Interest in Carbon Splitter for Cupra R?

[karlosR]

arosaracer had a carbon fibre SEAT SPORT splitter on his car and it looked the badgers nadgers but it was way too low. he got it for around £100

 

[ArosaRacer]

i did and i was scared to drive it!

looking back i could have got the rest of the parts and had a Cupra championship replica

Looks sexual but would last about a week before it got smashed to bits on my car.

speaking of carbon does anyone have any websites or contact details of companies that will do custom carbon pieces would be greatly appreciatied and the carbon splitter does look amazing but could only be used for show purposes

Hehe....you all seems so fragile about it...hehe....my plan was to go for carbonsplitter, hood, sidemirror and rear spoiler... may'be it too much..hehe...

You guys that had it, where did you get it? Dont want to get it special made is I just can order it from UK

Ive got a contact some where on the other computer ill look into finding it for those of you who want it. i will be intrested as ive looked into it before with the contact i have but they make the CF parts for F1 cars had along chat with him and because he would have to fab a mold up you were talking about 2-3k for it so not worth it unless you have a shed load of ppl that are very very interested so you can cut the cost right down.

They have to be made because nobody makes carbon fibre parts for the Leon. All Smiles made mine for me, they covered an original plastic one in CF, cost £150. The Focus RS carbon splitter costs over £300!!!

I have a spare one - I'm going to rub it down and spray it gloss black, see how it looks.

Arosa that splitter looks awesome. If someone could make some sort of cheaper, flexible copy I'd have one in an instant.

 

[Rikko]

Thing am going to buy a new one and just clear coat it aint paying £300 for something that will smash as soon as i drive out my drive althought yours did look nice Rob thing if you can hide the joins or even coat it your self in carbon laminate it could look good.

no way will i pay 150 quid for something that i've already replaced and need to replace again, any car park with a kerb in front of it and you'd have to leave the arse end of your car sitting out about a mile in case you smashed it, post some pics up when you've sprayed one gloss black rob please, also not keen on the other one, looks too big for my liking. each to there own though

we can u get the larger cupra championship splitter as a matter of interest ppl?

[RobDon]

That big splitter looks hideous on a road car TBH - it has that whole "trying too hard to look like a race car on the road" tacked-on thing about it.

 

[the_prophet]

i agree, def looks out of place. theres nothign wrogn with the standard one imo, would be interested to see a gloss black one, but cant see myself chaging mine. just not worth the time around my area.

I'm a bit of a dab hand with a paint can and i was going to spray up my engine cover this weekend. My GF has just bought me a new splitter (Love you Sarah (as i know you will log on tonight and look at all my new posts (Stalker))) Where was i?? O yeh.. So i think i will spray up this new splitter. Ill post some pics if i get time to do both!!!

 

[ArosaRacer]

i did it because i could at the time !! but it now lives on a ST200 mondeo somewere in essex!

Shouldn't be that much around £100 tops, evo's have them for this money.

I may be interested if quality is there.

Re those who are regularly going through spliters every 2 minutes, consider your car and watch what you are doing, our lass, yes the wife, is still on her first on her 04 LCR (and she does drive it, lucky to get 20mpg out of it) and it does scrape getting on the drive if you do not angle it correctly.

YOu have no excuse!!!!

Depends where you live, some areas have HUGE speed bumps!

And if you have it lowered??? Hard to scrape it with standard suspension but when lowered (which most of the people on here have done) it becomes quite an issue. So there

rob,

what wheels are those in the kames pic?

also, gloss black is a much better idea.
