Here's the splitter I ended making for mine, but removed due to it scraping all the bloody time and doing my head in (especially at over 80mph - it was obviously having a noticeable effect on downforce!) Excuse the black tape - the paint flaked on the front of it and I didn't want to paint it again..
It's 2mm aluminium - probably wouldn't bother with the undertray section next time, just make a lip/splitter out of 3 or 4mm ali. Don't worry about supports etc. because the bumper flexes so much you'll be wasting your time!
It'll fit an Aeroware front lip - if I can find it then you can have it mate
Hi Cal
thats very kind pal, however the main reason I'm doing this is that I'm
changing my front bumper to a border style. Its because I'm sick and tired of having
about 4cm's of clearance of the road lol. I have a polyurethane
aeroware from lip and although it has a nice amount of flex, it can't get up any
incline thats not super low !
Basically want to have a functional splitter that runs under the front of the car
but doesn't create so much downforce that It ends up putting my front end
into the tarmac at 100mph lol. Ideally it have it braced to the car and not
the FRP border bumper.
On time attack forums on FB everyone lists that marine ply is best to used
if you can't afford full carbon, then skin it in FRP or Carbon. Gonna
get some ideas also from them, but its mounting points under the car that I
think will be the tough point.
Dont get me wrong this may seem OTT for a road / occasional track car,
but if you can do something properly. Thats how I do it

Pm me a price on the poly lip if you sell it soon as I may be looking for a stop gap til I fit my kit
