Gb270 - Front Splitter

[Subarstar]

Hi guys,

Looking for a but of help:

My sister has a GB270 and has just damaged the front splitter! Doesn't know how it happenned.....aye right!

Anyway, the stealers want about £300 for a replacement splitter

I suggested that she just leaves it off, because more than likely it'll get damaged again, but it's her car, so she's going to fit a new one.

Surely there's somewhere cheaper than Subaru for the splitter.

Any help would be appreciated.

She should've bought a classic...... IMHO of course!

your original suggestion is best, leave it off. Scott Lowe do one for £160. could also try Revolution.

DO avoid a stealer replacement. Also, is there no way it can be repaired?

Agree with the eBay/HT Auto's suggestion.. Good quality splitter, very similar designs to the prodrive ones and a strong thing it is too.. Ran over mine and repaired it.. Recently whacked a deer and it's cracked but will be easily repaired again with some fibreglass kit from halfu'ds. It can take a fair clout I tell ya.

As for leaving it off.. No way, not on the hawkeyes' Look far better with it on IMHO Especially the GB270/RB320's it was designed to have one!... Just take note of high kerbs in parking areas!! and possibly ramps on multi story car parks...

If its fibreglass i can repair it properly for you.I do that for a living.

Yeah, I agree with that, it does look braw on the Hawkeye and for £118 it might be worth another dip into front-splitter joy. I wonder if it will fit the same holes as the previous one

I've scuffed the one on my GB270 as well. Luckily hardly noticeable. They are very low to the ground.

John,

If the fitment is as good as mine then you'll have no worries

HT Autos are a cracking company to deal with. The splitter is

plastic so none of that 'shatter into a million bits as soon as ye

hit a fag paper' malarky !!

Go on get the wallet oot.

Thanks for the replies

I think the HT Autos splitter sounds like the one.

On behalf of my sis' - thanks again!

Have to say, I had the Revolution one... and it shattered when I pinged into a hidden dip @ 15-20mph. I've now got an HT Autos plastic one and its had a very brief encounter with a kerb but there are NO marks on it at all, must have just taken the stress. I found that the mountings were identical between Revolution Splitter and HT Autos Splitter.

Cheers,

Grant

busted mine a while back, got it sorted a few weeks ago, guess wot? busted it again

the Jun ones seem to give up as soon as they see something comming towards them, thinking about a carbon fiber one now, that should put up a bit more of a fight
