That sounds ideal, will take some measurements and run it pass Al, as he is the one who will be fabricating it.

Spray it up matt black, put some edging around the front and it will look the dogs danglies I think

Plus when you break it you wont cry so much :lol:

We're in for a very busy couple of weeks, plus we've got some very big decissions to make in the next 2 weeks, with regards to the future direction of the car. 8)

That made for interesting reading and helps to clarify why our second bumper didn't give as much down force as the original one. Yes the splitter is slightly narrower but more importantly it is an inch higher off the ground, thus the air flow under the car wasn't as fast...

I think I am going to lower the front of my car down

I think we need to put some support rods onto our splitter as we know that it bows in the middle at speeds over 60mph.

If we lower the front of ours it will just dig in under heavy breaking

. When we first took the car out at Cadwell before improving the suspension and changing the ARB, it basically scrapped on every corner, I think we lost about an inch on each side that day :lol:
