Sure, but do you mean for the cup spoiler or for the rubber stripping? (I can do for both of course) For the splitter / cup spoiler: that will ONLY fit Aero bumpers. That is because Aero bumpers have two additional pieces of plastic at the corners and this splitter is shaped around these.

Sure, no problem: here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cup-Spoiler- ... 2749.l2649 it is.

However, as per the above, will ONLY fit Aero bumpers.

CSR does offer splitters for other bumper varieties however, such as this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CSR-Cupspoil ... SwzrBap5B9.

Did you dig out the channel of orange rubber before you installed? Seems like the rubber o ring is just sitting on top?

What was your conclusion? Was there any draw? :?

No thankfully there wasn't, quite a fun way to look at it (also used a multi-meter to double check).

Depending on your previous wheel/tyre set up that will yield you some nice weight savings in your unsprung mass :thumbsup:

Took it out, washed the grime and filth off. Put some more Gtechniq C5 top up coating on. Put it back in the garage. Next doors car was parked quite close, so I didn’t even take a photo. What a poor existence for a Zed.

Yes, they felt lighter than the 18’s that came off, they’re a beautifully made wheel too... very high quality close up.

Realistically, I’ll probably downsize on the tires at some point too, which will further reduce unsprung weight. I like the look, but it’s borderline ‘Carlos fandango’ with 255’s on the front and 275’s on the rear :rofl:

Okay well that's good! I wasn't sure if I was interpreting the photo correctly, the faint red is the constant live? If it were brighter then it would be an indication of parasitic draw?

I went to move the Z today to give it a clean. Did I not go and forget to remove my 20W solar charger. I ran over it. Completely smashed it. I am so cheesed off as it has been brilliant all winter. Ah well it will be back on the road on Monday so that will keep it charged. :x
