Just to add, the front dam actually decreases horse power by 10bhp due to wind resistance. The smaller front dam is only -5bhp. Sod it, i'm taking mine off altogether  :lipsrsealed: :laugh:

Permission to be a complete pedant/aero geek. Technically none of the aforementioned front valance apendages are actually splitters. A splitter is a horizontal projection from the base of the front air dam, intended to tap the region of high pressure air directly ahead of the vehicle to create downforce. None of the standard VW front air dams work in this way and are thus not splitters.  :nerd:

P.s. Yes I will be fitting a VR6 front dam to my 'Valver when I get around to it.

You need to get out more.  :laugh:

In many ways quite true but I'm afraid it's probably too late; I've got me a degree in Motorsport Engineering so I'm actively looking to be a full time professional geek!

Sadly I'm out of the game at the moment  :sad: Got various irons in various fires. Do a bit of aluminium panel beating now and again; scoops, ducts and the like. A mate of mine and I have got the makings of a fairly mental 2.5 N/A Scooby engine project if only we could find a client with the money for it. Also busy building my own race car which will hopefully show people what I can do if they won't take any notice of anything else!
