Pro front splitter fitting

Hi
I've just ordered a pair of genuine pro front splitters for my F56 and was looking for a fitting guide/ instructions

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Pro Front Splitter Fitting

The removal and install is quite easy and straight forward. Best bet is to watch MiniVlog's video on youtube. Its a 2 minute video and he goes step by step. Again its an easy install.

I did search youtube and saw his vids - he just points at them and say they're easy to install but doesn't show how? i think his are the reps as genuine ones have another piece on each side which i think fits inside?

There is a PDF file in the following post that covers the installation of all of the JCW Pro aero parts:
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ml#post4312315

There are also posts in that thread about how some people made out with their installations.

Hope yours goes well. Post pictures. We would all like to see how they look.

Thanks Eddie
Doesn't show how to remove the standard ones, i think the arch might have to come away at the front edge to get to the top where the metal clip goes over?
I'll post pics once fitted

Well splitters arrived today so might have a go at fitting them this weekend.
I got the instructions off a member of a Mini group on FB as the dealer didn't include them.

When I did my splitters, I found it easier to jack up the front corners as I worked on them. Gives you more clearance to work.

Did you have to pull the front part of the wheel arch off to get to the screw on the splitter or is it visable?

Thanks

If I remember correctly, just the lower fasteners to get the hand inside.Just made it easier to get the splitters off and new ones on.
