Gutted for you, just put a new splitter on mine, got rid of the old fibreglass one and put a new flexi plastic one on so hopefully if i touch anything it will flex and not break

Am i feeling sorry for you right now, you car looked absolutly spotless, and stunning at the hastings run.

Think i need to treat my car to a few pressies now to make up for it, But first i need to source a Jun front splitter (not keen on the ebay replica's, heard bad things about the fitment of them).

well it got dent in door an three stab marks up side now so dont look so good but when i get back it is goin back in to be painted again so hopefully look top again

Not had much luck with that paint job have you. I think i'd cry .

[dazzlers82]

no most been my own fault so cant really moan it was the splitter that made me sick

[darryl_martin]

Sorry to hear that mate. And for those that are worrying that these things happen in 3's (Gurnars, Dazzler..) worry not......

No.3 slot is now taken Not a kerb but some uneven road, and I was only doing about 5mph!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can i ask you oppinions on this please. What do you think it's quality is like, looks good in the pics. and is much cheaper than the Official JUN splitters.

Would rather pay the extra £200 for the official one than have one that looks like it's falling off (although thats kinda what mine looks like atm ).

Edit: would help if i added the link ebay

Not sure about HTA splitters, ROAR recently brought one for his cassic, it was thin and full of air bubbles when he got it, he put a lot of work into it to make it look good but it still didn't fit well, then he just scrapped a drop kerb and it shattered, So thats 4 of you now whose done splitters, hope its not catching.

I'd reccommend jdl for splitters, i ripped mine off last year and run over it and it only needed a little bit of cosmetic work before it went back on

Was that a fibreglass splitter, these ones are made out of a flexible plastic, thats not to say they won't break but should be better than the fibreglass splitter i had on before that i had to repair twice

[luke_clifton]

Just been looking on HT Auto's website, and they do a P1 front splitter for the early shape cars. Now i have a dilemma, Jun style or P1 style??
