Today I attempted to construct a front splitter and more effective undertray out of 9mm plywood.
I started with a 2400x1200mm sheet of structural ply, and cut it down to 1700mmx1200. After taking a number of measurements, I cut out 600x400mm sections for the wheels, leaving a small triangle in the corners.
I then fitted this to the car, using existing bolt mounting points for the factory trays, and a bolt through the front bar.
Using a block I traced 50m around the front lip, and cut it out with a small jigsaw. I rounded the edges with a plane, and brushed on a coat of black acrylic. I also put a pair of extra bolts through the lip and splitter for more strength.
