HI Marie,
Is this the S4 splitter ? i recall you saying you had to extend it as the Elan is wider ? if so how did you manage that (My Fiberglass work is not the best :) )

Yes its from an S4S or the V8. The OEM pieces are urethane and therefore can be heated with a heat gun to stretch them out to the appropriate dimensions.

It looks great in the pics- but I can assure you- better in person. The PITA is finding the part. After seeing Marie's (and not wanting to cough up the $ for a new one) I have been working the breakers/junk yards stateside for a used splitter to no avail. Yet... I will find one. Thanks for the pics, Marie!

I think Bibs (LEF) got his in the parts sale for his Turbo Esprit. Might be worth a PM as he's a member. I expect I could ship it to you...

I've been keeping an eye on the parts sale list for these splitters (LH and RH) but no joy as yet. Marie had kindly provided the part numbers some time ago.

A082B5084K
A082B5083K

Esprit V8 front splitter part numbers.

I emailed Bibs and he replied that he has an SE (not an S4, S4s or V8 Esprit) so he would have no interest in the splitter and has not bought one, thanks for the try though :)

I said he had a TURBO not a S4 etc.... and yes he doesn't have a splitter, it's a 'LIP SPOILER'. :roll:

The Esprit in the middle with gold wheels, check out the front lip..

S4 is also a Turbo, then again so is the V8 etc etc Maybe a few more details would have helped, as Bobs got 'his' is a little ambiguous, :roll:
