New splitter looks good.

Can I ask what grilles you’re sporting as they look good too?
Fully custom, they're GT top and bottom (USA style lower) painted gloss black, the the OEM mesh cut out and replaced with black aluminium mesh and the tirbar pony mounted in the middle.

Ordered my first item from the USA today, 4 20mm hubcentric wheel spacers, £132 including postage and import taxes. Much cheaper than buying eibachs over here at nearly £250 for a set of four!

I await their arrival and will post pics when they are fitted, should improve the stance of the car no end.

I think it looks great :thumbsup:

I don't like the raised hood vents though maybe it's the angle. Have you considered a Cervini aftermarket hood?
With how much those hoods weigh, yes and no (Yes I've considered it, no I don't want one, not a big fan of the huge scoops either).

They're raised yes, but I actually quite like them. They always photograph badly due to shadowing on the hood, however, this may be a better shot:

Not that most people have set the braces up properly, to be honest every splitter i've seen is more cosmetic that anything else, usually such as APR/steeda the "crossed off" bottom (so it's got a flat pannel under the car, is more so they do less work when producing them (Less cutting/less intricate design), it does nothing for aero, unless as you say, they've got splitter rods and are pushing it down thus creating an extra zone for downforce (but also drag).

Need to vet the vents on yours buddy

Splitter finished with custom winglets, and also grilles, both finally now on the car as well :)!

Fitting the splitter was a pig, there's 10 bolts holding it in each with 4 washers, 1 nut, and 1 nylock nut on them (Because I'm not a fan of the splitter braces/adjustable props so wanted to bolt it in).

I then had to modify the actual brace inside of the OEM splitter to fit the bolts into, drill some holes into the oem splitter, cut some stuff, then mount the splitter to the OEM splitter, mount this to the car, and then mount the bellypan, reinstalled and happy days :D! (Pictures are shite because i didn't finish until about half 8)

I hope they are more open minded in the UK. I know someone who can't return to AZ after jumping bail.
