Don't think so , https://www.scoobynet.com/carbon-fro...r-t483935.html ,

you could go for the DR motorsport P1 'style' painted for £180,but it looks **** all like a P1
below HT auto's



proper replica


Where's the rest of it ????

Chris,

Is there any chance of getting a splitter done for the bugeye model? Is it the perception that there is not the demand or some other reason it was not on the list? It does seem to be harder to source a splitter for the bugeye

my splitter turned up this morning first off, big thanks to chris for doing the group buy, top work fella

quality is good, especially the paint. there's only a few tiny blemishes, but it's more than acceptable.

being a fussy ****** and working with fibreglass a bit at work, i'd have spent a bit more time with the trimming and concentrated a bit more on getting the layers a consistent thickness, but again, this is me being a bit of a perfectionist and makes NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL to the bit that you see on the car

overall i don't see how you can get better than this for the price and i'm a well happy chappy.

the splitter is off the car until tue/wed so if anyone wants any pics of any parts of it while it's off, feel free to ask. i'll post up pics when it's fitted.

looks great just sitting there on it's own, can't wait to get it on the car

Thanks Hoskib, it really is a good bit of kit for the price, and I see no need for spending hundreds when there's no need

You havn't missed anything sticky if you still want one, get your name down and give Mark a ring

I fear I'm going to have to pull out of this GB, I can't afford both the splitter and the STi side winglets. Give me to the end of the week though

Will do mate, I spoke to Mark about doing the winglets, but he said it was too much work involved, and easier for people to just order the genuine part. Maybe worth phoning around some breakers?

all fitted, really happy with the result sets the front of the car off a treat and nice to see a very close colour match

one point to you guys fitting yours is you may have a job using the existing bolts on the bolt either side nearest the front of the bumper (you'll know the ones i mean when you're under there!)

depending on the thickness of the fibreglass in that mounting area, your bolts may not be long enough. if you fix the rest of the mounting points it'll be strong enough for a trip to your local hardware store.

some pics:-

Sorry CW, gonna have to pull out. Not been able to source those winglets at a price I can afford (along with the splitter).

Allen, just phone Mark up (his number is on the HT Autos website), mention the group buy and give your Scoobynet username and he'll sort you out

Sorry to hear about that Neanderthal, keep looking and even once this is closed, the price will be right

AllenJ, as neanderthal says, just give Mark a call, although he'll be closed for the weekend by the time you've read this, call again on monday

i think painted in matt black is £120, so £75 for the splitter with P+P in matt black will be £195.

the colour coded paint is a good quality and good match and a bit cheaper at £150 all in

payment can be made by credit/debit card over the phone.

quick turn-around aswell

Only £120 for matt black, that's it. It's not then an extra £75 for painting again
Colour coding is obviously more expensive.

ahhhh

was wondering why a plain matt finish looked to cost more than proper paint

lol, what a tit

in that case DrEaM, you'll be getting a whole lot of quality painted splitter for not a lot of money
