Snapped front spliiter
 
So annoyed! Took the boy to a local lake where the farmers roads are riddled with pot holes and after some rain the holes were full and I couldn't see how deep they were.

made it to the lake with no issues but on the way out I got caught out and broke my splitter.
other than Japan is there a supplier of the sti splitter?

im happy to get non oem but want it to look as close to oem as possible.

Gutted for you, I know the feeling by the way and need a new one myself. I repaired my last one with fiber glass and resin as it split completely in half in the middle. It worked out ok but had a weakness after that so was destroyed when I miss judged a curb.

Below is a link to a replacement for you, I will be ordering one myself soon.

Slightly off topic, but what is going on with your front number plate?

semih 05 January 2022 12:30 PM

is it plastic or fiberglass?

you can repair if you want

farmers roads,imagine what could happen with Tein coilovers fitted:norty:

If it's ABS, as most OEM spoilers/splitters are, ANY half decent body shop will plastic weld it and make it like new.

I got a brand new OEM one from Sprinting Hare JDM.

It was part of a front end refurb on the RA so I didn’t ask the exact price for the splitter but I do remember Tom wincing and saying they’re not cheap! Drop Tom a message and I’m sure he’ll provide a competitive price, best to contact him through the Facebook page. He’s sometimes a little slow at responding.

I’ve used the HT Autos one on my old black one. Quality and fitment weren’t great although I did ‘make’ it fit eventually.

most of parts You fit are not oem, whats a point to hunt for one?

ted bass 06 January 2022 11:23 AM

I fitted one from HT Autos and fitment wasn't to bad but had to get some better bolts to fit it properly, to be fair it's taken a few knocks and held up well but has started to warp along front of the bumper over the years.

evil.soup 06 January 2022 12:21 PM

My last one was after market and the fit was very good. It was very easy to take off and on without issues, I had to take it off to cross the channel a few times as it almost always grounded out entering the ship.

The ones I have linked in the second post have been selling on here for many many years without any significant complaints that I have seen.

got one from @KAS35RSTI for my hawk spec d many years ago and it was near identical to oem one

Splitters are a consumable on the Impreza so no point in spending big money on them. I have known people to replace them every few years as they just don't last on our crap roads, they do a great job protecting the front bumper though.

As above @KAS35RSTI good job.

KAS35RSTI 08 January 2022 08:56 PM
