My DIY splitter / lip for the R. Cheap mod!

Today I made my own splitter.

I used my old Kerscher lip as a template to cut out some 1/4 inch ABS sheeting.

Used my heat gun to make the curve that the R has then used some double tape and screws to mount it.

I think it came out great.

Video has a close up of the curve and explanation why I had to make a curve.

Cool Wheel configurator for Ronal wheels and the R

I've always had a liking for the classic Ronal turbos of the 80s. I found out that they make a variation in 18s for them.

Years ago Ronal used to be in So Cal but they closed up shop and went back to Europe. Importing them from 'across the pond' isn't cheap. I'm going to try and find a set here stateside that doesn't cost me an arm and a leg.

Anyways while surfing, I found a cool configurator that allowed me to see how those wheels would look like on my R.  The USA sites don't carry Ronal so unless you were a Photoshop aficionado, it wouldn't work plus this site is 3D so you can rotate the car. Not only that but you can choose the color of your car AND lower it!!!! I did a mild drop but you can do a slammed stance if you want.

That's so cool! I'm giddy like a grade school child.

Looks good with a mild drop.
