Who would you recommend for repairing the scrapes I've got on the very front beside the number plate?
Wasn't bothered till my last effort put a little whole through it
I'm trying to be nice to my car at the moment in the hope it treats my as well as it did at EF

In fact, that was a gag, but Sinclaires darn sarf have some Alvan ones left, I believe.... Cover up the winglets.

Yup, there was a post on another board of a before and after - before, the wings were all chipped, dude slotted on the splitter and not only did it look cool but they were hidden. Makes it look a bit more Exige-y (is that a word?)
edited to add - this one looks neat

If you find a good fibreglass repairer let me know as some tool has reversed into mine pushing the grille back which has ripped its mount out and slightly cracked the fibreglass.

Any suggestions where to get hold of a splitter?
I'm about to check Bell and Colville and Lotuscars.co.uk ?

Aye, but does he?
I personally wouldn't give the man a cheque after some of the stories I've heard of things getting 'lost in the post' and manufacturer delays...

The Eliseparts one at 199 inc vat and not needing painted looks like a not bad option.
I would'nt be spending the extra on a CF one thats probably going to get damaged at some point, I suppose the fibreglass one would be at least sand-able and repairable.

Do SE get a discount at Eliseparts?
Looks like it may get purchased
