Default Anyone bought a ht auto's splitter

I phoned mark today and ordered a ht autos p1 front splitter for my track car as heard a lot of comments about my front end !!!!

Just after your thoughts on them are they a good fit and easy to install tools needed and fixings required etc....

Cheers all

I always use more screws and larger repair washers to save air getting between it folding down at very hi speeds.

. But like most things the stronger you make it something more expensive pulls off

IMHO

Fit mine the exact same way, and after driving at high speed it's still on there.

Got a P1 on my facelift classic, lovely piece of kit, great fit.
It fits with two screws and some SikaFlex.

Fit is good, but they only supply 4 bolts and nuts - you need 8, apparently the blob is meant to come with 4 already, mine didnt....also as they arent lock washers or nuts, a trip to the motorfactors is neccesary as they come lose after a while, and you lose your spoiler (its my fourth one due to caravan speed bumps in Cornwall, not using correct bolts, MOT tester cracking it at the end of the ramp and a kerb in the middle of a carpark)

I have their v limited style on my dbm classic,its a great bit of kit,perfect fit,it needed a good rub down before priming,then i gave it four good coats of satin black plasticoat,then used the self tappers and 2 nuts bolts and washers to fit.
Fitting took 20 mins including jacking the car up for clearance,no sealant needed,no cutting for front mount.
The result looks subtle but 100% better ,it lowers the car in line with the original side skirts,with no scraping on speed bumps or standard kerbs and no issues at high speed,im well pleased with it.
