Mk2 S Splitters/Winglets...

...are cosmetic only based upon my recent experience, having driven on all sorts of roads round Europe without them. This surprised me a bit as I thought they were a factor in the car feeling more stable at higher speeds.

What also 'surprised' me was one of them making a bid for freedom mid-overtake in the pouring rain in the Black Forest. Ran over it with front and rear tyres - just grateful it didn't hit any of my friend's cars travelling behind.

The rivnut(?) went with it too leaving a hole in the fibreglass...

Some different opinions here. Maybe my car acts differently as a few things have been reconfigured under the car (e.g. air intake, cooling), maybe my car is set up pretty well so difficult to tell the difference. Hey, maybe I'm not capable enough to feel the difference

I'll be replacing them anyway just for completeness

As above, this is my experience too. My point was this was unaffected by the splitters from what I observed...

I've just recalled a conversation with a suspension specialist a few years ago who mentioned that a Tuscan should be pointing down (simplification!) for best handling, so the individual with questionable handling at high speed may want to look at that.

Just a quick update - I'm getting some replacement carbon fibre splitters made up. PM me if anyone else is interested.

More expensive that GRP, but won't need painting.
