Anyone running just the front splitter?

If so please share pics.
 
I have been asking myself the same question. I have a carbon fibre diffuser and extension strakes from Aerie (which should (hopefully!) produce a small increase in downforce) and I think a front splitter in C/F would look good in combination. However I’m concerned a splitter will add too much downforce at the front and adversely affect aero balance. I really don’t a want to add a rear wing to increase rear downforce as that would spoil the overall appearance (in my opinion). So far I have only used my Emira on public roads so unlikely to reach speeds where aero balance will show itself, but at some point I may track it and don’t want snap oversteer - especially on high speed corners! So interested to know others experience of running a front splitter only.

I have been looking for photos of Emiras with just a front splitter and found this one from a recent Lotus Drivers Club Facebook post. Not my car and don’t know who the splitter manufacturer is.

It's a mid-engine car. I know these are set up well from the factory with the aero they were able to build into the body, but nearly all mid-engine cars benefit from a front splitter. With that said, most cars from the factory are set up to understeer anyway. You can't go wrong with a splitter even without rear aero added.
