I'd make the center gap (where the oem splitter is) a bit bigger, an 1" or so as to replicate the oem dimension and keep similar airflow

edit: I see it already is, the pic was a bit decieving to my eye

The depth of the spoiler is 46mm at the corners, 35mm at the front edge and wrapping around the corners and the oil cooler airgap is 30mm.

Apologies if I've missed anyone. I have had an indicated price of £200 inc VAT for one in GRP and I'm waiting on c/f price but it depends on numbers to absorb tooling cost.
Can I suggest that we pay a deposit of say £100 each? Dunno how to organise this - suggestions please, or we can deal individually with Argon direct?

I think it looks good in black, all this talk about it being an add on and looking out of place. The pics were reminding me of the new Rs4 with the angled corners so had a look and imho its got the same type of look what do you think I have added a couple of pics.

Official Audi looks a bit OTT - I prefer Argon. All this talk about grounding issues seems a bit scaremongering as the spoiler is less than 2" deep at the leading edge which is probably not much more, if at all, than the DTM.

To be honest im really not sure about it, im not up for one as my drive is very steep with a sharp turn my freinds 911 turbo can only get out if reversing, my car is low and the depth of the sides on the splitter are going to catch on lock pulling out, caldy well done for this im sure 99% of people will be up for this so keep it as is, but for me im out sorry

I think the spoiler looks good as it is, no need for any change to the design, I'm still up for one in carbon fibre.

Argon have posted on Facebook the price for the Carbon Fibre version:
"RRP will be around £300 and available initially in 2x2 twill but bespoke units in specific weaves can be ordered"
