Show me your front spoiler
Discussion
If you are being serious I am confused - I thought you had about 150 bhp more than me...Having been talked into investing the princely sum of £4 in a 2m length of square-line gutter in the probably forlorn hope of attaining some sort of aerodynamic nirvana by you converts despite my scepticism, anyone want to share the best method of splitting off the 4 useful fillets from the thing? Jigsaw, cutting disc, stanley knife, other?

I'm feeling left out,, I'm not convinced it does a thing below 100 mph but I'm most likely wrong so I'll go get some guttering,, red maybe. 
You have commented that my car felt planted around wherever it was you drove it (Bedford?). The splitter is part of the reason for that.
Mat Smith's expert work setting the car up is the rest of it.
"Yes yes yes,,, I know what I'm doing" In my best Kimi accent
I'm really talking about road driving Anthony, I tend to be more concerned with bumps that will spit me off rather than getting understeer,,
Just like an F1 front wing, it does nothing at all below 50 mph so our splitter can't be offering much in slow corners but the fast ones yes def indeed!
I notice the difference when over 120 mph but below that I can't feel any difference but I'm sure there is.
I'm a bugger for leaving a few jobs to do on the car,, some sense of if the car knows it's not totally fixed its happy and will let me get away with running it,, fix everything and somethings bound to go bang!
Just watch, I'll add some guttering then rave about the results

Right, made the thing - a sharp surform proved to be the best tool for getting the cut edge finished and even (with no dust), and a powerfile to round the drop section corners (again, very little dust with that) - am I correct in thinking it is supposed to go right at the trailing edge of the nose section? Mines never been drilled for one but that seems the obvious place for it and the GRP seems pretty sturdy just there - thinking I'm going to pop-rivet it on over a bead of sika. What's the thinking on front or rear facing?
