Default P1 front splitter

Evening

I'm restoring a P1 and could do with a replacement front splitter

I have seen some copies on eBay but I'm really unsure about the quality and really didn't want to fit a fibreglass splitter, I've also been told none of the ABS plastic ones on eBay have removable tow eye covers....

Reaching out a bit here but does anyone know where I could either find a good secondhand one or a good copy with removable tow eye cover?

Cheers in advance

Jim

Fibreglass...I'd avoid it, fibreglass chips to white, and splitters chip.
Also a small impact such as tyre debris or a stone will destroy it.

I've not seen another COPY with removable towing eye.
Why not wait, look around, get a genuine one, or bite the bullet and ask a dealer.

^^ If I needed one that's the one I'd go for, OEM will be very hard to find
