As jj said, we saw that pic when putting the plans together, the fixings are quite far apart, I count 3 across the front from where it bends.

I have used 8 around the front with the 32mm washers and the 3 original clam fixings at the rear :thumbsup

It's a one-off according to the fleabay ad and I certainly Have never seen one like it. it isn't moulded to the bodywork and seems to be designed with funtion in mind rather than cosmetic reasons.

If I knew how to make a mould of it I would.

The front fibreglass moulding plus one of these splitters looks awesome, a lot of the LOT cars were using them.
