Hi,

I am looking for suitable material to use (other than mesh) to fill up the holes in the front lower splitter on my stagea. I am trying to make it look professional and I can't find suitable material that is stronger than mesh. Preferably I want them filled out so the grill material is flush with the front edge of the left, centre and right holes in the splitter.

Are there any pre-built inserts for the splitter I could buy?

Or does anyone have an idea of a good material to use that I could get custom fabricated to fit?

Thanks for your ideas.

Are you wanting to block off the airflow or retain it? If the latter there is a wide variety of mesh like material available. I know of a place in my city to get it so I imagine if you phoned around a few engineers supplies shops you should be able to find something to your liking.

Thanks for replying.

I want to retain the airflow. I'm in Ireland - not too many Stagea's here - and the materials for this sort of thing seem to be chicken-wire ... not nice.

I'm looking for something similar to that used in the rear-end of a murcielago ... I know it sounds far-fetched but it would look the business in those air-holes in the Stagea front-splitter.

See attached.

Step1: Find a friendly surgeon who is willing to remove any non-vital internal organs you can spare.

Step2: Give Lambo parts a call (preferably in a seated position)

Step3: use organs as a downpayment for mesh, and get Lambo to agree to accept your firstborn child for the remainder

Step4: fit mesh.

Alternatively, a decent metalworker could probably create something similar in the right dimensions, but I imagine it would be at significant cost...

hay eru you should be able to get something simular from a sheetmetal supplyer . i know here in australia they make a product that is made from stainless steel and it comes in diffrent grades (ie shinyness ) .

I only found one on Aus Ebay, in Taiwan. But heaps on the US site. Search for perforated mesh or round hole mesh. I dont like the expanded mesh personally.

I love the rims on that Murcielago.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
