Just fitted new splitter and broke it 30 sec later!!!
Just took delivery of a new front spoiler from Scott Lowe.
(Thanks for sorting everything out Scott!!)
Fitted it in a lunch time at my bro's house.
Time was a bit tight, rolled foward off his drive and it hit a metal plate in the floor that the gates rest on!!!
Absolutely, gutted 
It has taken approx and inch square of paint off and bent it, slap bang in the middle !!
Anyone got any suggestions on how to fix it ?

unlucky kiddo
sorryt hear about that...
my m8 has an ultima gtr that he has built over the last 3 years and its cost him like £55000. He promised me when he building it that he's take me for a spin when he'd completed it. yesterday was the date decided and i asked him to pick me up from the garage at about dinner. i heard the rumble come up th hill (at this moment i was under the mini fixing on the exhaust clamp other wise i'd have rushed out) next i heard a loud bang and expected the worse. i downed my 11 spanner and ran out. On the entrance to our car park theres a rather large lip and he'd ripped a section out of the complete front section off. The worrying thing was that the section that he had riped out was 18inches long.
When he got out of the car i asked him how much a new front end would be. I saw the depression in his face and he sighed £2400
i dont think youve done that bad m8
