I really don't like it, it's triple the cost of what I'm doing, I don't want CF and the 1 person I know who bought one had a nightmare with it as it didn't fit!BeardyJon wrote: ↑Thu Oct 05, 2017 10:32 pm 3D Design do a pretty decent Carbon Fibre Splitter similar to the one you're designing. Looks like it hooks over the lower sill on the front bumper too so helps eliminate that gap.

Fair enough. Wasn't suggesting you should buy one. Just pointing out the design and how to solve the gap problem you had.

Cheers Steve.........can't wait to see the finished article.SteveSmith wrote: ↑Thu Oct 05, 2017 10:49 pmHe's spoken to me about some sort of nylon material which will sandwich between the splitter and the bumper. The centre part will be open.

I'd be interested in a CF one, if that's an option?

He will also produce a Carbon skinned one. I've specifically asked for an OEM finish like the BMW Performance items as I have no CF on my car and it seems silly to put CF on a front Splitter that is bound to scrape on the floor on a lowered car!

OK sounds good, I've got quite a few CF bits on the car so would like to stick with that theme if possible.SteveSmith wrote: ↑Fri Oct 06, 2017 12:50 pmHe will also produce a Carbon skinned one.

Just waiting on more pics to be sent! This has only been done roughly so the spacing needs sorting etc.

Looking good, definitely interested to see how this turns out
What sort of plastic will it be made from? Standard ABS stuff?
