Default Replica stone deflectors?

I've heard the RSOC are going to make some and Automotive unlimited have said the same in their advert in Rallye news for the past few issues.

So i was just wondering if anybody knew anymore about it? As i'm getting desperate for one

Well yes and no...

Problem is it scuffs quite badly leaving my parents driveway so a carbon one would get wrecked as quickly as my fiberglass one is(StoneD&splitter). Unless i use the OE splitter with the carbon stone deflector, think i'd be able to adjust the splitter? Or just drill holes where i want it?

So is it worth a call to reserve one? Or will there be plenty?

there is a major issue with the production of the splitters for the RSOC, basicly the wrong type of plastic was used on the prototype, this meant that they were too hard and not flexible so the are looking at alternatives at the mo, don't expect them to appear soon tho
