Heres some pics of our new car!

Took these at the weekend when i had cleaned it, and yesterday my mrs had a small coming together with a kerb in a multi storey car park, and it has snapped the splitter on the drivers side! She has now lost all confidence in the car and doesnt want to drive it! any one any ideas how to calm her down?? lol!

sorry for the quality of these pictures, taken on my rubbish blackberry!











What do we think?
Thanks,

Craig

I assumed my wife would be the first to wreck our splitter, but no it was me, :-( Doesn't take much to damage them! Take it off for a bit until she gets confidence back.

this is my mrs's daily driver as she only does a few miles a day, and i have a company car for daily use, and we cant afford another car! shes saying she wants to get rid of it now, weve only had it two weeks!!! :S i cant make her drive it, but cant afford for it to sit there and her to get the train!!! argh, im sure her confidence will come back, but how do i reassure her of that now!!

Hmmmm like other people have said its very easy to rip the splitter off, like said maybe remove it for a bit untill she is more confident with the car, My gf found the scoop quite hard to get used to, it just takes time.

When i bought mine after 2 weeks i wanted to sell it i didn't like it, but i stuck with it and now i love it and have owned it over 2 years

get a pu front splitter they dont crack as easy as fibreglass, I have caught mine a few times and have only been left with light scratches underneath. Car looks good though I think the prodrive backbox is just right on both looks and sound,
