Nowt yet, will get one made soon though.


Paul - still could do with a JJ and Philthy extension below it

That should give extra downforce on the track Paul.

brakes would last 3-4 corners on track before melting

Sounds like an expensive set of upgrates. Did I snap you in the underground on Friday ?

having just fitted a pikey ( £23 ) car splitter thats on rtv gasket sealent and plastic ( n , plate /bolts )i am not to sure if steel bolts and penny washers may be better ? so the splitter takes the damage ?? being plastic

I had looked at those photos before hand, and we put 8 fixings on spread washers along the front edge and used 3 of the 5 original fixings towards the back of the car, so 11 in total.

Nylon bolts and nuts mean they should shear before damaging the fibreglass.

Really pleased with the finish and look

Either will be alright, it looks quite flimsy in the picture so I think it will crack/bend before the clam does

Off topic - is that your garage!?

The splitter looks to have three slots cut in of just below the front grill. That's about 50% of the possible downforce lost already. If they can be covered over to give full width solid that would be better.
