here you go.....and yes they can 
Creative carbon spoiler & splitter.....dont think it looks too much TBH S1rst. It seems pointless buying the spoiler the hockey sticks and then not buying the splitter, personally for me it was all or nothing.

redrsmk5, that does look good actually mate, first time ive seen a carbon one in that postion, i think it looks much better like that. 
Do you have to drill your own holes then? I dont like it when the standard splitter sits in that postion because you can see the other mounting holes.

that is what i have done as mine catches the road quite a bit and i didnt want the carbon one to crack or evern worse rip my spoiler off / bumper if it hit the road
think it looks spot on like this but also think it looks ok all carbon, so do what ever you think is best for you.

Sounds good. Didnt even know you could get matt laquer. 
Im trying to picture what it would look like. I dont suppose anyones ever asked for a matt finish before, so assume no pics will be available.
(hope this isnt a wind up as ive never heard of matt laquer before
)

If I decide to stay with the boggo front bumper I'll be going for carbon stickers, and stone deflector, with a normal splitter - although I do still have Dave's old WRC bumper in the garage.... - still undecided what to go for though

S1rst: yes i drilled my own holes,its an inch out right the way around and sits perfectly(with new stainless steel nuts and bolts....well i am a bufty after all ) As the standard plastic ones go quite flimsy over time they tend to sag so that the splitter doesnt sit level. The carbon ones are so solid the splitter sits perfectly level. Wouldnt go back to standard now unless the absolute worst happened i.e. a badger being brave or a large brick in the road, standard ones would only then go back on until Mr Rainbird delivered me a new set of carbon ones
Nice to see they look well on all colours of Escort Cosworth too

Just had an email from Marcus from Creative Carbon and mine will be ready next week...woohoo.
Havent got a clue how to fix one to the bumper... I take it the hockey sticks are just black pop rivets.
I have had the cut the old bolts out of the inside of the bumper for the splitter as they were rusted in and snapped. Hoping just to get some stainless nuts and bolts to do the job.. anyone got any other ideas how to fix it in place?
