been working on the undertray for the car today and had a load of fun making it :-D

there are only 2 pics at the moment as my photobucket is being gay

after marking out were the back part needed to be cut for the wheels these areas were cut
out. then it was time to mark up the lines of the 2 splitters of the bumpers, about 3" drfference
so there will be a inch over hange for the saphire bumper and sit flush with the escort one.

yes mate, that was the hardest thing to come up with but ive sussed it. there will be 3 brackes in the middle
about 3"long to sit on the lower cross member, the back will be clamped onto the middle of the anti roll bar
as this part dont move and the front will be bolted onto the splitter.

there is about a 3" gap at the back so it can suck some air out the back of the engine so its not contaned in situ.


some other pics from yesterdays work

Looks good Pabs - I would be inclined to put the heads of the bolts at the bottom though as one of those bolts will get tagged on the road and you wont be able to undo it.
