I had a 'iS' front splitter but it came off worse during a collision with several cones on the track and my pal who ran over it :cry:

Where can I get a front splitter for the track? What does everyone else use??

Lacking the front splitter...

Mine came off when I took a curb at Cadwell. I'm considering leaving it off for track days.

I use a replica M3 front bar made to fit inside the original dimensions of an E30 325i. Kevlar, weighs next to nothing, has brake ducts molded in, and bolt on plastic undertray.

They cost about AU$500, which is about GBP$230, or US$400; but that's in Australia - you'd probably get r*ped on shipping something that big to the UK or SA.

It's less of a bumper and more of a 1-piece composite airdam (like those you'd see on a touring car e.g. WTCC, V8 Supercar) with the plastic undertray bolted on underneath with several M5 countersunk head bolts & nuts.

If you check out X Race Products in the UK, they have something similar for E30 M3.
