Welcome

I expect not, the FRP front splitter is designed to fit on a wider front bumper which in turn fits to wider front arches.

searching is fruitful | I'm a sponge not a mechanic | please do try that if stuck with a Puma problem whilst waiting for a reply | For the Puma fan this read 'The Inside Story Book' is very nice to own sometimes still seen for sale

In my garage, I have a standard puma bumper with an FRP splitter fitted...and it looks rather fine...if about 1.5 inches too wide either side.

So.yes, it can be done.

I would suggest you talk to Alan Farmer, as he makes real carbon fibre splitters for FRP's, and can no doubt help you out.

if your interested, i will be selling my FRP splitter, as i'm probably buying Ed's one.

It has got some slight scratches on the kerp side, but its perfect for anyone who has wrecked theirs, or a standard puma owner who wants to add one to theirs....

PM me if you are intertested, and i'll let you know if we are selling it, cost be around Â£40...

not that I know much about these things, but given that the FRP front splitter does actaully add to the areodynamics of the car, will fitting this to a Std. Kat not affect it's balance at speed?

I would hazard a guess that the splitter would do some good...in terms of smoothing airflow. Got to be better than a big vertical rubber strip hanging in the breeze :mrgreen:
