Heres a photo of mine;

(photo removed, sorry)

and heres where I had it from. Dead easy to fit and great quality. If you make them an offer of £100 they should accept;

Yeah, the HT Auto's splitter is very good quality. I have one on mine, too.

Hi,

I have a scott lowe fibre glass splitter on mine and have also fitted the one that has been recommended above on Zimmerman's car. They are equally easy to fit, however I think that the plastic one is more likely to survive a parking incident.....

Sadly I have found out to my cost that the fibre glass one doesn't.

Still, repaired and repainted and back on the car now.

HT Autos one on mine too, took 15 mins to fit and makes such a difference to the front end 8)

Looks like you parked too close to a high kerb.

Ouch - hope it is repairable.

Hi.. got the sti 8) front splitter on mine..expensive but great quality..was out the other night having some fun came round a long bend at speed, only to see a just laid table top speed bump.. :shock: thought about braking but the front would have dipped..so floored it instead splitter hit the speed bump..did not fall of or crack..just a little scrape on the underneath...but you need to plan your route with a splitter though..most car parks are a no go etc.

well after months of trying to decide whether to get a splitter finally received it today from ht autos but not that impressed by the finish on it,don't want to spray it blue as think it looks cool in black,but not sure whether to spray it black to give a better finish?has anyone else done this?

kev, do you think you could post some pictures? I am thinking of getting an HT Auto one also but not if the finish is low quality.

Kev - put something like Meguiars All Season Dressing on it. This darkens it up no end and doesnt make that "ready to paint" look so obvious. I do it with mine and i'm happy enough with it staying black :)

Thats the splitter finally on got very wet in the process but was worth it
i am quite very with it now that its on,after cleaning it up looks alot better.when it arrived it had some kind of glue or something on it but it came of fine.I will try and post some pics asap.
