Come up with a solution that should work, as an ideas it's a bit rough around the edges, but going to try it and see.
Have been working on this in pretty much every spare moment, cracking on but still got a long way to go. Got a couple of things sorted during week - new front bumper with air dam, still some work to be done to it. Used old interior carpet for the extension as it's stiff enough that it should hold it's shape at speed, flexible enough i can clear the speed bumps on my road.:

Some time with a staple gun later:

Then bolted it all to the bumper, tada!:

Yeah, pikey as you like, but should do the job. It's a laguna splitter, so still needs some reshaping with the heat gun (missus' hair dryer - shhh!).
Box full of fibreglass goodies arrived on Friday, ready to make the mould:

Kept up the pace this weekend, main job was swapping the front doors over - i now have working windows again, thank fook lol. Made some progress with the fairings, have begun to cut the steel to the template and marked up the brackets i want:

On a side note, my dad has donated some perspex - just the right amount to do both rear windows as it happens! That will have to wait for now though, priority lies with the aero stuff until next weekend.
