Sorry still getting used to the whole forum stuff, thought it would just tag him :/ my bad Doc

Are you using pla filament? Wanted to know how durable they are when using it for car parts. My printer prints using abs and PC etc but it's a nightmare to print on them materials

Got my TRC front splitter today, a replacement for the generic eBay one which a rabbit took out. The TRC on far more structurally sturdy. It goes well with the TRC skirts. I drilled out a piece of bar and fitted it to the Center support as I was not happy with the way the screws sat against the spoiler and added more support plates at each other hole.

It looks better back on the van...! The other one will be easier I hope!!
I was concerned about the caps being a bit loose, but after having a close look, turns out there are two little screws need fitting behind the glass!!😂

@gazza3112 I was meeting a car so I could not avoid it, it took a right chunk out of it, I’d say if it had of been a TRC one, like now, it would have survived
