    This post was from Sy in another f-site. This is the cheapest I have seen by far:

    The 348 tends get get a little light on the front at high speed. According to one specialist I talked to it's because teh front is not designed to well and air gets underneath.

    Ferrari designed a front air dam that solved teh problem. Unffortunatly it made teh front lower, resulting in it being ripped off quiet easily.

    The splitter however also suppoosedly works.

    Al at Alsaautomotive who is doing the respray just received the two splitters I recently ordered.

    As they were so cheap, decided to get two of them. Have them sprayed and keep one as a back up.

    You can get them from:

    Pro-Sport
    Unit 2,
    Highgrosvenor,
    Worfield Bridgnorth,
    Shropshire WV15 5PN
    Tel: 01746 710 781
    www.prosport-ferrari.com

    Mention my name for the special price of £120 plus vat & delivery for the galss fibre ones. They are looking into getting them made in carbon fiber as well.

    No kidding! Ferrari charges $900 for a genuine SS lip spoiler.

    Only problem is that it doesn't fit 100%.

    I've talked to pro-sport about it and they are looking into it.

    The one on my car didn't fit on the right hand side and needed some work done to it. Took Al a couple of hours to do. Philip Barton-Brown had a similar problem and did it himself.

    But at £120 plus extras, it's a good price and Pro-Sport are a reputable company here in the UK.

    PS. Next group buy I'm considering doing are performance manifolds for the 348.

    I'm talking to a company about having a set designed and made up as I want to have them installed later this year.

    I'm going to send them a pair of 348 manifolds in the next couple of weeks so they can see if any gains are possible. I would like get at least 15bhp if possible.

    I'll post up more info as soon as I have some feedback.

    Although I'm definetly going to get 1 set for myself if there is a performance increase, they will give a discount of 33% if 5 or more sets are made up.
