I think you can get them from Fiberon (www.damagedtvrs.co.uk). But unless you have an 'S' you are going to need a support bracket otherwise you could experience the same problems as gallardoguy!!

I think Trevor Bee at T.E.T Mouldings is cheaper. I got one recently, I think it was £65 and was fine. Watch for the steel bolts reacting with the brass nuts bonded into the body work, they often snap off (as I found out).

anybody keep tearing thier front splitter off?

I've done it twice now on sharp inclines meeting a flat bit of road or evil speed humps.

The big bolt in the middle seems sound so its not going to drop off completly but the sides seem to be help "up" with little screws which keep getting ripped out.

Im toying with the idea of ditching it, but it protects the paintwork on the from of the car from the afore mentioned incidents and I dont want to make the handling any more unpredictable, at least until I get new shocks! smile

as mcdudek said, i've had my own woes with my splitter.

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

i've had a new splitter made up in carbon fibre, which although obviously more expensive than the TVR original part, will be much stronger & resistant to failure (& it matches the carbon cans!)

i have the 's' splitter brace bar as well, although i'm at a loss as to how it fits the car at the moment despite the above link...

the car looks like this at the moment



and i cant see how or where the brace bar



fits & attaches to the car?

am i missing some fittings?

i need some advice urgently!

oh & mcdudek, your 's' is the exact spec i'd like, when you want to sell simply PM me...(the 2nd pic of your car in your profile is one of the best tuscan pics i've seen)

Your missing an 8mm threaded bar (can be brought from wickes) a couple of big washers and some bolts... hope this helps
Then your problems start as you've got to take both bonnets off. ............Good luck

Is it possible to fit Tuscan 2 winglets on a Tuscan S? Has anyone done this? What is involved? Any pics?
