Hit a rabbit today guys and my cup splitter bit the dust.
Tempted by a carbon one, are the streamline ones any good?

Streamline carbon splitter... any good?
- Thread starter frayz

Ollie's Silver Cup
I previously had a K-Tec carbon splitter (wet-lay over fibreglass), but recently replaced it with the Streamline carbon (pre-preg) splitter.
The quality is fantastic, in my opinion. It's in two pieces too, left and right, so if you do damage it you can just replace one side.
They can take a little while to arrive (they quote up to 4 weeks iirc) but it's worth the wait.

There's a tab on one side of the splitter, so you can easily get the join looking neat.
You can just about see the join in this photo;

Have a look at some of the project threads, particularly the track car ones. Most people would have done this mod.

How much are these Streamline splitters and can they be ordered online?

Is that jus a gloss black splitter and not there carbon fibre one?
this is there carbon one, nice price to it too http://streamlinecarbon.com/v2/products-page/renault/renault-clio-mk2-172182-front-splitter/
Hey guys i now own streamlines 172 cup so yes i 'would' recommend one lol, but seriously they are very good got the number if you need it
Get some pics up. And look for a LY in Northampton as that'll be me hopefully! :race:
I've said it before but I'll say it again, if i was spending any money on carbon it would only be going to streamline. They are the only people to use proper carbon and not cheap wet lay crap.

Still waiting...
wet lay looks just as good mate!!! just spent sunday with chris who does all your wet lay carbon stuff and kitted him out with a gun and all 2k products for a proper finish! was impressed with with the finish we got on the mirror covers! looks much better as lacqured then flatted and re lacqured so gives you so much depth!spitters yes streamline! interior chris on here!!!
Some wet lay can look alright but 99% of what ive seen on here quite honestly i would be embaressed to have on my car. was chris the chap who did the full interior who is banned from selling on here? Pre preg or dont bother and unless you are using it for structual/extreme weight saving dont bother, carbon for looks = fail

Splitter finally arrived this week.
The finish was alright but personally didnt like the fitment on the car. I wasnt happy paying £175 for something that IMO didnt fit correctly. So sent it back and went for a new OEM from Renault.
Renault one arrived in 2 days and fitted today, fits perfect. Job done, just wish id done that in the first place 6 weeks ago.

Ha I think you will find I am i carbon fibre laminator for a double championship winning f1 team I think you will find I know a thing or two about this topic.
umm? where? maclaren??Im a paint sprayer and worked there for a while! to much paint and to heavey!!!got me there on the double champ winning side though!!! who?
Clearly Red bull.
clearly!!!! could have been benneton!repainted my inferno 182 this weekend and fitted up today with all streamline and great quality but the fit aint great TBH!chris came down to give us a hand and i must admit he done some mirror covers and you cant tell the difference between them and streamline!

Perhaps its just the nature of my work that has made me synical and picky (about the workmanship). One more thing wet lay resin is much more likely to 'yellow' from uv damage than prepreg resins, lacquer will slow this process down but wont prevent it.

Any photo's coming to this post?
Another interested carbon head, pre-preg, wet lay, skinning they all have there place. Depends on what your after!!! Weight save, cosmetic or structural.
Interestingly, I've had the wing mirror covers of SC and quality wise great but fit let them down. Fitted them a few times and never got a 'perfect fit'.
Also, I'm in the same business, I make the moulding tools for you guys ;-)

I have to agree tbh, most of the tat you see on here looks utter w**k. Distorted weave all over the place. The disadvantage of laminating a part as opposed to making a mould and making a proper carbon fibre part is that eventually the carbon will start to de-laminate from the original part.
