Hi guys, my 3R doesnt have a splitter and I feel the front looks a bit naked. Unless im missing something the piston heads search function is next to useless. I want a splitter that still allows me to open the front clam so if people are willing to post a few different variations it would be appreciated. I'm happy to buy one or build my own.

Cheers

standard splitter bolts to the clam so moves with it. You'll find there are already tapped bushes for the mounts inboard below the number plate and I think just clear holes on the outer edges.

There's a couple of general styles- either a complete one piece, or 2 seperate 'boomerang' bits that don't extend inwards much past the edge of the numberplate.

Plenty of images through google image search 'noble m12 splitter', though maybe not many closeup.

Cheers guys.Problem with google images is it doesn't tell you who makes the splitters unless you end up on the manufacturers website and often pictures aren't of them fitted hence why I asked on here. smile

A lot of people run the carbon full splitters, which were supplied by Tuxman on here, not sure if he still does them, sure he will be along at some point to comment.
Another option is reverie:

Cheers guys, sorry to hear that Tuxman. I'm guessing its keyboard warriors to lazy to do anything of their own?

Anybody else have any home made designs?

Andy had a mould and made the kind offer of letting me use it and the various bits of kit needed.

It's dry carbon fibre/Aramid mat layed in the mould, a foam core, and an inner carbon layer. The whole lot is then vacuum infused with resin. After removing from the mould it's cleaned up, trimmed and laquered.

I went for the aramid mix as I considered it might be more flexible so less likely to shatter. You could just wet lay but it would be tricky to keep the weave of the carbon neat. Cheap option would be wet lay glass fibre and paint it.

I know how to make another- but I don't have the equipment.

Good answer, thanks for that. Been a while since I've played with any composites. Will see how creative I'm feeling.

I drew mine on CAD and got an acrylic supplier to cut them for £30. There were talks about getting some made a bit thicker. I then dipped mine for looks.

Nicely done, do you still have the CAD file you'd be willing to pass on?

Ditto mgbond.

He gave me the CAD file and I got some laser cut. I think mine are 5mm. Look good on the car.

I would offer to cut some as I have a laser cutter at work. But to be honest if you waited for me to get it done you'd be better off paying £30 and getting it done elsewhere.
