Default Front spiltters... whats a good robust make?

Hey folks.
There seems to be a fair difference in the price of these over ebay.. but what are you getting for the money !!!
The one i have is knackered as an old repair before my time has just crumbled out and left a horrible looking gash in the middle... so what should i replace it with that won't just fall apart with a light scrape here and their.

Your recommendations would be appreciated.

This is for a blobeye sti and the ones i have seen so far are these:

I like the carbon look ones but am a bit put off by the fact that it cant be resprayed once in a while if chipped on leading edge.

I actually bought one from the top link, It came and to be fair looked ok but the quality soon showed, Weak and crumbly cheap fibre compound,.


The bottom link looks a lot better.

I'm on my third HT autos splitter. Each lasts MUCH longer than a fibreglass one, but with a lowered car, even an HT one will eventually break

But I would recommend them nevertheless!!

If you are looking for a good strong front splitter I would try one of these

Nice one Marco.. i'll be getting one for my landy.

And thanks all for the comments. I'll be ordering an HTA one in morning and might even have the rear one ta boot.

Have had an eye on these for the sides also.. but not designed for the sti, has anyone fitted them and can show a pic of how they look !!
