If anyone needs an OEM urethane front splitter ASAP, last time I checked, you can get them from Gert at Carnewal:

I am keen for one too, so can we get an update on the ;
- price
- materials proposed (CF or Poly? - not fibreglass I destroyed two of those in just days)
- final design (I suggest original Porsche 968 turbo design is the go)

Thanks.

I believe CPR is layed up with a bad back injury.
I'd imagine it might be awhile, if he is going to do it.

Yes, I have destroyed a few of them.
They are easy to fix but it gets old.
If you deceide on this one, I would recommend rattle can black for
easy touch up.

If your car is lowered you may want to pass on it unless the roads
near you are in good condition.

A question, if you fit these front splitters, do you have to remove the black undertray from the front, that also attaches to the bottom of the standard bumper? (The one that directs air through the radiator etc?) It is hot in Aus in summer, and I am pretty sure I need it in place. Keen for your input, thanks.

No, the splitter is sandwiched between the bumper cover and the undertray.

If Patrick aka CPR is still planning on doing these 968 front splitters, or already is doing them, I am definitely interested.
