Just wondering what there is out there and is available.

Just wondering if to buy or build.

It seems to be the thing for euro hill climbing. That and big diffusers and wings.....

What front end are you using?

 

With a clubman front end on mine (or will be) Im planning on using one of the air-dam type splitters available from ABS motorsport, depending how low down they go, I plan on to make an undertray upto the floor, ideally I'd have flat floors along up to the rear, I'll be closing in the exhaust tunnel and leading up to an aluminium diffuser at the rear. Not got to the point of planning anything out fully yet. One problem I can think of at the moment is the exhaust, where it's to go under my rear beam, there isnt a lot of height, and will probably end up with me using an oval tube at the end of the exhaust tunnel before it heads in to the exhaust boxes

Round nose.

I currently have an RC40 box at the back of the tunnel and pipe to the rear following the rear diffuser.

Have also considered side exit. But... Rules and regs.

Also considering a pair of MC cans just inboard of the rear wheels and then flat flooring it.

ABS Motorsport do a couple airdam type front ends. Clicky Clicky

 

I've been looking at the first type with the idea of adding a board type splitter to the front edge of it maybe 3/4" deep.

Not wanting a full front as running 9x13s

But it is woth thinking about . Might drop them a line for some total width measurements. Then I would know if they would cover the wheels.

They also do these type but if you are going for a full motorsport aero setup there previous 2 would probably be better options.

The second one has potential.

But having looked at those I think what I am going to end up with is a attached dam/splitter thing with a drop on front.
