New front splitter?

[Adam111]

Where's the best place to source a new front splitter from?

I remember there were some on ebay that a bloke made in Scotland but can't find the link.

Thanks

Reverie do one

it works out well

Mine came off a while ago ( 160+ at Vmax ! ).

I did not bother fitting a new one. There are some speed humps ( including my drive ) that I no longer get a scrapping noise on.

Hi. Adam I also do a carbon one .Tux

[Adam111]

Thanks guys.

Did it do much damage Snuffy? Mine's off for the moment can can see what you mean - you gain an inch or so. Would rather scrape the splitter than the clam though if that makes sense!

I think you tried to send an email Tux but it was blank. Can you send again please bud with the cost of a carbon one?

Cheers

It sort of cracked in 2 places, with the middle half breaking away so it left the end bits still on. I think it was already damaged and so weakened so that when you are going at top whack there is so much pressure on it that it gave way. But, no damage to the car - just a very large bang !

I thought the same as you, i.e. better to scrap the splitter than the clam. But it does not catch on anything now, so I left it off. And the M400 does not come with one, which makes you wonder if it does very much anyway, especially at normal road speeds ( as opposed to track driving ).

Hi all,

Am looking for a front splitter too, and tux's one looks really good. I have a M400 which did not come with a splitter, how would i fix one on? How much are yours tux?

whilst your M400 didn't come with the splitter (I think it was only an option on M400 and not std?), the front clam is the same and you just need to attach it to the bottom the same as you would a 3r... some drilling for holes in you clam is the most that should be required.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the responses.

Tux,

How much is the carbon splitter (including delivery)? Does the carbon splitter include pre-drilled holes for the bolts? Do you also still do the wing end plates? If so, how much would it be for both?

All,

Im not much of a DIY guy, so apologies for the silly question, but what drill bit should be used to drill the holes in the clam? How many would i need? Does anybody have any pictures?

Thanks

Dan

Or the splitter catches the ground and rips the bottom of the cam off (I've seen one car missing 3 inches of the corner next to the wheel due to this).

All I've ever needed to do is take a few mills off the splitter lip with an angle grinder or sanding block and it clears all the pesky speed humps around my area. The standard splitter has too deep a lip so this is all that's needed.

I've got a new black gelcoat, fibreglass one, parcelled up ready to go £100 delivered if anyone is interested.

Colin. I'm needing a couple more of your carbon ones. Can you ship it to Oz ? Or is it too risky ?

I think you are right AMG but wonder if the depth gives it rigidity. When my first one failed the centre bolts (that go into the clam frame) had fallen out and at speed the centre section simply folded down so that what was the front was now scraping along the road. It does show what force there is on it. I'm thinking of trimming mine down and then adding some reinforcement underneath.

I've got the Tuxman Racing splitter and it looks superb, especially with the infills too.
