Had a little run in today with a scooby. Had the girlfriend and the dog in the car so was not up for anything mad, but when he started to mess around I thought I'd put him in his place. Its the first time I put her up against anything, the car that is, and it shocked me at the rate I caught the guy upto 60. I had to jam my breaks on before I shuted him up the rear.
That, on top of numerous 'Fantastic car mate' means I own the best car in the world.
I'm looking forward to putting it through its paces in some track days and 1/4 mile sprints. Just wish it would dry up a bit quicker.
See you around.

The moral of the story is, choose something slightly more challenging next time.

Never make it too easy. Don't forget it's not the winning or the losing, it's all in the thrill of the chase!

It was one of the first that Big Phil did in the North East. Styled on the T440. Its probably one of the best I've seen for fitment and realy beefs up the front. There's one or two copies around but if its one from the Newcastle area, they look very suspect as I've seen one that was taken off the road because it was so unsafe.

Sorry for the daft question, but can that be fitted to any tuscan? Looks really good

It only fits the MK1 Tuscan, we have some in stock for £100.
Don't be confused by copies this is our own design and is very high quality.

Here is another photo of the front end, fitting was easy and didn`t need much trimming.
You might have to move your alarm siren to get it to fit, i have had some custom front splitters made and fitted also

Sorry, perhaps my 2 posts were a little confusing. From you i was after a Tusc 'S' splitter, and from Tony info on the side splitters. Have you any 'S' ones in stock, as i know you had some in a while back? If so how much please, if not do you know where i can get one? Thanks, Martin.

Sorry we are out of stock of the splitter and unlikely to be making any in the near future.
