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
