Has anyone done any mods to the rear splitter ,
car bottomed out and removed paint and fibreglass near mounting bolts.
Was thinking of a carbon fibre replacement or an alloy type like on the Lotus 111R
I have found a company that may make one offs in carbon fibre.
Has anybody gone down this route.

Sounds as if you mainly need slightly stiffer dampers, unless your ride height's at the original (too low) factory setting...

Could also simply bond a couple of steel strips to the lowest surface on each side, giving added benefit of a spark show to remove tailgaters to a safe distance! hehe

Cobweb run Yorkshire Dales excessive speed past a Landy and a big dip in the road that I didnt see "wife saw it coming".

how do you alter the ride height ,the car is TVRs ex Press car.
had another look there is a adustable platform at the bottom of the spring i presume this is it .how much to adjust and to get both sides the same.

Had another look at it cracked round the front mounting bolts think it will glass up ,but would prefer something a bit stronger, why did they paint it under the car its not as though you can see it ?

Yup, that's just what I was remembering David!

Yellt350t - the standard damper housings do have adjustable collars to adjust the spring heights, but they seize up rather easily. You may be lucky. If so, just wind each side up the same number of turns, 1 or 2 complete revs should be enough.

If you increase the ride height and harden the spring does the car feel more bouncy bounce
