Anybody know where I can find a cheap one? Are there various types? It looks like most companys now are only doing them for the Gen3/4

I can do them in either fibreglass or carbon but they are a copy of the original and we all know what you think about replicas smile

Sorry if I upset you Colin, I have no problem with Kit cars at all, Quite the opposite actually, theres a lot of realy good stuff out there biggrin I hate the snobbery that some owners of original marques have have against the kit car indusrty. The only issue I had was calling something a DODGE VIPER when its not! Its the same on the Piston Heads classifides go on the AC site of cars for sale and there are loads of replicas? Sorry but personally I think they should be under KIT CARS. I hope that clears that up thumbup Still at the end of the day your right about budgets and at least they could drive something simmilar!
Anyway, about these front splitters dose anybody have any pictures of what the finnished articles looks like? And what sort of price are they?

fatboy,
if you can't find what you look for in the UK..
you get front splitters from www.autoform-group.com (i have mine from there too, including the lemans fascia). It's called 'LeMans fascia and splitter combination'.
As a member of VCA you get 10 or 20% off. Can't remember anymore..
I payed about 4k EUR until it was here and painted. 700 EUR was shipping and crating only. If you have proper methods to get it shipped and painted, you pay nearly half.
Matter of gusto! I love it.

Another very committed man is from Sweden. I have contact to Johan. He bought some body parts from me for laminating them in kevlar, glasfiber and so on...
His contact is info@carfashion.nu
I think I remember, he has kevlar splitters too.

Another very nice and serious guy from the US is Kurtis, the marketing manager of snake-oyl products (viperparts).
He will be pleased to help you: www.snakeoylproducts.com

Archerracing is also a very strong performance enthusiast. You will find real racing splitters there, but a little pricey...

Oreca will not have anymore. I have bought all of the last aero GTSR parts, they had.
I still have a kevlar diffusor and rear wing (banane) for sale.


Cheers
Dennis

Thanks Dennis, The problem ive got at the moment is the access to my garage, if I was to put a front splitter on the car it would snap straight off as the camber of my road is too steep frown I need to contact my local council to see if they will do anything to improve the road whistle

I know the problem. But I touch the ground more at the rear than with the splitter. Think twice, if you install a GTSR diffusor or not.
A friend of me drives a GTSR. He has a race trailer and a garage. The garage is on a lower structural level than the ground and the road. He has concreted the whole slip road for up to 1 meter, so that he will not hit the ground, parking his car in the garage biggrin
First there is Viper, then there is splitter, then there is a new house. Think about it.
Regarding the performance and aesthetic factor, you should also think about lowering your car (if you haven't done yet), what will not make your plan easier smile
