Front splitter

[TJC46]

Hi guys i have noticed this discussed on a few of the other model TVR forums. My question is; Is the chim suppose to have a splitter on as standard, i ask because mine has not but it looks as though something was once there because of a few holes. If it should have one can anybody please post a pic, i have access to various types of sheet metal including stainless, would it be easy to fab a few up/ and the most important question is it worth fitting/ thanks Tom.

Apparently it helps with high speed stability and stops the bonnet flexing about.

Mine is missing it too but i only have about 100mm clearance at the bumper already so i can't really put one on until the suspension is sorted.

And i know a few people on here have made them out of guttering.

IIRC do a search on the cerbera forum, there are some pics on there of what they should look like.

When I bought my current car, the previous owner included a detached splitter in the boot. I'm tempted to re-afix as the car has 17" wheels at the front so there is a lesser chance of it being snatched by a sleeping policeman..

Not necessarily! the overall diameter should not have changed if the wheels were chosen properly. Although the wheel diameters can go up the tyre sidewall goes down to compensate, hence low profile tyres. The ride height should not change.
