Can we start a poll on how many sh*t posts you would get about it on SELOC ? Granted we were mean to BND but we know him, I would like to bid for 7 negatives.

Looks smart, if it makes the handling improve great.
Does it point down at all ? Cannot see from the photo too clearly
Speed bump issues ?
When is the first KH 100+MPH run (can you tell I have posted on the should the forum be public board :) )

Might put S2 ones on ebay, not much of a market for S1 Exige splitters, Ive put them on exiges.com though for the race cars :thumbsup

:lol: Will I post on SELOC and see what happens?

Speedbumps should be fine, its only 8mm lower than before. The first test run of 90mph was successful, I was more worried about the side pods flying off tbh :wink:

Remember guys, it'd have to blend up with the clam if it's to do anything but cause drag.

If you look at Guegelmens car he had a wrap! that went round the front to a flat plane splitter.

Why is that ? The ones below do not ? Though the idea was to stop the air being force under the car ?
