I'm struggling with space under the car in terms of making a robust enough splitter that will provide some real down force.
Using 15mm plywood that is.
I'm tempted to just got bumper mounted with a small one as I still have a full flat floor.
Anyone else got some wisdom they could throw my way?
Look up youtube. There are vids by 'boffins' about them.

TRD works but it makes noticeably difference over 180km/h+
What is interesting after assembly full TRD aero kit, fuel consumption decreased.
The recent post by TougeTime on a fictional front splitter is worth a watch

Totally logical. Not writing ´told you so´ O:-)
The OEM shape is pretty bad both as inverted airfoil and drag behind the round bum. By improving air flow under the car; i.e. less lift under the front and more out of the back it gets both ´more downforce´ (less lift) and less drag (better fuel economy).
And it does not need a full TRD kit for that ;) Beer money for rubber strips, a jig saw and a dremel will do :))
Got mine very similar to his.
