    Tomcat 850 splitter

    Evening all,

    It's been suggested I need one of these! Can someone tell me how they are fitted to the bumper?

    Anyone got one they want to sell if TC doesn't have any available?

    Thanks

    Andy

    nice

    Do they come in just primer? I'd feel bad painting over that...

    Self tapping screws do the trick just fine!

    I have one in the garage. Not sure if I want to fit it or not though.

    Hey, looks like that mechanics' mat is being neglected. It should be hung nicely on a wall

    They normally come supplied in Satin black paint though I can paint them any colour requested for a little extra.
