Fitting Splitter To My03 Wrx....

[speech]

Last night I quickly put a front splitter that I got from HT Autos, but noticed around the bottom of the bumper that there were a few "knobs" that seem to stick out along the underside. I wasn't able to investigate these fully but it looks like they are poppers to hold the bottom of the bumper onto something?? Is this right?? Is it safe to just remove these poppers to get a flush fit? Anyone fitted a splitter to their WRX and have this issue - what did yo do??

I took a couple of photos of the bits in question, but they aren't that great:

Any help is greatly appreciated, don't want to go removing these poppers only for my bumper to come off/something inside to fall out!!

I think they are for holding the engine undertray on - the poppers should be removed then go back in THROUGH the splitter if I remember correctly.

Aye, got similar advice from someone else, so it looks like the Black & Decker* will be out tonight to drill a few more holes in the splitter.

Cheers for the reply mate.

*Other drill manufacturers are available

You could drill some holes in the splitter (if there are none already) and push the fixings through for a flush fit.

There should have been holes in your splitter where these should have gone through. Black and decker job is in order.
