They do look the business but when I broke mine I decided not to bother replacing it for the same reason. Certain car parks became 5 minutes of torture over whether you'd come out with the splitter or not.

Good spot on the weird driving too. Man in a BT van in Edinburgh eating a bowl of cereal is my own personal favourite.

Women (driver) wrapping a present at the traffic lights for me.

HT Auto's spitters seem to be a bit more tougher to the day to day scrimps and scrapes.

Local couple dogging it at the layby (sorry different topic.just read front splitter) i found most distracting!

Thats the 2nd one ive broken by the slightest of nudges, today was against a bit of snow!!!

Snow is a bit of a bugger with them because it acts as a plow and digs itself in but elsewhere in the event of and impact the splitter takes the brint of hte force rather than destoying your entire bumper... I'd rather replace the splitter than the front end anyday! Deer anyone!

I've got a fibreglass one but I beleive HT Autos now do a range of more flexible ones.. Not sure how well they paint up though..

I obliterated mine a few weeks back after spinning on black ice at about 3mph... that'll be my second in a year!

Found a good place on ebay that does cheap replica splitters, I I think one of those will be going on next as it look daft without a splitter IMO

I destroyed mine a few weeks back in water! Replaced it with a genuine STi (Carbon Fibre Look) bonded front splitter, installed by Grieves. I have got to say its absolutely solid.

Will post a couple of pics up later.

I smashed an HT Autos one to bits last year, got another one and so far its been pretty good at clearing the road! Its really flexible and held on with tons of screws!

A fibreglass splitter will break hitting anything above a couple of mph.

Bumpers are made from ABS plastic. Hit anything above 10 mph, and your bumper would crack. That's all ABS plastic can cope with to spring back to it's original shape.

Splitters that are made from ABS plastic, for that same reason, will also break with a 10mph impact.

I've just replaced a customers ABS spiller on his hawkeye when the mechanic at Arnold Clark snapped it in 2 when he was driving it onto a ramp for it's MOT.

So it's the joys of wanting to fit a splitter I'm afraid.

As promised!

Sorry about the cleanliness of the car, needs a wash!

Iv recently moved into a new house and coming onto the street is a 20 dergree angle which catches my front splitter unless I crawl out. It is so steep that I can get 1 wheel off the ground if I go at an angle. My splitter is Fibreglass but so far has not cracked.

I was out driving in snow that was actually higher than it the other day cleared my mates drive for him that which made me laugh

Heres a pic of the goosed one.

Now off, unless the one i noted above may cover up the scratches .

That Means Mr Scoobyseller, will the one fitted on the grey one above cover my scratches and if so then you send me a small goat with the S/F price?

I reckon it would cover those scratches! Supplied and fitted inc discount was £348.20 (By Mr Scoobyseller)

[Maxxed_Ross]

it better last at that price!!!!

[Wee Jock]

it better last at that price!!!!

Having had both types of splitter I would now take the bonded splitter all the time, it is solid and worth that little bit extra!
