P1 Splitter
Does anybody know a good place to get a P1 splitter?? I don't want a fibre glass one...
Seen this place but dont know much about them, anybody used them? http://www.htautos.co.uk/first.html |
Worth a look ?

Got one on mine, it looks the biz, but there are one or two two niggles, none of which would stop me buying one.
Firstly, the towing eye cover is fake. IF you have to get front end towed, the splitter may end up damaged. Secondly, it's quite thin, so painting once fixed to the bumper is recommended. If you can't, then exercise extreme care handling it, or you risk cracking the lovely new paint job:( Lastly, on mine, it was a VERY tight fit. It fits into the lower grille, and wraps around the rear of the bumper inside the wheel arch. I STRONGLY recommend you check the fit at this point, and shave bits off the bit inside the wheelarch until it's a decent, but NOT TOO TIGHT fit. I didn't know the above, and cracked mine across the corner where it wraps round. A phone call to HTAutos reccomended the use of Sika-Flex/Tiger Seal to repair it, and it worked. It is fitted with the same, nothing else. Would I still buy one? Yes, if I couldn't find a real one. I was unlucky: a real one went on here for the same as I paid for this, but I missed it:( |

I would also check with the seller that the bumper has not been adjusted for a FMI in its past, as i swapped my standard bumper with aguy on the RB5OC as he had a P1 splitter bonded and blended (looks the nuts) but what i didnt realise until it was fitted and the swap was complete that the lower middle section had been adjusted for a FMI to fit in!
