There should be something you can adapt in the scrap yard, Matt. Corse front bumper has a rubber lower edge that I'd think is a possibility. Stiff enough to do the job but flexy enough to survive the bumps.

The corner splitters I put on my Fury made a noticable difference both to cornering and high speed stability... and all done "by eye".

Thats a good idea. The mud should be drying out in the scrappy now the spring is on its way too.

Thanks,

Matt

Jeff's pictured splitter is a little narrower than the mock-up we tried at MIRA, but should have most of the effect. pretty much the same depth too. air flow around the wheels was dramatically improved with a wider part though.

Seat Cupra splitter looks like it would work. £30-50 on ebay.
