That's interesting. Do they need to have an existing splitter to work from or can they make up one for a car that doesn't already have one? I wouldn't mind fitting one to mine but not sure what else I would need (brackets etc).

Cheers

Andy

PS: Where's Wickford?

I've just had a spare set of splitters (boomerangs) fitted for my Tuscan S vert by Surface & Design (Ex Factory Chaps..really good Andy,Dave and Mick) , I'll get them sprayed up to match the car at some point in the future (£250 the pair). Also got spare front grille and they're making me a spare service bonnet. The front grille on a 'S' is slightly different on a Mark 2 S compared to a non S, since there is an extra air vent to allow air to come off the splitters into the engine bay.

Hi Andy

Wickfords near Basildon (Essex)as your heading towards Southend on the A127..driving Phil at carbondelight says he fashion basically what you want,he just makes the moulds up of what you give him, and yes he can make one up from scratch..
The splitter was on my tuscan when i bought it,its fixed using 4 10mm bolts that screw up through the splitter into the body work. Mines the Red Rose version so the nuts where already there.
Just given him the boot badge to re-design..biggrin ..He should have the pics on his web site very soon....

Pete

yeah you will need the extra reinforcing brackets to mount it properly

I guess a breakers etc, its quite large and fits inside the grill etc I think it was EVO mag testing an S on the autobhans and the splitter broke hence TVR fitting the large mounting frame/bracket
