Default V8 front bumper "spats"

I have noticed on v8's fitted with a premium front bumper two black spats underneath the bumper , one either side , maybe to direct air to the brakes ?
I have a premium bumper on my 1.8t but there are no spats on the bottom bumper trim. Was this only fitted on v8's ?? I would like to replicate some , could anyone supply some measurements, overall length , distance from bumper edges, depth ?? Or even trace around them if I pay some postage ? Any help would be much appreciated

My V8 has those spats and I’m round the corner to you if you want to come round and measure up, and I do not have the premium grill either.

They’re not spats Matthew it’s actually a one piece plastic screws the the bottom of the bumper and goes the whole width. Only the V8 has it and they’re not available now

It's called a V8 splitter and is about 11 pictures down in the thread below

You will not get one unless you find a car being broken.

There are 1 or new brand new ones about, but the people that have them will never sell them.

Far easier to make one up yourself with the correct plastic/rubber sheet I would have thought.

I have a spare too, but will never sell.
