havent fitted it yet but had a good look at the bumper and it seems that ul have to cut ur own holes for the clips on the splitter to fit in.. i think i might just drill some holes and go for some nuts and bolts.. unless anyone knows of a better way to fit this in?

sorry for not getting back forgot about this, well i have fitted it and i didnt find it too hard, if your a fairly conifdent with your diy its not going to be a problem. It just needs to be lined up properly before commiting to drillign holes.. you will need about 16 screws if your going to drill them in (whcih is what i did). You will also have to cut 2 holes in the bumper where the splitter will clip in the middle.

i realise this probably doesnt give you a good idea so il try and take some good pictures over the weekend and post them up for you as the bumper will be coming of anyway.

Ok so heres my attempt;

the spoiler itself wich needs to be trimmed at either end but i just left this till the end, after id fitted it;
Image

in the pic u can see in the middle theres to bit sticking up these are like clips and need to be placed through a hole in the bumper. For this i masked up the area so i can make a lot of measurements and draw lines n what not till i got the spliiter bang on where i wanted it, i then cut the hole slightly smaller than needed;
Image

it needed a bit of trimming but eventualy i got the clips through;
Image
Image

i then drilled through from the underside holes along the tabs on the splitter and used washers, screws and clips to secure the splitter in place;
Image

hope this helps, defintly improves the look of bumper in my opnion, sorry for some of the pics being low quality..
heres how mine looks in the end;
