They don't like the kerb stones, especially if you go straight at the end of the long uphill section in Spa... :mrgreen:

Definately get one, it completes the front of the car

You're average speed bump or table will not make contact with it unless you arrive at speed or are braking too hard on the approach. :wink:

Multi storey car parks are a no no though as most have ramps that are too steep :nono:

I ripped my original STi one off on a one foot high grass bank just before I sold it and it just didn't look anywhere near the same car, had managed to protect it for 2.5 years before that :roll:

The stupid thing was, I was taking pictures of the car to sell it when I did it........long story :bang:

Some people like to fit them so that they can do some grass cutting too :lol:

kerbs are the biggest problem, not speed bumps on public roads. Speed bumps on PRIVATE roads are often impossible !!

Love the look of the car with the splitter on, i've held back from getting one myself though as i'm not sure i'd get the car into my drive with one on

Would someone who has one do me a big favour & measure how much lower the front is with it fitted (ie measurement from bottom of bumper to bottom of splitter ) just so i can stick a piece of card with the same measurement on & see if i'll make it into the drive. Cheers
