Ha anyone fitted these to a non-M400 yet?

Aftermarket cost is £430 plus VAT (for both pieces). They are manufactured in some form of alloy - very strong and rigid. Unfortunately, the holes don't align with the full lenght splitter holes so a drill is required!

I like to look myself but feel that the full length splitter offers better clamshell protection - the M400's is unprotected in the centre.

Nathan has one. I don't think its standard fit on the m400 either (its fairly pricey!).

Do these splitters really do anything but protect the clam. When you look at proper racing cars, they are 5mm off the deck and stick out about a foot! Apparently the more bluff the front, the more useful it is, and the noble isn't exactly bluff...

I've got them but they were <b>much</b> cheaper when I got them. They are a poly something or other carbon weave (made using the same process as the McMerc SLR's rear diffuser).

I just taped them in place and got out a drill The holes are far enough away from the originals that it is just as strong and you can always swap back to the old one.

Nathan,
Did you have to take the clam off to do it, or can it bo done by just jacking op the front? Cheers,

Martin.

You can make it out on this pic. martin - I did it with the clam on, just had a special low clearance drill borrowed off a mate, you could easily get enough room by driving the front up on to a couple of bricks.
