I had a set of those in the middle 90's, not everything retro is cool - but funnily enough they work on your car for some reason.

you need the saffy andy rouse front splitter for the curve so it matches the end splitters. the rs500 1 is too flat at the front..

Just got an escos lower splitter. Dave twin just txt me with an idea.

Use the full escos splitter and then trim the sides splitters down to fit.

What do you'd think?

I think it'll look good

I bought some of these 10 yrs ago to put on my ST24, took them off soon after.
Look naff and i doubt they'll do anything for you.
Sorry Ron, but it's a thumbs down from me.

Right get looking good if thats what you think out of your mind

Ron you need a full front and extended under the car and you can make it look as ponsy as you like at the front tell what im off up the workshop il get some pics as every time we fit a full splitter to a race it does stablize it ans turning in improves so give me a couple of hours and it will be clear
