Gen1 front splitter options?

..for the cooper S front bumper (). What are the options for a front splitter? I like the maxton style a lot because of the curved corners (not just plain flat), but its not available for the gen 1.




The only one I really see is the ECS one:

..but its hard to tell what it really looks like and I just want gloss black anyway - not a CF fan.

Are there any others out there?

is this for looks or for real use?

If it is for real track/autocross use use a piece of flat board or plastic, the bottom has 2 points you can bolt to once you remove the undertray, it will let you make the splitter go all the way back to the oilpan and you can use some 90 degree bend brackets and nutserts to make the front mount off the bumper support, pretty easy to do.

do not bolt it to the bumper or to the radiator support, if you hit something it'll ruin the radiator support and that's a pain in the *** to fix

M7 has one version for the factory Aero bumper, all the rest are Cooper S.

We added Sneed4speed linked above. Hope to carry even more in the future. So we have M7, sneed4speed, and racing dynamics for the Gen 1 MINIs.
