Any new ideas of cars which have splitters good for reusing on other cars? I'm looking for one to fit my 850 just now, but the huge 90" overall length means that even the usual one size fits all Laguna number is too short! Laguna, too small!  |

How about the Espace splitter? They are the same as a laguna splitter only longer and deeper. This one.  |

I've got a mk4 golf one on the T4 van , I'm not sure on the exact width but I should imagine it's pretty wide .

Maybe a BMW 7 series front splitter? Think they had a couple of options, including Alpina ones  |

What about some retro corner splitters? I used to sell those things in the 90s at my weekend job at a car modifying shop...... and even then I was gagging at the sight of them! |

If you stumble upon anything that works, I'd be interested in something for my P1 V70.

Right last (Ridiculous) suggestion but how about something off one of these.  I know this one doesn't have a splitter as such but I have seen loads of them with splitters and this is the only photo I have! |

How about Range Rover P38, granted its not a massive splitter but it's 2 piece, plentiful and must be useful for something. I've gone down the moody cut the top off a bumper and stick it underneath route.

buy two of the cheapest ones you deem acceptable-looking and use one to lengthen the other. If you can't do it yourself, maybe have a plastic welder do it?

I knocked one up on my old MX5 from guttering oddly enough - was dirt cheap and looked good on I thought:  And this one on the car -  Made from this stuff, the slightly hexagonal shaped one with a handy line to cut down.  |

If you have some idea in mind of exactly the kind of shape/design you're looking for, we could always custom-make something or modify the bumper itself of you wanted something really special But here's a 200SX splitter, but it needed cutting and an extra 6 inches adding in the middle  Or there's this  Or there is a full RGM splitter which is better than the corners, but still not a fan personally. |

I love people using bits from other cars to get a new look, seems like proper old school custom car stuff to me. Bit more than a splitter some might say, but I've used a couple of different types with good success. First up an 80's Alfa GTV front air dam/splitter (chopped to shape and widened) - have a look at the build thread for more piccies and a sort of how to retrorides.proboards.com/thread/36015?page=6Before  In progress  Finished  Finish with an alloy front floor section. It was flipping strong as well, took a few speed bump strikes without any sign of damage. Latest has been to adapt a Jaguar XJ40 (XJ6) front lower valance/air dam to fit on my Mk1 Capri. This one was just a case of cutting it down in height, timming the ends to the right shape for the capri arches and then bending the ends in a bit using a hot air gun (hot air is your friend when adapting plastic bits from other cars!) Before  In progress. Now just needs some mountings like the Escort on had.  Hope that helps, looking forward to what you come up with. |
