Ok, a little update....

I have a couple that are nearly finished, however progress is really, really slow because of the weather (it's been -2 in the garage today). I will persevere and try and get the few that are ordered finished as soon as possible, however the weather is not helping. Anyone who has ordered one can you just bear with me while I try and work around the weather and work etc..??.

Cheers all...

I will be taking more orders but not until I get these few out the way and get some slightly warmer weather...

happy new year to you all,

Gary

Hi TC, just wondering how things are going with these

Cheers,

Andy

Ok, I have 4 that are ready bar painting, and I have one that's just needing a little more fibreglass. I need to go out to get some more glass and resin but it's going to be at least Friday before I can manage that. Hopefully they should all be finished next week and ready for posting.

Depending on funding I should be in a position to try a carbon one next week, I'm only trying a small section though. If it all works out then I will start taking orders for them shortly afterwards.

Brilliant, might get you to post my two to RT's depending on what stage next week they are done as the car is going there a week Monday

Let me know when they are ready to be sent.

Cheers for the update

I want one... but....

Daft question time, first...

Will they fit on the standard T5 bumper, or are they only for the R bumpers?

**cameron** · Thursday 22nd January 2009, 16:57

Would they look ok on a standard bumper ?

Not sure myself, i think they are made for the R front end.

Tc will let you know soon no doubt.

Cheers

**t5 pete** · Thursday 22nd January 2009, 19:44

I think it depends on what the width of the lip under the t5 bumper as to weather there is enough room to fit securley

**Tomcat** · Thursday 22nd January 2009, 20:01

Width wise it would probably fit, but as Pete's already said you may not have enough plastic underneath the standard bumper for it to fix to.

**Volvostorm** · Thursday 22nd January 2009, 20:46

That would be a shame, as I like the splitters, but only have a T5 bumper.

Could you design or modify the splitter for us 'lesser' non R bumper owners?

**Tomcat** · Thursday 22nd January 2009, 21:11

The splitter as it is would fit, however if you go stick your head under your front bumper tomorrow you'll see that the lip underneath is only a couple of inched wide. If you think that you can attach a splitter to it then go for it,lol.

**cameron** · Thursday 22nd January 2009, 22:10

Could be an expensive mistake TC
