Think Tuxman might be able to help, I would drop him an email via profile.

Tuxman did have it all listed on the public bit of NP but he seems to have removed all that confused

Maybe he doesn't want to do them now frown

To be honest whilst carbon ones look nice, I'd go with the old school painted ply or MDF. On our rubbish roads you're going to smash it to bits anyway...

Been looking at maybe making my own out of plasic sheet but ply would be cheaper.
Maybe a black plasticoat paint or spray might look ok.
Just got to work out how much it can stick out without catching speed bumps.

i made my own from High Density Polyethelyne plastic

its strong and impact resistant - it has had plenty of bangs and knocks and looks fine

i went for a longer style like the reverie one - you can still open the front clam because the plastic will bend if it hits the ground

Hi Phil I only ever produced the carbon stuff as a bit of fun and to make out cars look better , I ever made anything for a profit and to be honest lately it has not been worth the hassle , I have become more than a bit pissed of with some of the rumours that have been passed onto me and I feel I'm best off if I step away . I have some stock which when its gone will not be replaced and I shall leave the manufacturing to other people .

At least then I cannot be accused of copying !!!!!

Cant believe you listen Si, I have Reverie front splitter and rear defuser, I have Tux infills, end plates and drip rail.
and i have a Daddy Summo dash, do Reverie make infills drip trays or dashes, No so if you have the choice so much better,
do i think Reverie bits are worth the extra money, no i dont the finish is ok just ok, would I bother to spend the extra next time, probably not, so just do what you do mate and let people make there own choice.

Think it's 6mm. I can email you edf file if you like and then go on eBay and ask someone who is selling acrylic sheet if they will cut you the shape out.

I would just like to say thank you Simon for all your time and effort in producing the stuff you have done, it is areal shame that you feel the way you do, but after reading the posts I fully understand, however I think I am not on my own in saying that the things you have done made our nobles better, please keep on going with yor development, smile

That's disappointing to hear Tux. Sad times that so many people have to stick their oar in. Jealousy is usually the biggest culprit in life!

Anyway....might have to buy a spare splitter off you then before they disappear forever - and mine gets the odd scrape around London's best speed humps!!!
Phil - I would recommend Simon's splitter. Great shape and stops the front end looking so "kit car".

Cheers
