Yeah, looks like it sticks out from the front a couple inches from the ground. It also looks like it continues on under the passenger compartment
Also, I need one of these for my collection but the cost is just way too high.
On the other hand, it'll never be worth less than what I paid for it at auction. The value will only increase.

That is gorgeous!
It's a splitter with a skid plate beneath, probably a "full" skid plate - which means it covers most things but has room to work around it.
This one makes my testicles sing glorious choruses into the night:

Yes. Yes, I would take that to Goodwood and race.
That is one hell of a machine there man! Holy wow.
I like to think I have a good eye for cars. I can look at the lot of 'em and pick out the beautiful, interesting, and valuable.
I do my research and, more often than not, my price estimation is really close to what the rest of the collector world thinks it should be. I could probably get employment as a car appraiser. I even have a tool that lets me tell how thick the paint is - or how thick the mud is under the paint for when it has been repaired.
I don't want to toot my own horn too much - but I'm pretty enthusiastic about automobiles, more so than most others on this planet, and I dare say I've accumulated a ton of knowledge. There are people who know more than I do, but I've learned a whole lot. So long as I have time and an internet connection, I can appraise most anything automobile related - even some memorabilia.
