very straight forward though mate... I got two people, to hold it in place on both sides and I went round checking (it suits the shape of the bumper so can’t really go wrong) then used a 3mm drill to put a pilot hole on each end, then used two of the hex head screws provided... with a screw in each sides it’s held secure, you can go round drilling all the 3mm holes and putting the screws in! Ohh and the splitter itself comes pre drilled, so makes it a doddle

 

[zippster]

Cheers @Phil3 I think I’ll take the plunge

 

[Phil3]

@zippster I got it from a company on eBay, I had bother with the so called “UK supplier” of it! Came to around £230 delivered, I can ratch out link if you need it

@Callump01 Cars in for the roof wrapping now... also getting the little parts next to the headlight done it gloss black to match... photos later or tomorrow
