Ok time for a long overdue update ,after fitting a 500 splitter to my mates saff i decieded i fancied one on the turbo ,so ordered a fiberglass one up and did a quick test fit ,I had a saff bumper and knew i would have to cut and shut the two to get the right fit for the splitter ,anyway still work in progress so i will let the pics do the talking.
Bumper will be the same as what is on the car now but with the splitter.
Rough cuts losing the bars.middle one still to be made thinner.

Yes did see them a while back ,no fun in buying a bumper done though
did not want to mod the splitter as the turbo bumper goes under at each side ,if you get what i mean ,where a saff stays sort of straight covering the front wheels if you was looking at the car from the front .
