No it's three pieces, had a real hard time with it. Bought a 1200mm x 300mm piece, with the intention of cutting it into two pieces. 150mm x 1200mm is just about right. You need a total length of approx 2300mm.
Just couldn't get it to stay in the recess without bubbling, so just cut it again and fitted the top piece separately.

I see, still looks really good. Thats one good thing I found with the carbon lines, in that you can line them up if you had to do it in parts.

I fancy doing my splitter, but have way too many bolts that I've added, dont want to undo them all lol.

bit off topic but u say to have added more bolts too your splitter. Is that near the wheel arch? My spotter is bolted using the suied fixings but it looks like it's not a good fit below the winglets and just under front fog light cover

I have used extra bolts in both places where you have mentioned,the winglets being the worst, as you could hold it up where you wanted, so a bolt was added=sorted, and also in the middle of the splitter.
Reason being I noticed you could see some daylight/gapes, so adding bolts closed them up again. Its been like that for best part of a year now, and its 100%.

Managed to get some delivered yesterday, havent got my scooby anymore so did a bit of work on the vectra instead as its easier to take parts out of then it is on the rx7

Old on the left, new on the right



gearbox surround, ashtray and lighter socket



and both together



Lovely lookin stuff!

Started a nice little wrapping business to coincide with the vinyl business I have anyway, had a lot of interest in the north east already, alot of peeps on TTS coming for bits done in the next couple of weeks

Spent the afternoon doing my 2002 STi panels. Brilliant stuff although tricky to get to form into tight corners. Looks superb fitted, I'll take some completed photos tomorrow.
