My reason for this mod is for looks only (I don't generally track the car)

I very pleased with the outcome :) (hope you all like the look)

Dave

If anyone is interested in it you can email me xxdavidclarkxx@aol.com and I can point you in the right direction.

I am in no way connected with the company.

Julian thanks for the Imnotworthy Imnotworthy etc.

A very simple job to do but you do have to drill several holes in the underside of the bumper bit :o but worth the effort (1/2 hour job from start to finish) best on a ramp I spose or raise the front end a little to get good access. But it is a job that can be done from home.

Does look nice and as Dave did say its for looks only so thumbsup However (all IMO and all that) we found that front splitters can seriously affect the handling of the car (there is already decent downforce on the front) and when we first started testing mine I span it on the first corner :blink: The car simply wanted to pivot on the nose and was very difficult to control under high speed braking and cornering. :o We cut down my splitter 4 times (removing 1-2mm at a time) until I felt it was about right and gained some grip in the front without necessarily casuing issues at the back. As I said, looks only so no problem but for track work (or even hard road driving) I'd be very careful.
