I posted some images of some F56 splitters that I have been working on in a group on Facebook and got some feedback. I made some adjustments and wanted to get more feedback.
Please take a look at these images below and vote for your favorite and give some constructive feedback. I got most images on both Non-S and S versions.
This is a prototype a local speed shop made. If anyone's interested I'll let you know when they're available. He hasn't settled on a price for them yet either.
On the VII splitter did you try any with the cut-out /indented part starting and stopping at the inside edge of the brake ducts. May or may not help it look/flow better with the lines of the bumper and brake ducts..
On earlier model JCW Bumpers there was more of and indented area on the bumper so that indented area on the splitter helped it flow better..

Yes I have been exploring that as well. That will be my next prototype. More pictures soon.
while i already have a splitter, i would vote for the Type I V2 - S...the mini is a rounded vehicle...no sharp edges..everything just flows...that being said i think the Type I fits the style of the mini...for me a splitter should blend into the car and not look like an add-on.
example is my splitter. many people have commented how it looks like it was already part of the car and not extended...

Thanks for the input. Yours does look good but I would consider that to be more of a "Lip" than a splitter. Splitters are suppose to stick out from the front bumper. Being these are more for aesthetics than aeor performance, they don't stick out as far as a splitter on a racecar that is generating downforce.
I agree. I like that splitter and for me I'd mainly want it for looks anyway, but it's not as effective as splitters that stick further out all around.. So comes down to why you want it and what your willing to spend to get it and do they make a form fitting lip/splitter for your year MINI like that one.. Which is why the rest of us had to do the add on look splitter as we had to other choice. So I made my own as well..
Call me old fashioned but I just dont think cardboard is going to be very aero or last very long in the rain.
Wrap it with some 200mph tape and it will be good...
Kidding aside, I have seen successful application of various laminated wood products (i.e.- plywood) used for splitters on track day cars. I certainly wouldn't want to run that daily, but it does work. Also have seen aluminum laminated plastic core sheet used as well, much thinner/lighter, but also much more $$.

These splitters will be available in Carbon Fiber and a very high strength/high resistance to wear plastic that has been extensively tested.
